I have been reading about the new Africa Virtual Job fair that just started today over at Zebra Jobs.com. After logging in and looking around I have to say I am quite impressed. It looks like they are using a technology from Inxpo, a Chicago based technology company to produce the fair. The job fair is set to run from today through December 31st, 2009. They have a few name-brand companies, the biggest being IBM.
This is a great example of how the recruiting industry is changing largely because technology is forcing it to. Technology is making it easier and more efficent to find good candidates for your company without having to travel to the ends of the earth. Zebra Jobs puts that fact on full display through their African Virtual job fair.
Couple of questions:
1. Is your company open to using innovative recruiting ideas like this one?
2. If you are having trouble finding talent locally, what methods are you using to gain exposure nationally or internationally?
3. Are you uncomfortable with technology like this even though it is unproven and virtually untested?
4. Even though technology has made it easier to find talent do you still prefer meeting candidates face-to-face or at actual job fairs or recruiting events?
