Recruiting Events Software: 2023 Buyer’s Guide
RippleMatch
In a competitive talent landscape, recruitment events are a great way to engage with candidates, giving them an inside look at your organization, culture, employees, and opportunities to help them make informed decisions about where they might want to work. And by offering some of those events virtually, you open the door to connecting with a much more diverse slate of candidates from varying backgrounds, improving accessibility to your open roles. However, executing impactful recruitment events — both virtually and in-person — can be challenging to navigate, from inviting the right candidates to your events, quickly following up afterwards with applications to keep the momentum going, and pipelining attendees who aren’t great fits for your open roles right now.

Kate Beckman
In today’s competitive recruitment landscape, a quick application response time is an indispensable tool for employers looking to attract and retain top talent — especially at the early career level.

Kate Beckman
While it’s promising that many organizations today are prioritizing diversity in hiring and strengthening their commitments to building a more inclusive workplace, there is still much more progress to be made to make the workforce a more welcoming place for all. That includes supporting traditionally underrepresented talent during their college careers, as they begin internships and job searches, and all the way through when it's time for them to seek a promotion at work. In other words, in order to truly support the newest entrants to the workforce — who are also the most diverse generation to date — your organization's commitment to D&I needs to be found in its recruitment strategy, hiring process, and support for employees.
