Question: CAMW! has hosted in-person and virtual hiring events in the past, tell me about the benefits and advantages of virtual hiring events?

● Since COVID-19, virtual hiring events have become more popular.
● According to Career Fair Plus, there are many benefits to hosting a virtual hiring event as opposed to in-person including:

○ Larger talent pool: People from anywhere can attend.

○ Unlimited attendees: Physical spaces have maximum capacity while virtual environments are unlimited.

○ Save money: It’s free to use platforms such as the Brazen platform.

Question: What is the Brazen platform and how can employers use it in the coming months?
● Brazen is the market-leading recruiting events management platform used by hiring teams
to reach new talent pools, convert candidates to new hires and accelerate the recruiting process.

● Employers can host virtual hiring events through Brazen with the following features:

○ Event promotion tools.

○ Video broadcasts and webinars.

○ Video chat.

○ Follow-up features.

○ Analytics and dashboards.

○ Scheduled chat.

Question: When is the best time for employers to begin recruiting for maximum reach to job seekers?
● According to Indeed, the best time to recruit is during the winter months, specifically, January and February.

○ Historically, the beginning months of the year tend to be slower for companies making it a perfect time to hire and train new employees.

○ Employers also have more time in the winter months to focus on recruitment as the workload tends to be slower.

○ Annual fiscal budgets restart at the beginning of the year for a majority of companies, creating the perfect opportunity for hiring.
