Steve Edwards is the founder and CEO of Premier Virtual which specializes in virtual career fairs. With their extremely easy user interface, hosts can have their event set up within minutes and ready to go live within 24 hours of selecting the date and time. Premier Virtual has perfected the virtual career fair by providing employers with completely customizable “booths” with employer “Interactive Hiring Room” that allows the employer to text chat and use the internal video chat to invite the candidate to a live “real time” interview. Jobseeker chat function allows them to send/receive messages from any booth in the event. So if you miss them initially, they can still respond even if they have already left your booth. Employers can respond to jobseeker’s questions, or initiate the chat themselves from the Employer Hiring Room. Back-end functionality allows the ability to follow up with jobseekers after the event.
Their platform has helped nearly 20,000 employers connect with over 200,000 registered job seekers. Advanced features allow recruiters to communicate with multiple candidates simultaneously. Its integrated one-on-one video functionality allows hiring teams to invite candidates into a video interview replicating in-person events.
