In the ever-evolving landscape of recruitment, virtual job fairs have become a powerful tool for connecting job seekers with potential employers. Not only do they cut down on time and logistical costs, but they also allow organizations to reach a global talent pool—all from the comfort of their digital workspaces. But how can you ensure that your virtual job fair runs smoothly, providing meaningful engagement between hundreds of companies and thousands of attendees? The answer lies in leveraging multiple rooms, a concept that’s transforming how virtual events operate.
In this blog, we’ll explore how chat platforms make it easy to set up and manage multiple chat rooms for different companies, improving the user experience and boosting hiring success.
What is a Virtual Job Fair?
A virtual job fair is an online event where job seekers and employers connect in real-time through chat, video, and document sharing. It replicates the in-person job fair experience—minus the travel and logistics. Companies set up virtual booths, meet candidates, and even conduct interviews, all within a single digital platform.
The growing popularity of virtual job fairs has led to rapid innovation in chat tools and plugins. Among these tools, RumbleTalk stands out for its ability to host multiple rooms, each serving as a dedicated virtual booth for participating companies.
Why You Need Multiple Chat Rooms for Your Virtual Job Fair
Imagine entering a job fair where all companies and candidates are lumped into one chaotic chat room. It would be nearly impossible to have focused conversations or conduct professional interviews. This is where multiple rooms come into play.
Each company can have its own dedicated chat room—its own “booth.” Candidates can easily find and connect with the recruiters they’re interested in, ask questions, submit resumes, and even participate in private interviews.
Benefits of having multiple rooms in a virtual job fair include:
- Dedicated space for each company
- Organized and targeted conversations
- Efficient resume submission
- Private chats and interviews
- Greater satisfaction for both employers and job seekers
With RumbleTalk, setting this up is not only possible—it’s incredibly easy.
How to Set Up Multiple Chat Rooms in RumbleTalk
Let’s walk through the steps to set up multiple rooms for your virtual job fair.
1. Create an Account
To get started, head over to the RumbleTalk homepage and sign up for a new account. If you already have one, simply log in.
2. Access the Admin Panel
Once you’re logged in, navigate to your Admin Panel. This is where you’ll control and customize your chat rooms.
3. Create Multiple Rooms
- Click on “Selected chat” in the top-left corner.
- Choose “Create a new chat room.”
- Name your chat room (e.g., “Company A Booth”), and click “Create.”
Repeat this process for each participating company. The number of chat rooms you can create depends on your account plan, but upgrading your plan to add more rooms is easy.
4. Customize Each Room
Every company’s booth should have its own branding. Luckily, RumbleTalk makes this simple:
- Click on Design under each chat room settings.
- Under Visual Design, you can change layout, colors, and fonts.
- Under Skins, you can choose pre-made themes or upload custom branding elements.
Pro Tip: Back up your design settings before changing skins to avoid losing custom images.
5. Embed Chat Rooms on Your Platform
Each chat room comes with a unique embed code. Copy and paste this code into your job fair website, or event landing page.
Advanced Features for a Professional Job Fair Experience
RumbleTalk doesn’t just offer multiple rooms—it also comes packed with features that elevate your event:
- Moderated Q&A: Let moderators screen messages before they go live—perfect for panel discussions or public Q&As.
- File Sharing: Allow candidates to upload resumes directly in the chat.
- Private Chat: Let recruiters initiate private conversations with candidates.
- Admin Controls: Assign moderators to each room to manage conversations and handle any disruptions.
Why Multiple Rooms Are the New Trend
As more companies adopt virtual job fairs, multiple rooms are becoming the gold standard. Here’s why:
- Scalability: As the number of participants grows, a single chat room simply isn’t enough. Multiple rooms ensure conversations remain focused and manageable.
- Personalization: Companies want to showcase their brand and speak directly to their target candidates. Individual rooms allow for this level of customization.
- Efficiency: Recruiters can screen, chat, and hire faster. Job seekers don’t waste time figuring out where to go—they jump straight into the right booth.
- Professionalism: The organized structure of multiple chat rooms mimics in-person events, making the experience intuitive and familiar.
- Improved Engagement: Participants are more likely to interact when they’re not overwhelmed by an overactive, generalized chat.
Simply put, multiple chat rooms are no longer a luxury—they’re a necessity for any serious virtual job fair.
Additional Tips for Hosting a Seamless Virtual Job Fair
- Train your moderators: Ensure each company representative knows how to use the chat tools effectively.
- Promote your event early: Let job seekers know they can interact with multiple companies in real time.
- Provide guidelines: Share event instructions with attendees so they understand how to navigate the platform.
- Use templates: Prepare message templates for common questions and welcome messages to save time.
