RumbleTalk is proud to offer our clients the best solutions that combine technology and event management to produce measurable results. Having recently added a job fair company to our ever-growing list of clients, let’s take a quick look at how they used our platform to boost their outreach and audience engagement.

The highlight is the companies

The recent job fair connected students and recent graduates with job and internship opportunities with some of the world’s most recognizable corporations. This event was organized to connect job seekers with influential companies, which had virtual booths staffed by recruiters/moderators.

With the ability to apply for jobs on-the-spot, job fair attendees interacted with HR personnel/chat agents to discuss any questions they had about available positions, required skill sets, and qualifications.

“The chat rooms were great as we had no problem in connecting with the job seekers. All we had to do was wait for them to enter the chat room and instruct them on what to do next. We used the Expert’s Chat in one of our booths. It was life-changing. The well thought out interface was great. Job seekers were not intimated and were a nice touch.”

Hassle-free registration

To keep the event audience relevant and attract thriving professionals, the registration process required interested guests to register using an email address. So, it was encouraged to use a .edu email address to confirm that these are fresh graduates. This established that the right kind of talent was invited and apply for internships and jobs. This also gave them access to a pool of opportunities that would prepare them for career challenges.

“We had job fairs in the past. Lots of attendees were coming in and out. In this event, we wanted to keep track of our potential hires. By leaving their emails, we would have no problem communicating with them even after the event.”

Multiple chat rooms for job fair booths

What sets the job fair apart from others is that the most sought-after employers hosted live webinars to connect, communicate, and answer job seekers’ concerns that would otherwise take a long time to address.

Furthermore, RumbleTalk can be configured to have as many chat rooms as you require. The organizers of this event set up 200 chat rooms that served as online booths for the companies and private meeting rooms for interviews.

By establishing this, job seekers gained access to a variety of employers and opportunities all at once. They were also able to converse with multiple companies in one virtual space without leaving any sessions. Moreover, employers can contact as many candidates as they want.

“Having the ability to add multiple chat rooms was phenomenal! We had candidates lined up, but it did not take long to cater them. So, this made it easier to have a one-on-one conversation and get a feel of the candidates’ personalities and what they can bring to the table.”

Final thoughts about using RumbleTalk chat for online job fair platforms

The company was able to create a memorable event. With mutually beneficial outcomes for recruiters and job seekers alike, the job fair was a success. It’s all thanks to an outstanding pool of employers providing an excellent set of jobs and internships.

It was a natural choice to use the RumbleTalk chat room to discuss career opportunities at an online job fair. It increased engagement and enabled employers to contact hundreds of high-quality candidates around the world.

Everyone has been thinking about chat lately. From apps to chat rooms, it has been a staple in the digital era. Now that companies are also focusing their efforts online, a chat solution is worth looking into.

What can a chat do for your website? Read on to know more. 

Controlling the chat experience means controlling the customer relationship

When you use any technology, data privacy concerns are high. Therefore, marketplaces like eBay are building chat right into their apps to maintain full control of the chat experience and user data.

ECommerce sites understand that owning the chat means having more control over the customer experience.

Advantages of having a native, rich chat solution on your website

• Chat can be seamlessly integrated into your transaction workflow. This makes the transaction experience as simple as sending a message in chat.
• Built-in chat eliminates the need for your users to leave your platform to communicate with one another. This means a more seamless and uninterrupted user experience.
• Live chat facilitates and expedites buyer-seller negotiations. This results in higher completion rates and happier users.
• Live chat protects users’ privacy by allowing them to negotiate without disclosing personal information such as contact information. It also eliminates the risk of using intermediaries.
• More chat rooms mean more data to analyze to better understand user preferences and improve the website experience.
• Moderating live chat with notifications that keep the conversation going increases engagement and the likelihood of users making multiple transactions.
• You can also incorporate a feedback system into the chat to help improve your rating. As a result, you drive more transactions on your website.

Users are less likely to go off-platform to complete their transactions using a third-party app if they have a chat room. This could result in saving money from platform fees.

Chat as the website’s focal point

More importantly, if users take their conversation off-platform, you lose control of the user experience. This means you can no longer protect users by using moderation and safety tools.

It also means you can’t accept payments or protect users if something goes wrong. This can have a long-term impact on your trust rating. Even if a negative experience occurs outside the platform, users will recall that it began on your site and may be hesitant to come back.

While it may be tempting to outsource communication to a third-party platform like WhatsApp because it’s easier than developing your own chat feature, doing so gives them control of the customer relationship and data.

This leaves you at the platform’s mercy. They can easily decide to charge you additional fees for limited access to user data. When you lose control of your feedback info, you lose access to information that can help you improve your customers’ experiences.

This can be extremely costly if you fail to capitalize on an opportunity. Or worse, if the platform on which you rely capitalizes on the opportunity first. Furthermore, owning the chat means having more visibility and control over your users’ data.

The good news is that you don’t have to choose between developing your own chat solution from scratch or using third-party platforms.

Choosing RumbleTalk as your chat solution

Instead, we believe it is preferable to buy and then build for a more robust branded chat experience. With RumbleTalk’s chat API and SDKs, you can integrate an infinitely scalable chat solution. This includes voice and video calls to your website. You can begin providing exceptional user experiences in just a few weeks.

A virtual job fair is an effective means of connecting job seekers with potential employers. All while also saving companies money on their recruiting efforts.

However, one challenge that many virtual job fair organizers face is the time and expense of connecting hundreds of companies with thousands of job seekers. You’ll need an event chat room, a private chat room, file sharing tools for documents, admin functions to moderate discussions, and more.

In this article, we’ll show you how RumbleTalk can seamlessly integrate all of these features in one powerful platform.

What is a virtual job fair?

A virtual job fair is an online event that allows companies and candidates to interact with each other in real-time. With its growing popularity, plugins that support the needs of online job fair organizers are also continuously innovating. But what makes RumbleTalk different?

First, it allows you to create multiple chat rooms that will serve as company booths. Second, it has a Moderated Q&A feature, which allows you to screen messages before it goes live. Finally, it is packed with all the engagement tools and support you need for seamless operations and a flawless experience for your clients.

Why do I need multiple chat rooms for my virtual job fair?

• 

Imagine a virtual job fair with only one public chat. How can you reach your prospects? How can potential candidates send their resumes to companies? To some, it might be pointless to attend a job fair without real-time interaction with the specific people you want to talk to.

So, RumbleTalk made a way to bridge this gap. How? By allowing organizers to create multiple chat rooms. One chat room for every company, just like a virtual booth. This is a space where candidates can come in, send in their profiles, and have one-on-one interviews with the hiring officers. It’s incredibly convenient for both the company and the candidate.
