The alliance will enable Shaker’s customers to attract talent by hosting their own virtual career fairs.

“Because this online career fair is managed in a completely virtual environment, HR departments can cut costs of traditional, on-site events while moving toward more environmentally-friendly recruiting methods,” Tina Krater, Director of Sales said. “By capitalizing on the strength of the InXpo product, we are able to provide an easy, convenient and cost-efficient means of interaction between recruiters and job seekers.”

Virtual career fairs are just like traditional meet-and-greets at career fairs, except they are held online. The fairs incorporate elements that parallel job boards and social networking sites. Individual booths promote a company’s career opportunities similar to the customary on-site career fair and allow job seekers and recruiters to interact via instant chat or personal message. Recruiters can also collect resumes from qualified job seekers.
