STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT (October 4, 2021)- A game-changer in the recruitment event space, Live Recruit recently launched a new version of its virtual hiring event platform, making it even easier for recruiters, headhunters, and staffing agencies to engage candidates and increase employer brand awareness — all on a simple and easy-to-use interface.
The event space exploded with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic when many hiring events were forced onto a virtual stage. However, recruiters and candidates were finding the existing technology clunky, outdated, and hard-to use.
By incorporating Live Recruit into their recruitment strategy, employers have been able to reduce cost-per-hire, source diverse talent, shorten time to hire, and create a hiring event in under 5 minutes, all while providing a world-class candidate experience.
“We knew the industry needed a great virtual hiring platform. Like many others in the recruitment industry, we were searching for hiring event solutions and couldn’t find anything that fit our specific recruitment needs,” said Richard Kaskel, Co-Founder of Live Recruit and CEO of Katon Direct, a recruitment marketing firm. “As a result, the team at Katon Direct decided to use our 19+ years of recruitment experience to create a virtual event platform that enables talented professionals to work at organizations where they’ll thrive.”
The newest version of Live Recruit was built with two principles in mind — simplicity and the candidate experience. It provides recruiters with the ability to:
- Create customized registration pages that show off organizations’ employer brands, capture candidate data, and advertise open positions
- Engage candidates with an intuitive sign-up process, easy scheduling options, and automated text and email reminders
- Utilize custom branding to connect with and excite top candidates
- Access comprehensive, real-time analytics, giving recruiters a big-picture overview of their talent pipeline and granular details about each event’s success
- Push all data captured to an Excel document or directly into an ATS
By partnering with Katon Direct, Live Recruit provides premier event promotion services. The team — which has 19+ years of recruitment marketing experience -— promotes your events on the channels where candidates are most likely to engage. They build a content strategy, design best-in-class virtual event marketing materials, scale your reach with smart digital and job board advertising, and engage potential attendees with direct communication.
“Katon Direct has been a valued partner for Bayard and their Live Recruit product has been instrumental in the success of our clients’ virtual recruiting events for RNs,” said Ann Troxell, VP of Client Solutions at Bayard Advertising, a recruitment marketing agency and Katon Direct partner. “They are incredibly responsive and our client has had great results.”
