Candidate Feedback: BrassRing employs post-event surveys and feedback forms, gathering critical insights into candidate satisfaction and their overall perspective on the recruitment process.
Evaluating Job Fair Success
Attendance Rate: The job fair’s attendance rate reflects the percentage turnout of registered candidates who actually attended the event. A higher attendance rate is indicative of not just a strong interest in district employment opportunities, but also a successful event promotion.
Candidate Engagement Metrics: Candidate engagement metrics—such as the number of interviews conducted, informational sessions attended and initiated follow-up interactions by candidates—offer valuable insights into the level of engagement and the amount of interest district employment generates.
Conversion Rate: A job fair’s conversion rate is the percentage of attendees who are able to successfully advance to the next stage of the hiring process, whether it’s by submitting applications or attending follow-up interviews. A higher conversion rate indicates that the right candidates were screened and that their interest aligned with district requirements.
Time-to-Hire: This metric measures the average time that elapses from when a candidate initiated contact at the job fair to the final decision to hire. A shorter time-to-hire demonstrates an effective recruitment strategy and a shorter time to fill openings.
Candidate Satisfaction Scores: A post-event survey, candidate satisfaction scores can assess candidate satisfaction with your job fair event on several factors such as organization, communication and general impression of the district.
Infinite BrassRing provides an integrated suite of analytics and tools to help school districts better plan, execute and evaluate job fairs. By leveraging these tools, districts will be better able to elevate candidate engagement, simplify recruitment efforts, and make informed decisions to help them attract the best candidates.
