Virtual recruitment fairs are set to become the new norm with the launch of a new online recruitment fair for the healthcare sector, aiming to help the hospitals and medical organisations with the thousands of new roles announced last month by the HSE.
Healthcare Careers Ireland will run a specialist virtual careers fair matching skilled professionals such as nurses, doctors and healthcare staff with hospitals, nursing homes and employers in the sector on 16th September 2020. The event will be free to attend for candidates in Ireland and abroad and represents an efficient and cost-effective way for employers to recruit to fill vital roles created by the current Covid-19 crisis. The events allow candidates to engage with decision-makers from the comfort of their own home or office in a real-time environment, make appointments to chat with specific organizations without needing to travel. This is particularly beneficial to jobseekers outside major urban areas, candidates looking to relocate and, of course, those seeking new opportunities in the current situation.
The event will be limited to ten employers in the sector, with hundreds of pre-screened medical professionals expected to attend.
Online recruitment fairs have been embraced by savvy companies around the world. Finding the right staff is crucial to all employers, but recruitment can be a time-consuming and costly process, particularly in the current Covid-19 era. Virtual recruitment fairs allow employers and recruitment firms to meet high-caliber potential employees from around the country, or indeed the globe, without needing to physically meet candidates. Healthcare Careers Ireland brings pre-screened, qualified candidates into an online platform, helping to find quality staff at a fraction of the cost and time of traditional recruitment methods.
Healthcare Careers is operated by BCS Recruitment, a Dublin-based recruitment company that specialises in operating major physical events such as Jobs Expo, Construction Jobs Expo, Tech Careers Expo and Biz Expo.
