Welcome back!

Career Forge’s newest career services software solution is an integrated Event Registration module thoughtfully designed to replace frustrating guessing and clicking with customizable fields and simple screens. 

Part 1 presented features and benefits for employer registration; in Part 2, you’ll discover a requested recruiter registration function, and a recap of Part 1. 

Simplifying Recruiter Registration

A novice software company or a group of engineers not paying attention might think managing employer and recruiter event registration is the same task. They’d both be wrong. Yes, employer representatives are signing up, but the individual recruiters representing the employer (or a third-party agency) are not necessarily setting filters. Instead, recruiters are typically responsible for attracting qualified student applicants. 

This is why this event registration system is written for event hosts to help employers and recruiters with equal ease. 

We showed how easily employers can sign up for events with our software: you send a link, they click, and if they're new, they set up an account. If their email matches an existing company in our system, the software asks if they want to join that group. Once they request to join, their company POC gets a heads-up to approve them so they can register for your event. 

You also get an alert to confirm their association if you recognize them. It's all about making event registration straightforward.

What benefits am I missing if I’m not using the Career Forge Event Registration software?

With Career Forge Event Registration, employers and recruiters can easily:

1. Register for a fair already set up in the Event Registration module
2. Manage changes to their data until event day
3. View current logistical details in the dashboard view
4. Add, remove, or add pending approval for additional recruiters.

Additionally, event hosts have free access to unlimited, live customer support, starting with these Q&As from the webinar. 

Q: Does your system allow Gmail accounts or what we'd call a free account? And if so, how does this affect registration when the employer has an account with a company email? What will the system do if the email domains don’t match? 

A. Great question. We built the Event Registration module expecting event hosts to encounter this situation. First, ideally, the employer uses a professional email account. But some employers, like local small businesses, use Gmail, and that's ok. 

Q: When a company makes a change that needs approval, is there a way the fair organizer can identify this, or is the registration back to pending status? 

A: There is a separate status for reapproval because the change is distinct from the first submission. However, a change does not delist or cancel the original registration. And the need to reapprove is to ensure your invoice is correct after the change. 

Of course, if the change doesn’t affect invoicing, for example, they’re still within the allowed number of recruiters, then the change processes automatically. 

Q: How does your system handle emails? For example, a generic professional email, like “talent acquisition@company.com?”

A: Easily. We’ll send the verification code, and as long as it’s a valid email, the Event Registration module recognizes it. 

What’s ahead? 

We appreciate the exceptional feedback on the Event Registration module, but you know there’s more coming, right?
