Product Summary

ONLINE EVENTS

Online events offer employers a powerful way to engage their talent communities.

Invite candidates or existing employees to your online events and help them learn more about your company, your culture or specific job opportunities.

Provide a better call to action.

Being invited to an online hiring event is a powerful draw for many candidates. Events are designed to connect candidates to recruiters, hiring managers and employee ambassadors in timed one-on-one chats that take place on a particular date and time. Embed corporate videos, content and job listings in your online event and create a completely branded and candidate-friendly experience.

Reach specific talent pools.

Online events are powerful recruitment marketing tools in your recruiting toolkit. By their very nature, online events allow you to precisely target and invite specific talent pools. This is a great way to reach veterans, diversity talent, and other hard to reach talent communities.

Host internal mobility events.

Use online events for both external and internal hiring. Brazen events are a powerful tool for inviting existing employees to learn about interesting career advancement opportunities elsewhere in your organization. Why lose an employee to a competitor down the street when you could lose them to a department down the hall?

SCHEDULED CHAT

Scheduled chats let recruiters control when and how often they want to chat with candidates.

Don’t miss a qualified candidate. Give them options to chat with you at a specific date and time.

More options. More conversations.

Just like you, your candidates are busy and chatting immediately might not work. Give them options to chat at pre-scheduled times with your recruiters so you don’t miss a chance to chat with a really great candidate.

Integrate Brazen’s chat options with your career site or on individual job requisitions

Start conversations where it matters, before job seekers bounce from your site.

Give candidates three ways to engage with recruiters.

The embedded Brazen plugin offers candidates the option of live chat, scheduled chat or registering for an online event right from your job requisitions.
