Tips for exhibitors
Before the fair
During the fair
IDENTIFY YOUR COMPANY’S NEEDS
The more you know the job openings or general labor needs of your company, the more you will know if the person you are talking to has an interesting profile = Time saving / less of unnecessary discussions
ATTRACT CANDIDATES TO YOU!
Inform candidates of your presence through your website, your e-mail signatures, an e-mail to your database … Make appointments on site if you have applications in progress!
Preview a Twitter hashtag for the day of the event and announce your attendance the week before.
VALORIZE YOUR EMPLOYER BRAND IMAGE
Establish a plan of action for your day to set up the booth and make shine your brand image. To avoid: Text too small and / or too abundant – Do not use the right words – Too many images – Images of bad qualities – Damaged posters
BRING THE NECESSARY MATERIAL
Do not forget to bring the necessary material to set-up your booth (Business cards, company presentation documents, job descriptions, employment forms … Pens, broaches, notebook, scissors, adhesive tapes, Usb key, computer, sockets …)
CREATE A WELCOMING SPACE
Do not neglect any time of the day!
Smile! Be proactive, concrete, clear and patient! To avoid: The obstacles between you and the visitors (table or counter), personal phone conversations in the booth, read or eat in front of visitors
BE EFFECTIVE IN YOUR SELECTION
Learn to be concise and prepare your questions in order to quickly target the candidate’s profile in front of you. Quickly study his approach (gesture, gait, stress level, handshake) and his speech (good morning, his presentation, his way of showing interest …).
SET UP A RATING SYSTEM
Provide a common annotation system for all team members to quickly sort the resumes after the event. Example: A letter code and number system will allow you to identify the position corresponding to the profile and an evaluation of your first interview with the candidate (Position A – Evaluation 2 = A2).
Others instructions
- Neither the guest nor his guests will be allowed to bring food or drinks of any kind to the Congress Center without the express written permission of one of its representatives.
- Do not distribute promotional items, samples, souvenirs or conduct surveys / questionnaires / solicitation in the fair aisles in order not to obstruct the passage. Please do so only at your booth.
- Please let us know of any initiatives you may have regarding the attraction of visitors, in order to avoid inconvenience during the fair.
- Beware of theft! Avoid highlighting your personal belongings (phone, wallet, tablet)
