There will be a colored icon to tell you if there is little, some, or a lot of waiting for each stand.

Then, you can click on the company's logo you are interested in. You will see how many candidates are already there and your average waiting time. You will then be able to join a virtual line, possibly choose the recruiter you would like to meet, and wait for him/her to contact you when he/she is available.

The meetings will take place as if they were face-to-face... but with screens in between! When the recruiter is ready - and you too! - to virtually meet you, a video conversation will start. If you do not have a webcam, do not panic! You will be able to start an audio conversation with the recruiter.

There will be no limited number of meetings per person. You will then have the opportunity contact as many companies as possible in one evening!

You should upload your CV while creating your profile for this virtual event. The recruiter will then have direct access to it when the virtual meeting starts.

Do not hesitate to ask the recruiter his/her professional email address if you want to send your CV right after the call or contact him/her a little latter.

After the event:
How can I maximize my chances of being contacted again after the evening?

If we can give you a little piece of advice: contact the recruiter instead of waiting an answer!

If you feel that the meeting went especially well with a specific recruiter, do not hesitate to ask his/her professional email address to contact him/her after.

If you do not receive any an answer, you can send an email once again after a few days to prove your motivation.

A recruiter may sometimes ask you to register on the company's career site at the end of a call to facilitate the recruitment and selection process via their IT tool.

Many HR departments have their own information processing systems that allow them to manage the candidates according to their own criteria! Judging by the number of candidates who are recruited thanks to recruitment evenings, the effort is worth it.
