Virtual Job Fair Platform
The event tools a virtual job fair runs on: registration, booths, meetings and reports
A virtual job fair needs five things: registration for candidates and employers, a booth for each employer, scheduled conversations between candidates and recruiters, chat and video to hold them, and reports afterward. Eventdex's pages describe a tool for each of these, written for the exhibitors and attendees of virtual and hybrid events.
This page lines those tools up against a job fair. Employers get the virtual booths the exhibitor pages describe, with staff, documents and business cards. Candidates book recruiter conversations through appointment scheduling and AI matching, and meet in video rooms. Eventdex's pages do not describe applicant tracking, resume parsing or job postings, so this page covers the event around the hiring, not the hiring system behind it. It is written for organizers deciding whether those event tools are enough for the fair they have in mind.

What to know before you use Eventdex for a virtual job fair
A tool for each part of the fair
Registration, booths, scheduled meetings, video and reports are each described on Eventdex's own pages, linked above.
More than one recruiter per booth
The virtual booth page says you can assign and manage multiple booth staff, so a team can share an employer booth.
Conversations are scheduled
Attendees request, reschedule or cancel appointments and set preferences, so conversations are arranged ahead of time.
Add an in-person day later
The same platform runs hybrid events with onsite check-in and badges, if part of the fair moves to a venue.
Set up and training included
Eventdex's pricing page promises full setup and on-demand training from the Eventdex team.
Not an applicant tracking system
Eventdex's pages do not describe applicant tracking, resume parsing or job postings. They describe lead export from virtual booths and CRM export on the matchmaking page; ask in a demo how candidate details reach your hiring system.

FAQ
Virtual Job Fair Platform: common questions
What does a virtual job fair need from a platform?
Registration for candidates and employers, a virtual booth for each employer, scheduled one-to-one conversations, chat and video to hold them, and reports on who took part. Eventdex describes a tool for each of these for virtual and hybrid events, which the modules above link to.
Does Eventdex have a job fair product?
No page describes one. Eventdex's matchmaking page lists job and hiring events, connecting recruiters with candidates, among the events it serves, and the site mentions a job fair in passing. The tools here are the ones it describes for exhibitors and attendees.
How do candidates meet recruiters?
Through appointments. Attendees set preferences, AI recommends matches and schedules meetings, and the meetings run by video. Attendees can request, reschedule or cancel an appointment, and several meetings can be held back to back from one video room without leaving it.
Can an employer staff its booth with several recruiters?
The virtual booth page says you can assign and manage multiple booth staff. Visitors connect with the booth one-on-one or in a group by audio, video and chat, and exhibitors can upload documents and business cards that visitors add to their briefcase.
Where does candidate data go after the fair?
Eventdex's pages describe lead export from virtual booths and, on the matchmaking page, attendee information that can be stored and exported to a CRM. They do not describe applicant tracking or resume parsing, so ask in a demo how that fits your hiring system.
Can we hold part of the job fair in person?
Yes. The same platform runs hybrid events, with live streaming, hybrid exhibitor booths, and onsite check-in and badge printing for the people in the room. Remote candidates keep the same booths and video meetings the virtual pages describe, so the fair is one event with two audiences.
