While in person events are still partially "on pause"...

Since the beginning of the pandemic, virtual job fairs have become quite fashionable. RDÉE TNL is working hard to allow as many Francophone candidates as possible to find a job in our province and for employers to fill their labour needs using these platforms.

There is a process behind these events to ensure their success:

First, we contact employers to convince them to let us post their job opportunities. Then, we set up a virtual booth that represents us well despite our physical absence, we publish the job offers on the event's website and, during the fair, we answer questions by chat, we verify the English proficiency of job seekers, and we select the best resumes to put these candidates in contact with employers.

The added value of virtual job fairs for candidates is the possibility to discuss a position with an audience that is not generally accessible, i.e. employers, and to acquire information quickly and apply directly. For employers, it is the easy access to a pool of prescreened candidates.

Furthermore, it is an opportunity to have access to free conferences on a single platform while being in the comfort and security of one's home, which is a clear advantage during a pandemic.
