| | Top-Consultant.com has selected iCongo Live, the leading developer of online events, virtual trade shows and job fair systems, to power a series of virtual careers fairs to complement the physical Consultancy Careers Fair staged in London each October.
The inaugural virtual job fair will take place on 20 June 2008, with 30 consulting organisations already committed to | |
|
| | exhibiting – including the likes of Accenture and IBM.
iCongo Live's platform provides recruiters and job boards with a suite of tools to easily create and manage Internet-based online events, virtual trade shows and conferences. The technology allows Top-Consultant to break down physical barriers in finding prospective candidates to meet | |
|
| | consulting firms' hiring needs.
"A major factor in the decision to launch a virtual offering was the desire to make it easier for consultants seeking new positions to attend our fairs," said Top-Consultant's co-founding director Tony Restell. "Logging into a virtual fair for an hour is much less intrusive than having to take a day off to attend an event in person. | |
|
| | Going virtual also addresses one of the biggest concerns that candidates have about attending a physical fair – that they'll be spotted at the fair by their current employer."
"We are very proud to power the series of virtual job fairs for Top-Consultant.com," said Yves Daoust, executive vice president of iCongo Live. "iCongo Live's virtual trade show platform provides a | |
|
| | compelling example of doing business differently by using the power of a virtual event. With our market leading technology, Top-Consultant provides its attendees and exhibitors with a first of its kind virtual event, enhancing a current line of successful physical events."
