What Are Virtual Hiring Events?

Quick summary

Virtual hiring events are online recruiting events where employers interview many job seekers in a short period. They're like an online version of a job fair or open house. Each conversation happens through video, phone, or chat rather than in person.

FAQs

Question: Can I check if I'm signed up for a virtual hiring event?

Answer: Maybe. If the event is on Indeed, you'll find it in the Interviews tab in your account. You should also receive a confirmation email. If you registered on the employer's website, you won't be able to track the event on Indeed.

Question: Can I share my resume with the employer during a virtual interview?

Answer: Maybe. If the interview is on Indeed, you may be able to share documents, such as your resume, using the chat feature. If this option is not available, follow the employer's instructions to share your documents.
