Digital innovation: more than just a job fair
During a time when digital technologies are reshaping working life, the Chilean event agency MIND took on the challenge of creating an extraordinary virtual event for its client Adalid.
Solution used: rooomEvents & rooomSpaces
The rooomEvents platform in combination with rooomSpaces offered a dynamic and user-friendly environment that went far beyond the boundaries of conventional online job fairs. Here, companies could not only present job vacancies, but also bring their corporate culture and values to life in interactive virtual spaces.
Innovative solutions for new challenges
The solution to this challenge from Adalid was found in the rooom solutions rooomEvents and rooomSpaces. They offered:
- Interactive booths: Here, companies presented themselves in unique virtual spaces and encouraged interaction and networking.
- Live streams in 3D: These drew participants into an immersive experience that captured their attention.
- Personalized Virtual Spaces: These rooms hosted intensive discussions in small groups, ideal for deeper insights into career opportunities.
- Voice chat function: A vibrant communication layer that enriched the exchange on the platform.
A stage for students
