MedBio Virtual Career Expo to host virtual job fairs throughout 2011

LOUISVILLE, KY, October 19, 2010

As a recruiter, finding good quality candidates is never an easy task especially if you work in the medical industry. MedBio Virtual Career Expo, a southern Indiana based company, located just outside of Louisville will host a medical virtual job fair throughout 2011 with the first one being held on January 25-26-27 and others to follow in April, July, and October that will bring together biotechnology, hospitals, healthcare, pharmaceutical, medical device companies, and staffing/recruiting firms from across the United States. With emerging web 2.0 technology and a down economy, virtual job fairs have proven to be an overall cost effective strategy.

Virtual events are becoming a new reality in place of physical events as they reduce costs significantly and improve greater efficiencies to improve the bottom line. New virtual solutions enabled by the Virtual Experience Platform translate physical marketing activities into effective and engaging and virtual marketing experiences. The results are successful high-touch programs that don't require travel or reduced expectations thus achieving new standards for marketing ROI.

"We are anticipating several thousand medical professionals to attend our virtual medical job fair as we have several thousands that have already pre-registered. Recruiters and medical professionals will connect in several ways including live chat via text or webcam, private meeting rooms (screening of candidates), company informational sessions, and several lecture halls will be available for webcasts/video presentations. The hiring process can take forever sometimes, so by providing a virtual environment that will reduce the time frame by allowing recruiters to meet more potential candidates, review resumes, pre-screen candidates, and possibly schedule face-to-face interviews taking place within hours compared to traditional standards of several weeks or months. Several sponsorship packages are available to companies that wish to participate.

Entry level to executive level opportunities will be available in both clinical and non-clinical.

By partnering with a leading company that specializes in virtual environments for virtual career fairs, trade shows, expos, and company intranets, we are looking forward to making this event extremely successful and that makes us very happy." They have provided various types of virtual platforms for many leading pharmaceutical, hospitals, biotechnology and other medical related companies.

In this economy, every dollar is being stretched and even though healthcare continues to thrive companies within the medical industry still continue to take cost cutting measures. By streamlining the recruitment process and providing a more cost effective solution, employers will be able to measure their ROI in real time both during and after the career expo via metric reports. An on demand version will be available for approximately 90 days that will allow job seekers to apply for jobs, view webcasts, and download documents of available company information. Virtual job fairs reduce the amount of time away from the office, increases the number of candidates and shortens the hiring process significantly thus resulting in a lower cost per hire. Virtual career fairs are gaining in popularity due to the state of the economy and overall are a good investment for companies to consider.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, by 2014, over 3.6 million healthcare jobs will be available and the nursing shortage will increase to 1 million openings by the year 2020. Visit any hospital or biotechnology, medical device, or pharmaceutical company website and you will see the large amount of job vacancies, it is scary. Lyskowinski says, "with our virtual medical job fair we are hoping to bring down those numbers significantly anything that we can do to reduce the healthcare shortage we will do."
