Shaker Recruitment Advertising & Communications Produces Allstate Virtual Career Fair

In collaboration with Shaker Recruitment Advertising & Communications, Allstate is hosting a virtual career fair on Tuesday, June 15th from 10am – 4pm CST. The fair is a one-day, live event that takes place online, replacing the traditional brick-and-mortar career fair.

(PRWEB) June 5, 2010 — Recruiters and job seekers will be closer than ever in this easily navigable, realistic 3-D virtual environment. Booths will be staffed with Allstate recruiters who will chat live with job seekers publicly and privately about Exclusive Agent and Personal Financial Representative opportunities available with Allstate. Candidates interested in becoming an Exclusive Agent will learn about exceptional entrepreneurial opportunities to be their own boss and run their own business, and candidates for Personal Finance will learn how to spend less time prospecting and more time selling financial services products to existing customers. Candidates will also have a chance to speak directly to Sales Leaders, as well as learn about possible financing opportunities. Additionally, they can submit resumes, attend auditorium presentations, and connect with other job seekers and recruiters in the virtual networking lounge. Even more attractive, it’s free to register and attend.

In June 2008, Shaker began providing companies with a complete virtual career fair package - from development, training and support, to guidance, event marketing and post-event reporting - to attract talent by hosting their own virtual career fairs. “Shaker is excited about the continued opportunity to host Allstate’s Virtual Career Fairs,” says Tina Krater, Director or Sales at Shaker Recruitment Consultants. “Together, we’ve built 3-D environments that allow for a unique candidate experience and direct insight into Allstate’s entrepreneurial opportunities.”

“Last year, Allstate partnered with Shaker to host their very first exclusive, national virtual career fair and we experienced great success. It allowed Allstate to make use of the latest technology to find the right people for our Agent and Financial Representative opportunities,” said Laura Stojkovic, Senior HR Consultant and project lead from Allstate Insurance Corporation. “We’re excited to be hosting our 4th event this June 15th, as this has been a innovative and convenient way for our candidates and recruiters to come together and have a live chat, share information, or set up a phone interview.”
