I remember one career fair where we used a game booth to attract candidates β€” think of it as recruitment with a side of fun. It not only drew people in but also made for some memorable conversations. Just make sure to have a follow-up plan, or else it’s like tossing confetti at a party and hoping it stays! @RecruitingInnovations.
