The CF+ event dashboard delivers high-value analytics to measure general and specific performance factors. You can use this data to assess ROI, guide follow-up, and drive program planning.

You’ll land on the “Analytics” tab of the event dashboard but the “Meetings” and “Reports” tabs offer useful fair data as well.

You have multiple data points at your fingertips – for both Students/Candidates and Recruiters! Switching from one to the other is easy, simply click the drop-down list next to “Viewing Analytics For: _____”.

Let’s walk through one of the nine charts under “Students/Candidates Analytics” data fields, Company Details by Day.

Scroll down the “Analytics” page to the second row of charts and Company Details by Day appears on the left of your screen. This graph shows which days candidates viewed company details at your event, which can inform future marketing campaigns.

If views increased after a big marketing push, that’s probably a good strategy going forward. Or, if there was consistently more activity closer to event day, perhaps promoting sooner will encourage more candidates to browse the event sooner.

If you have questions as you explore the “Analytics” page, support@careerfairplus.com has answers.

Let's switch to the "Meetings" tab to compare this statistic with the Meetings Booked by Day.

Scroll down the “Meetings” tab to the first chart, Meetings Booked by Day. This will only start tracking data once the booking window opens. If you left your booking window open during the event, you can count the exact number of meetings scheduled because of that decision.

The number of total Meetings, 906 in this example, confirms the total number of candidate-recruiter connections during your event.

Further down on this page, you can see a full breakdown of Meetings Booked By Employer. Here, you can compare numbers of Meetings booked across different employers.

This number, 74% in the image above, indicates the percent of Meetings booked given the number of available time slots on recruiters schedules. Seeing a high number is exciting, but don't worry - a low rate can actually be deceiving.

This fill rate doesn’t necessarily correlate with the total number of Meetings.

For example, let’s say an employer creates 10 schedules, each schedule has 20 Meeting time slots, and 50 candidates book Meetings. Well, meeting 50 different candidates is great for that employer, even though 50 as a percentage of 200 timeslots is only a 25% fill rate.

So, we recommend looking at the Total Meetings and Meetings Booked by Employer before deciding thumbs up or down on your overall fill rate.

Many event hosts ask if they can export all the candidate information at the end of the fair. The answer is yes!

You can download a full list of candidates names, contact information, profile, and links to their resumes (if provided) from your dashboard

When unexpected delays, a change of heart, scheduling surprises, or anything else prevent a candidate from attending scheduled meetings, you might want to follow-up individually. You can see the total number of No Shows in the row of numbers at the top of the “Meetings” tab but you’ll need to navigate to the “Reports” tab to print a list of who missed their meetings.

Follow the same steps used to print the "Candidates" report then filter the spreadsheet by the “1-on-1 Meeting No Shows” column to separate these candidates and their contact information.

You can view exactly which meetings each candidate missed with a few more clicks:

CF+ simplifies gathering post-event feedback with two options: copying emails from the Recruiters Report, the Candidates Report (see above) or embedding a survey link in the CF+ app for candidates.

And speaking of feedback, we’re always hungry for yours and your participants’ thoughts about the CF+ platform.
