How will the Virtual Recruiter Booth work?
Virtual booth sessions will last 45 minutes, and time slots will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. The format of your session is up to you, but we suggest having an economist or hiring manager talk about the work of economists at the organization, a recruiter speak on the hiring process, and then Q&A with the candidates.
All employers will also be featured on a Career Week employer information webpage and receive complimentary job postings on NABE’s career site, EconJobs.org, until December 31, 2024.
