Recruitment Events for a Changing Hiring Environment
The way educators discover career opportunities is changing. Candidates increasingly engage through digital platforms, professional networks, referrals, communities, recruitment events, and AI-powered search experiences.
For schools, recruitment is increasingly about visibility and reach: helping qualified educators discover your school, understand your opportunities, and choose to engage.
ISS events create more pathways for candidates to meet your team, experience your school story, and take the next step toward a role with your community.

Why Schools Join ISS Events
ISS events help schools move beyond a single job posting by creating more opportunities for candidates to learn about a school, ask questions, and connect with the people behind the roles.
- Support active hiring needs and hard-to-fill roles
- Build awareness before and during peak recruitment season
- Create a more personal connection with candidates
- Reach educators across different regions and career stages
- Strengthen your school profile and candidate pipeline over time
Use Events as Part of a Broader Recruitment Strategy
ISS events work best when they are connected to the rest of a school’s recruitment activity. Schools can combine iFairs® and EXPOs with ISS EDUrecruit® tools to increase visibility before the event, engage candidates during the event, and follow up afterward.
- Post open roles before the event so candidates can explore opportunities in advance
- Strengthen your school profile with details about your community, culture, programs, and benefits
- Use database access to identify and engage candidates before and after events
- Promote priority roles through website listings, social media, or featured email outreach
- Use both virtual and in-person events to support different hiring timelines and travel realities
Prepare for a Strong Event Experience
A strong recruitment event experience starts before the event. • Clarify hiring priorities and the roles you want to promote
- Update your school profile and event materials
- Prepare talking points about your school culture, benefits, location, and programs
- Assign recruiter roles for candidate conversations and follow-up
- Create a clear post-event communication plan for candidates you want to keep engaged
