MONTE PLEASANT, SC – (BUSINESS WIRE) – As South Carolina’s economy recovers amid the continuing need for social detachment, it is vital that employers, educational institutions, job seekers and students find new ways to connect and share opportunities. With reduced job fairs and recruitment events, a South Carolina company is creating new opportunities for these valuable connections. Tallo, a digital platform that connects talent with opportunities, is presenting its new web-based application for South Carolina with a series of university and professional fair events. The new application, Ping by Tallo, allows higher education institutions and employers to host or participate in virtual events and relate to interested and qualified students and job seekers.
Ping is completely free for students and job seekers. To start, all they need to do is answer a few short questions about their interests and qualifications, and then they will be presented with a list of possible “pairs” of schools or employers attending the event. Talent and recruiters can evaluate their unique match scores (which are on a scale of 1 to 100, with higher scores indicating a better fit) and decide whether they want to contact you to start a conversation.
This month, Tallo and SC Future Makers will host three Ping events in conjunction with groups from across the state, with special opportunities for South Carolina students and job seekers. State partners include the South Carolina Department of Commerce, the South Carolina Competitiveness Council, the South Carolina Department of Education, the South Carolina Technical College System, and several other key players in the development of the labor force. job. This SC Future Makers initiative has introduced more than 100,000 students and job seekers to Tallo, South Carolina.
On November 10, the College Application Month Closing Fair, sponsored by Ping by Tallo and made possible by the SC Higher Education Commission through SC CAN GO, will allow students from across South Carolina to connect with around 20 local colleges and universities, including College of Charleston, Winthrop University and Horry-Georgetown Technical College. As a special incentive for students, many of the participating schools are waiving registration fees for event participants.
On November 17, Ping by Tallo will host the South Carolina Virtual Healthcare job fair, together with SC Future Makers, SC Works, South Carolina DOC and the Governing Councils for Santee Lynches, Pee Dee Regional and Waccamaw Regional. Healthcare organizations in 13 counties, including McLeod Health, Tidelands Health and Conway Medical Center, are looking to connect with qualified candidates to meet immediate needs.
On November 19, Ping by Tallo will host a fair of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) that will include more than 20 HBCUs from across the country and seven from South Carolina. Claflin University will be one of the schools in South Carolina to attend the event.
Ping by Tallo has enjoyed substantial success with recent events at a time when many other college recruiting events were canceled or postponed. In the past few months, there have been over 13,000 conversations initiated between students / job seekers and colleges / companies on Ping. More than 3,500 talented participants and more than 100 colleges, companies and organizations attended events across the country.
