MONTE PLEASANT, SC – (BUSINESS WIRE) – In-person recruitment events can be canceled, but we cannot stop connecting talented candidates and employers, especially in the healthcare sector. That’s why the South Carolina Hospital Association (SCHA) partnered with Tallo to host a virtual job fair “Hiring for Heroes” this week through the South Carolina Future Makers initiative. On Wednesday, February 24, 2021, more than a dozen hospitals and health organizations across South Carolina will participate in a virtual job fair hosted at Ping by Tallo to connect with job seekers from across the country. .
Job seekers can attend the SCHA Hiring for Heroes virtual job fair for free and will have the chance to connect with a wide range of hospitals and healthcare organizations, including MUSC Health, McLeod Health, Roper St. Francis Healthcare and Tidelands Health. Collectively, participating employers will be hiring for hundreds of open positions. There are more than 1.3 million users on the Tallo platform, and more than 33,000 users across the state of South Carolina have reported that they are interested in a career in the health sciences.
“SCHA is excited to work with state partners and Tallo to host this virtual job fair. The ‘Hiring for Heroes’ event will be a tool for member hospitals to use to showcase career opportunities in hospitals and to immediately connect with qualified candidates, ”said Lara Hewitt, vice president, Workforce & Member Engagement, SCHA. “This is how collaboration between state partners and state health systems can be: recruiting the best people through the latest technology for incredible careers in our healthcare facilities.”
Job seekers and healthcare employers will connect via the web-based application Ping by Tallo. To begin, participants will answer a few short questions about their interests and qualifications and then will be presented with a list of possible “matches”. Job seekers 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 using the chat functionality In real time. Since the launch of Ping in mid-2020, there have been more than 23,000 conversations initiated between students and job seekers connecting with colleges and businesses on Ping. More than 7,600 talented participants and more than 160 colleges, companies and organizations participated in the events across the country.
“We cannot allow cancellations of face-to-face events to hinder job seekers from connecting to healthcare jobs that need to be filled so desperately,” said Casey Welch, CEO and cofounder of Tallo. “Health workers were at the forefront of the COVID-19 pandemic and we have a community of young skilled workers who are ready to step up and help.”
