How does Virtual Placement work?

It takes an average of 79+ days to fill a vacant position in our field. Our goal is to help employers streamline their process so that you don’t miss out on hiring top talent. We do this by first bringing together a large pool of applicants and a high volume of employees in a dedicated and concentrated window of time. We then offer the opportunity for intentional recruiting to bridge the gap between posting a position and offering interviews. Recruiting (via the Career Fair) provides the opportunity for employers and job seekers to assess alignment of mission/vision, values, skillset, and much more before getting into rounds of interviews.

November 4th-8th: Interview Week

• Employers who agree to participate in TPE Virtual Placement agree to exercise a timely interview process, to the best of their ability.
