- Safe & Secure: Companies can conduct recruitment as they want irrespective of the threat of fatal diseases.

- A Smooth, Hassle-free Process: Virtual recruitment saves everyone from making physical arrangements, complicated paperwork, and even the hours wasted on commute.

## Job Fair in Metaverse – How Does it Work?
Organizing a single recruitment drive or an expansive job fair in the metaverse is not as complicated as it sounds. In fact, LG Innotek, a South Korean company organized a job fair in 2021 where candidates could gain information about different companies and also give interviews.

## Step 1: Attracting Talent Profiles
The first step is for recruiters to conduct aggressive marketing and attract the right candidate profiles to the drives.  

‍

## Step 2: Building the Virtual Recruitment Space
The next step will require the organizing company to develop a virtual recruitment space. A great example of this can be seen in the Metaverse job fair hosted by Hirect. The recruitment platform partnered with Venu – a virtual event platform, to create the recruitment drive space.

## Step 3: Recruiters Using the Right Technology
The year 2021 saw a massive rise in sales of Oculus VR Headsets, which even surpassed the sales of Microsoft’s Xbox. Though this is an important stat, companies need to adapt hi-tech devices and systems to ensure a seamless Metaverse recruitment process.

‍

## Step 4: Training & Onboarding Employees in the Metaverse
Once the candidate is successfully recruited, recruiters need to take the next step of onboarding and training them in an untact setup. A few companies like Hyundai Mobis, Kotra, and Naver are already ahead in the race.

## How Will Recruitment in the Metaverse Benefit Candidates?
Roaming around in a virtual space that looks just like the real office in the form of avatars that represent your personality is definitely fun.

But more than that, it provides a sense of belonging to the employees in a remote work environment.  

- 1:1 conversation among colleagues

- A secure process of updating a CV to a Blockchain network
- Learn more about and connect with companies at job fairs

- Organic interaction with teammates in a remote setup builds a sense of community and helps the candidates learn more about the company environment
‍

## It Doesn't Come Without Obstacles – Metaverse Adoption Challenges
Metaverse is only at the initial stage and many companies will transfer their hiring processes to the virtual space in the near future.

However, some challenges are still unresolved. These include:

- Lack of access to AR/VR hardware
- Reluctance of candidates to use the virtual setup
- Companies are skeptical about using the MR space
This makes hiring in the metaverse a far-fetched thought, at least as of now.
