Career fair with a difference

Jobunication VR is the first virtual reality career fair to be launched on the market, which will be available around the clock.

The Frankfurt start-up Jobunication VR started organising traditional career fairs three years ago. Companies booked stands with the aim of inspiring students and young professionals. And the rest was the same: the fair was followed by personal discussions and a supporting programme consisting of lectures, keynotes and panel discussions. But in today's digital age, more is possible!

In the meantime, you can often see that companies have switched to online assessment in the application process. So why not simply create a platform that replaces the traditional trade fair? A "realistic" trade fair world that enables a direct approach, is permanently online and thus appeals to a young or adventurous target group in particular? The idea for Jobunication was born! Incidentally, the name is an acronym made up of the words "Job", "Uni" and "(Edu)cation".

24/7 online career fair - and 4 live events per year

The virtual world of Jobunication VR is set up like a realistic trade fair. The effort for visitors and companies is less than you might think: the technology is available to all visitors without the need to download any programmes or plug-ins. Visitors register at jobunication.onlineand you can log in to the virtual trade fair from 25 January 2018.

The VR trade fair is accessible 24/7, 365 days a year, and thus serves as a permanent information platform. Of course, it is not open every day, but there are live events. Exhibitors are online at one intensively advertised event per quarter - with as many employees as they like to interact directly with visitors.

Permanently flexible design of trade fair stands

The exhibition stands are customised to the exhibitor's corporate identity with a one-off set-up. In other words, various stand designs can be selected and customised with logos, images, videos, job advertisements and optional products. All content can be permanently changed and downloaded.

Simple communication without a price

Making contact could be easier for some people than in real life. One click on the avatar and you have the option to chat, call the avatar (without any external software or plugins) or exchange business cards. Applicants can even add their CV to the business card and send it to their interviewer with a simple click.

The whole thing is of course also practical if, for example, you have a cold or are unable to attend the fair due to time constraints. The fair can also be visited from anywhere.

Anyone who now thinks they have to go to the expense of buying the best VR equipment and afford an expensive account is completely wrong: you don't need VR glasses to use the platform and Jobunication VR is and remains free for applicants!
