Pre-screening applications, while labour-intensive, is crucial to the success of the hiring event model. A thorough review of resumes and applications benefits both candidates and employers: it ensures interviewees have the required skills and significantly enhances candidates’ chances of success.

Once pre-screening is complete, the lead agency partner sends lists of invited candidates to all partner agencies, categorized by the candidates’ registered agency. Agency partners, especially employment counselors, then schedule customized preparatory sessions for their clients to address role-specific requirements. For candidates not registered with an agency partner, the lead agency partner organizes these preparatory sessions.
