For each session you're registered for, you can download a booth QR code to streamline student check-in and accurately track attendance.
These QR codes ensure a seamless candidate experience, even during peak times or in areas with limited connectivity. You can download them as a ready-to-print PDF or as images for use in posters or presentations
Key benefits of using booth QR codes:
- Check candidates in with ease: Create a seamless candidate experience at your booth and avoid losing out on interested and qualified talent because your line is too long.
- Offline mode for QR code check-in: Even if your booth doesn't have reliable wifi, check-in information will be stored locally until you're reconnected.
- Capture attendee info without wifi: Ensure you capture candidate information, even with limited or no wifi connectivity, to avoid missing valuable connections.
