Symphony Talent launched new features that manage and automate virtual and in-person recruiting events. Called SmashFlyX Events, the product handles event activities during pre-registration, the event itself, through post-event follow up and hiring.
With hybrid work becoming mainstream and the pandemic’s fallout from still settling, employers need to evolve their thinking about events to include both the in-person and virtual worlds, Symphony Talent believes. To appeal to talent around the world, talent acquisition and HR professionals are putting more emphasis on recruitment marketing technology.
