vFairs Launches Feature-Rich JOB BOARD to Eliminate All Manual Efforts

Leave a comment


We identified this problem time and time again with the several customers who conduct virtual job fairs for us and with our job board product, we aim to lay these obstacles to rest – once and for all.


CARROLLTON, Texas (PRWEB)

After leading the market as a top-rated online event platform, vFairs continues innovating to address pain points in the recruitment sector. vFairs has revamped its Job Board offering with a new look and feel, and brand new feature set designed to solve issues such as data entry that universities have historically struggled with.

When implementing a job board, universities and colleges have to assign resources to either chase down employers to keep updating their jobs or manually copy over the latest job listings and expire closed ones. For a number of organizations, this challenge becomes an obstacle in adopting job boards. However, vFairs aims to solve this with a unique solution.

With every job board instance, vFairs also offers a scraping service to automatically harvest job postings from career sites of partner employers and publish them on the job board. Universities simply indicate who their affiliated employers are or share consolidated Excel sheets, and vFairs takes care of the rest. This eliminates the typical hassle university representatives face and their work is reduced to minimal moderation tasks.

Here are other highlights of the vFairs job board platform:


  • The Job Board remains live throughout the year and isn’t dependent on the core product (virtual job fairs). This expands opportunities for both employers and candidates to recruit and apply for positions all-round the year.

  • Job seekers can have access to job descriptions, save jobs, and apply with just a few clicks. They can also choose to set up alerts for upcoming jobs, eliminating their chance to miss out on an opportunity.

  • On the other hand, employers can advertise vacancies and access applications, not just for their posted jobs, but also for the entire resume database present on the job board.

“We understand that Career Services focus on facilitating the connecting between top employers and their student base but don’t have the liberty to spare resources to drive a technological product and operations. We identified this problem time and time again with the several customers who conduct virtual job fairs for us and with our job board product, we aim to lay these obstacles to rest – once and for all,” says Muhammad Younas, CEO at vFairs.

About vFairs: vFairs is a top-rated Virtual Event Platform that enables and equips organizers to make strong, valuable connections with their target audience. Ensuring their virtual event delivers the results that customers desire, vFairs has been succeeding in providing an alternative to physical events such as job fairs and career fairs to leading companies and universities like Nestle, T-Mobile, American Public University System (APUS), Rasmussen College, Tulare County Office of Education (TCOE), University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) and many others.

Leave a comment


“Our goal is to offer great resources and simple solutions for families to make mealtime more nutritious and less stressful,” said Kathy Higgins, chief executive officer at the Alliance for a Healthier Generation.


PORTLAND, Ore. (PRWEB)

Today, the Alliance for a Healthier Generation (Healthier Generation) and Kohl’s announced the launch of Eating Healthy at Home – a new campaign and suite of resources to help families take small steps to eat healthier on any budget. Starting today, families will have access to Eating Healthy at Home resources to help set healthy goals for the new year and create healthier habits that can last a lifetime.

Eating Healthy at Home is designed for busy parents and caregivers who want what is best for their families. Designed to relieve stress and boost family well-being, Eating Healthy at Home aims to ensure that the healthy choice is the easy choice for families. Resources, available at no cost at HealthierGeneration.org/eatinghealthyathome, include seasonal recipes, shopping guides, activities and more to encourage healthier eating when at home and at school. All resources are available both in English and in Spanish.

“On any given day, parents and caregivers are pressed for time and resources are needed to make sure that family meals are healthy meals,” said Kathy Higgins, chief executive officer at the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. “Our goal is to offer great resources and simple solutions for families to make mealtime more nutritious and less stressful.”

Data shows that youth with access to nutritious foods, regular physical activity opportunities and supportive environments for social-emotional health are more likely to see improved health and learning development. Eating Healthy at Home is just one component of the Kohl’s Healthy at Home family wellness initiative that encourages families to prioritize a healthy lifestyle in their homes and wherever their children live, learn and play.

In 2019, Kohl’s committed $2 million to Healthier Generation to launch Kohl’s Healthy at Home and provide families across the country with easy-to-use tools and resources that promote healthier lifestyles for children and youth. Kohl’s donation is made possible through the company’s philanthropic program, Kohl’s Cares, which sells children’s books and toys and donates 100 percent of the net profit from the sale of these items to support the health and wellness of families in our communities.

New and updated resources for nutrition, physical activity and social-emotional health are scheduled to be announced in late 2020 and throughout 2021 on kohlshealthyathome.org. To learn more and access Eating Healthy at Home resources, visit HealthierGeneration.org/eatinghealthyathome.

“Preparing the lesser tarsometatarsal joint for fusion and placing fixation poses difficulties due to the challenging bony anatomy and soft tissue. The InCore TMT is an exciting addition to the successful InCore Lapidus system, addressing the need to provide the necessary distraction for visualization and joint preparation, in addition to controlled compression at the fusion site. This new system applies all the advantages of InCore Lapidus including the solid intraosseous fixation construct aimed to minimize hardware prominence. We look forward to seeing this become another important solution to this common but challenging procedure,” said Greg Denham, Director of Product Development, Early Intervention for Nextremity Solutions.

Building on the success of the three-part construct design of the InCore Lapidus System for first TMT fusion, the InCore TMT System focuses on second and third TMT fusion, more commonly known as a Lisfranc joint fusion. Lisfranc fusions are intended to help provide stability to the midfoot and restore the anatomical arch of the patient’s foot.

Ryan Schlotterback, Chief Technology Officer for Nextremity Solutions said, “The team has done an excellent job of expanding our InCore technology platform and building on the clinical success of InCore Lapidus. We’re excited about introducing InCore TMT to the market, as well as future variations in the pipeline. The InCore TMT product launch will be one of many to come in 2020. We remain focused on continuing to work with our surgeon and industry partners to bring exciting, Revenue Ready® solutions to the market.”

The Nextremity Solutions InCore TMT System is indicated as a three-part construct intended for internal fixation for Lesser Tarsometatarsal Joint Arthrodesis (also known as Lisfranc Joint Fusion or 2nd/3rd Tarsometatarsal Fusion).
