Run the event. Don't let it run you.

Testing days, info sessions, outreach apps — every type of recruiting event your agency runs, with the logistics handled so your recruiters can focus on candidates.

Most of the time spent on a recruiting event happens before and after it.

A testing day. An info session. A career fair. Each one is a recruiter's chance to meet candidates face to face. But each one also turns into a week of registration tracking before, manual follow-up after, and a spreadsheet of names that may or may not get worked. Most of that surrounding work isn't recruiting — it's logistics. RecruitApp.ai handles the logistics so your recruiters spend their time on the candidates.

Pass/fail testing. Retest rules tracked automatically.

Testing days are the hiring gateway in public safety. Written exam, physical agility, group interview — these can run as one combined event or be split into separate events across weeks, however your agency structures it. Each event carries one pass/fail outcome.

A PAT failure might trigger a 90-day retest window. A polygraph failure, six months. RecruitApp.ai tracks the retest math automatically — so when a candidate is eligible to try again, they're invited back without anyone having to remember.

  • One event, one disposition — your structure. Some agencies run a single "prospect day" covering written, PAT, and interview together. Others split each into its own event across weeks. Every event carries one pass/fail outcome.
  • Failure reasons drive the retest math. Pick the reason from your agency's list when you record the disposition — the system applies the right retest window automatically.
  • Time-limited failures, automatically enforced. Re-registration is blocked until the retest window opens. When it does — or when you approve a restart — the system sends the invitation.
  • Public or private registration. Open public testing days anyone can register for, or private events with candidates assigned by recruiters — same machinery, different audience.
  • Self-reschedule controls. Let candidates reschedule themselves within rules your admins set, or require recruiter approval. Set the policy once; the system enforces it.

Run information events at any point in the process.

An info session before someone applies. A webinar to prep candidates who just passed the written test. An open house for laterals you want to recruit. A practice PAT for candidates getting ready for the real one. Some agencies use these as first-touch events. Others use them mid-funnel — between hiring steps, or after a pass to keep momentum.

RecruitApp.ai treats every information event the same way: customize the name, type, and location, set it public or invite-only, run it in person or virtually. The recruiter decides who to invite, when to invite them, and how to follow up.

  • Configure any event format. Name, type, location — all yours. "Info Session for Laterals," "Pre-PAT Webinar," "Academy Open House" — whatever your agency calls it.
  • In-person or virtual. Native Zoom integration. Magic-link attendance tracking works with any other virtual platform you already use.
  • Public or invite-only. Open registration anyone can find, or private events with recruiter-controlled invites.
  • Build invite lists by filter or by hand. Send to everyone who passed the written. Send to every contact tagged "lateral." Send to the three people you met at last week's career fair.

Turn missed events into opportunities.

When a prospect confirms for a hiring event and doesn't show, it's easy to chalk it up as a loss. But people miss events for ordinary reasons — a shift change, childcare, a flat tire. Most are still interested. Most want a second chance.

RecruitApp.ai surfaces every missed-event prospect in a re-engagement queue. The recruiter sees who didn't show, opens the conversation, and re-books them onto the next event in one move.

Because re-engagement is recruiting work — every bit as much as bringing in a new prospect — the system tracks it. Every re-booking earns the recruiter points on a leaderboard, alongside contacts converted to prospects and new prospects generated. There's a public leaderboard where the team can see how everyone stacks up, and an admin leaderboard with deeper operational metrics for management.

  • Re-engagement queue. Every missed-event prospect surfaces in a clear queue — no spreadsheet review, no hunting through emails.
  • One-move re-booking. Reach out and re-book the prospect onto the next event without leaving the queue.
  • Public recruiter leaderboard. Three ways a recruiter's work shows up: prospects generated, contacts converted, and re-engagements. The whole team sees where they stand.
  • Admin leaderboard with deeper metrics. Management sees everything the public board shows, plus operational activity — confirmation calls, welcome calls, the full conversion funnel.

Use the right app for the audience.

You go to where the candidates already are: a university career fair, a community event, a military base transition day, a town hall. Every venue is different. The conversation with a college senior isn't the conversation with someone coming off active duty, and the data worth collecting from each isn't the same either.

RecruitApp.ai lets recruiters build a purpose-fit intake app for every outreach event. Pick the fields, brand the page, and decide how candidates sign in: scan a QR or tap a link on their own phone, or step up to a tablet or laptop you've set out as a sign-in kiosk. Either way, the candidate enters their own information — your agency, your venue, your choice.

  • Configurable intake per app. Pick the fields you want to collect for each venue — eligibility date, position interest, military service, college major, anything your agency tracks. Different apps for different audiences.
  • Public or private deployment. Public apps share via link or QR code, so candidates register from their own phones. Private apps run as a sign-in kiosk on a tablet or laptop at your table — candidates still enter their own information; the app just isn't publicly listed.
  • Capture, lookup, and walk-in handling on-site. At the event, the recruiter can also look up existing contacts, handle walk-ins from people who already know the agency, and check their schedule for follow-ups — all in the same app.
  • Attribution and follow-through. Every contact captured is tagged to the event AND the recruiter. Contacts land in your pipeline; when they convert to prospects, the credit follows.

Built into every event you run.

Testing days, info sessions, outreach apps — different operations, one shared foundation. The work that surrounds every event — registration, reminders, replies, attendance, no-show follow-up, reports to command — happens automatically. No campaigns to configure. Your recruiters focus on the candidates.

Branded registration on your website.

Every event has a registration page in your agency's colors, logo, language, and photos. Embed those pages directly into your site with a configurable JavaScript widget, or use the native WordPress plugin to bring RecruitApp's front-facing flows fully inside your site. Prospects and contacts never leave your website.

Automatic reminders, replies, and rescheduling.

Registration confirmations and pre-event reminders go out by email and SMS on their own. No campaigns to set up, no schedules to remember. Each message is sent at the moment that recipient is most likely to open it, individually. When candidates reply — to confirm, reschedule, or say they can't make it — the SMS thread walks them through it. Recruiters only step in when a human is needed.

Automatic attendance, tracking, and reports to command.

For in-person events, the recruiter checks people in from the roster. For virtual events on Zoom or any other provider, magic-link attendance is captured automatically. After the event, no-shows get an automatic message and a follow-up survey — questions configurable by admin. Command and admin staff can subscribe to event reports, so they stay informed without having to ask.
