Episode 84 –  How to Embrace the Evolution of Recruiting with Steve Edwards. 

Steve Edwards is the founder of Premier Virtual, an innovative company helping businesses host successful virtual hiring events. In this new hiring landscape, virtual hiring events are an essential component of any recruitment effort, and Steve and his team are committed to help usher in this new era. After 4 years of jumping out of planes in the Army, Steve entered the world of job fairs and quickly noticed an emerging trend. In person hiring events were getting less and less engagement. WIth Millennials and GenZers moving towards remote work and distributed teams becoming more prevalent, the hiring process was transitioning from in-person to virtual. With decreased engagement, companies were struggling to hire and retain quality talent. This inspired Steve to create a solution and he did just that with Premier Virtual.  When the pandemic hit, the need for virtual job fairs skyrocketed and has helped Premier VIrtual move quickly to a leader within the industry. During its first 10 months, the Premier Virtual platform helped more than 35,000 companies connect with over 350,000 job seekers and has earned prestigious awards including 2021 Best Companies to work for in Florida. Premier Virtual also has licensing agreements over 150 Workforce Development across the Country. The US Army and several National Guard units use the Premier Virtual platform.
