Network with Service leavers via the online chat facility

Category: Recruitment Publish date: 10/03/2015

The CTP have a Live Chat facility for employers who have an Employer Focus page on the CTP website. The Live Chat is an event which is based online and allows you to have one-to-one text-based conversations with Service leavers. These events are offered to employers who have particular recruitment drives or a large volume of opportunities.

Prior to the event, the CTP will deliver training to your staff who will be taking part so that they are familiar with the software.

During the event, the CTP Key Account Team is available for technical support and to help employers respond to Service leavers’ questions, if necessary.

What are the Key Benefits of Live Chats?

• Promotion of current opportunities (vacancies or Civilian Work Attachments).
• The opportunity to engage with Service leavers and talk about how their skills can fit your opportunities. 
• Raising awareness of your employer brand to Service leavers.
• A two hour event that be conducted in one slot or split in to two to offer flexibility to your staff and to Service leavers. 
• No travel is required – your staff can be based at their desks; all they will need is internet access.
• You will receive full transcripts of the conversations so you can build an understanding of the kinds of information Service leavers are interested in, which will inform your engagement with them at other events and through your job postings.

“Live Chats are an excellent way to have a detailed discussion about your company and your roles with services leavers. This service gives you the unique opportunity to have discussions on a one to one basis and in a nice relaxed atmosphere. Having presented at a few military events, I have found that the services leavers are a lot more relaxed and open about the questions they ask when using the live chat platform”.
