Available add-ons include: -- Employer -- job seeker chat opportunity. The Virtual Career Event goes live, allowing employers and job seekers to interact in real-time. -- Employer videos. The employer has the opportunity to enhance the experience for potential candidates through a company profile video. -- Sponsorships/banner advertisements. An opportunity for media companies to offer premium banners and sponsorships.
