Come on upstairs. You know you want to.
Delvinia’s first career open house has come and gone (on March 4), and we couldn’t be happier with how it went. More than 40 people came through our doors last night to meet our team and talk shop.
We sent out an email to our own contacts, but we publicised this event almost entirely through our social media networks on Facebook and Twitter. Word spread quickly. Even one of our clients had a phone call from a contact who’d heard the buzz, and wanted to know more about us.
To manage RSVPs we used EventBrite, a terrific (and FREE) tool for event management. We didn’t do anything terribly fancy – simply uploaded a banner and identified some unique fields for data capture and then embedded the widget on our Careers page (where you can still view our job desciptions, by the way). As a result, we were able to send reminders to the participants, and still connect with people who were unable to make the event at the last minute.
We’re still eager to meet user experience strategists, information architects and front-end developers. If this is you, you should get in touch with us!
