ScanFactor vs Virtual Open House

ScanFactor is paperless software for managing in-person career fairs, with features for attendees, recruiters and event hosts. Attendees can create QR profiles that share information such as a resume, LinkedIn profile and portfolio website. They can open their code in a phone browser without downloading an app and view the companies at an event. Recruiters use a digital dashboard to review candidate information, favorite candidates, add notes, filter candidates and see their connections. Interaction data can be exported as CSV for an applicant tracking system or to share with colleagues. Hosts can manage attendee preparation and check-in, encourage recruiter engagement and view real-time event insights. They also get event analytics, visualizations and raw data about activity and interactions. The Attendee and Recruiters plans each cost nothing. Hosts are charged priced on request, billed per company attending regardless of recruiter usage; the host plan includes unlimited event scans and student signups, advanced analytics, customizable attendee profiles and sales support. ScanFactor is available on Android, iOS and the web.

Virtual Open House is a web-based recruiting platform for real-time events where recruiters engage pre-qualified candidates in one-to-one chats. It supports open houses, college, diversity and military events, recruiter office hours, internal meetups and interview preparation. Organizations can create mobile-friendly landing pages tailored to recruiting initiatives. Registration may schedule candidates according to screener answers and can include in-person or interview scheduling. Branded confirmations, reminder emails and SMS messages support communication. Recruiters can view or download registration data, take notes, set company-specific statuses and transfer chats to other logged-in recruiters. Candidate records, including chat logs, notes, resumes and statuses, can pass to an ATS or CRM. Analytics cover landing-page visitors, conversion rates, trends, attendance, chat counts and chat duration. The maker describes CareerBuilder.com promotion, custom sourcing help, project-manager onboarding, mock-event training and live technical support during events. Pricing is on request.
