Still sending your recruiters to in-person job fairs? If your efforts begin and end there, you’re likely missing out on building connections with top talent.

Today, nine out of 10 employers prefer virtual interviews, according to InCruiter, though data from software company TechDoQuest shows that 51% of Gen Z job seekers would rather have in-person communication and form relationships with their recruiters. To further complicate the recipe of how employers should recruit today, data from Handshake, a job platform that connects college students with employers, found that 71% of students find virtual interviews to be less intimidating — particularly women and people of color.
