Paramount to Bocconi has been the all-around support it has received from Symplicity CSM in launching its virtual career fairs. “The support services are beneficial, as they both give insights about the correct usage of the platform and are available for support in case of emergency during the event,” said Alessio. “We engaged the support throughout all the setup and follow up phases of the career events.” With the expertise, knowledge, and patience of helping Bocconi navigate its virtual career fair, students and employers are ensured they can connect with ease.

The beauty of the platform is that it allows you to engage with multiple stakeholders. Not just our students or alumni, but for our faculty to. We have multiple accounts to track and view students’ progress within the platform.

The research we had been conducting on virtual career fair platforms since 2018 was very useful after our campus closed in March 2020. We explored other platforms and we were really happy when we discovered Symplicity's Virtual Career Fair was the best one since we were already CSM clients.
