Case Study: Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) achieves massive outreach and streamlined recruitment with vFairs

Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) Hosts First Ever Virtual Career Fair

The Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) sought to modernize how it connects job seekers and employers after traditional physical career fairs proved costly, hard to manage, limited in reach, and poor at delivering timely insights. To address high-risk hosting, manual CV handling, distracted recruiters, and a lack of measurable outcomes, WDA partnered with vFairs to explore a digital alternative using a Virtual Career Fair platform.

vFairs built a customized Virtual Career Fair with applicant-tracking features, industry "virtual floors," live chat, e-resources, and a real-time reporting dashboard supported by dedicated project managers. The 15-day event showcased 500 jobs from 50 companies, drew nearly 3,000 unique registrations, and produced booth engagement peaks of up to 2,109 visits and 841 tab clicks—delivering faster, more relevant shortlisting, measurable KPIs, and significant cost and time savings for WDA.
