Virtual events have come a long way from the slide-deck webinars of early 2020. As organisations across recruitment, education, corporate communications, and events shift to digital-first engagement, the bar for what a virtual platform should deliver has risen sharply. Here are three features of the SeeMeCV (now SeeMeSOL) platform that are making the biggest difference for event organisers in 2021 and beyond.
1. Fully Customisable Modules
No two organisations run the same type of event — and no single template should try to serve them all. Virtual events are no longer the exclusive domain of recruitment programmes. Increasingly, businesses are using virtual platforms to run employee training and development sessions, corporate town halls, higher education open days, product launches, industry awards ceremonies, and much more.
The SeeMeCV platform is built to be fully customisable, giving event organisers the ability to create a bespoke environment that is tailored precisely to their objectives. Rather than adapting your event to fit a rigid platform, you configure the platform to fit your event. That flexibility means every detail — from booth layouts and branding to navigation flow and content modules — can be shaped around what your audience actually needs.
2. A Comprehensive Suite of Chat Options
If there is one metric that captures the shift in virtual event expectations, it is chat engagement. In Q3 2021, SeeMeCV recorded a 213% increase in virtual fair chat sessions compared to Q2 — a figure that reflects a fundamental change in how attendees want to interact with brands and employers online.
Text chat alone is no longer sufficient. Exhibitors and event hosts need to be able to connect with attendees through text, voice, and video — both in one-to-one sessions and in group formats. Whether the goal is a structured candidate interview, a quick product demo, or an informal brand conversation, the right chat option can make the difference between a passive visitor and an engaged participant.
For recruitment events in particular, the ability to move from a text introduction to a live video interview within the same platform — without switching tools or losing context — is a significant efficiency gain. It reduces friction for candidates and gives employers a richer picture of who they are speaking to.
3. Data Analytics
A virtual event generates a wealth of data that an in-person event simply cannot match — and knowing how to capture and use that data is what separates a good event from a great one. The ability to measure what happened before, during, and after your event is indispensable to understanding whether you achieved your objectives.
SeeMeCV's built-in analytics allow organisers to track visitor behaviour, booth engagement, chat volumes, content downloads, and more. Raw data can be exported for deeper analysis, enabling teams to refine their approach for future events, demonstrate ROI to stakeholders, and identify which aspects of the event resonated most with their audience.
Data analytics also empowers recruiters in specific ways. Live candidate scoring and note-taking features — introduced in Q3 2021 — allow hiring teams to evaluate candidates in real time and download their assessments after the event, dramatically reducing the time between engagement and decision.
Putting It All Together
The most successful virtual events on the SeeMeCV platform combine all three of these features: a customised environment that reflects the brand, meaningful chat interactions that replicate the warmth of face-to-face engagement, and data that proves value and drives continuous improvement.
Whether you are planning your first virtual event or looking to elevate an established programme, these three capabilities are the foundation of a platform that delivers results. Get in touch with the SeeMeSOL team to find out how we can help you design an event that meets your goals.
