When you have an in-person event, you have two Check-in options: (1) Check in candidates yourself on your own device, (2) Candidates check themselves in on their own devices. You can access these options from the "Check-in Center" on the event page.

To check in a candidate yourself using your own device, select the "Manual Check-In" option and follow the prompts on the screen as you're speaking with the candidate. You will first be prompted to input their email address. If the candidate already has a profile on RippleMatch tied to that email address all of their information will be automatically pulled through and they will be marked as an attendee in your records. If the candidate does not have a profile tied to that email address, you will be prompted to input all additional information that you customized during your event creation.

To have candidates check themselves in on their own device, select the "Attendee Self Check-In" option to open the uniquely generated QR code for that specific event. It will open a page that is customized to your company and the name of the event. Candidates can scan the QR Code on their phones to open the check in screen where they will be prompted to input their email address. If the candidate already has a profile on RippleMatch tied to that email address all of their information will be automatically pulled through and they will be marked as an attendee in your records. If the candidate does not have a profile tied to that email address, they will be prompted to input all additional information that you customized during your event creation.

Leading up to your event, you should decide upon your desired check-in method and prepare your resources accordingly. You can use the Print Self Check in Placard to open a ready to print screen with your event QR code on it to put on your booth's table. Or you can download QR Code to save an image of only the QR Code to add to your own marketing materials for the event. You can take a screen shot of of your QR codes ahead of time and print it out, make it the background on your phone, or find other unique ways to share this with a candidate you meet.

This step of having candidates check in during your event is essential to collecting candidates’ data so that you can later track analytics, follow up with emails or job applications, and keep all data from your events in one place.

The same options available for virtual event check-in are also available for an in-person event.
