For events that are hosted by a third party (i.e., you are registering for it and not hosting it yourself), you are not responsible for inviting candidates to the event.

This event you create will not be seen by attendees as they will not be RSVPing ahead of time. It is used so you can track and manage candidates you meet at the event and contact them as desired.


Let's dive into the set up:

  1. Input the Name of the Event (tip: include the school's name or third party who is hosting)

  2. Select "Someone Else" toggle for who is organizing the event

  3. You can leave the Description blank by simply inputting any characters or a space

  4. Set the Date and Time of the event (important to include the correct start and end times. If unknown, set it 8:00am – 10:00pm)

  5. Event Type can be toggled to be either virtual or in-person. No link or address will be shared with attendees as it will be hosted/coordinated by the third party, so you can enter any full link (http://ripplematch.com) or hard address

  6. Set Visibility to ‘Private’

  7. Select "No" for RippleMatch marketing the event

  8. Add any Cover Photo

  9. Set the Event Owner

  10. Keep Event RSVP Limit set to ‘No’

  11. Set Automated Reminder Emails set to ‘Off’

  12. Review and Submit!
