Data capture and following up

Data capture

Teams can have hundreds of conversations across the event. The key is capturing all the details to follow up quickly.

Attendees have their work in all sorts of different places – github, Behance, Dribble, Linkedin and personal websites. Regardless of their discipline, we’ll be recommending everyone arrives with something shareable to pass on to the companies where there was a real spark.

Your favourite candidates are likely to be another company’s too, so act quickly and lock-down that next stage interview. Following up with everyone you met at SMR leaves a great impression on your company – whether it’s a yes or a no.

We recommend

  • Typeform  and formstack have both been used in the past.
  • A simple  Google form with contact details and some notes works well for a quick tool.
  • We’ve seen teams use stickers to quickly categorise CVs being received on the spot – be sure to be discreet!

Unfortunately we are not able to share details of candidates post event – it’s up to you to grab the details of those you want to stay in touch with.
