People meeting at an employment fair

Finding the right people to join your business can be challenging. Employment fairs can be a very cost-effective way to meet a number of potential candidates in one place. As this is a funded event, there’s no cost for taking a stand (though spaces are limited), so if you are looking at recruiting in the local area don’t miss out on this great opportunity.

This event offers the chance to interact directly with potential candidates, increase your local presence, and meet and network with other local businesses.

Why exhibit?
  • Connect with jobseekers actively looking for work
  • More cost-effective than agencies and advertising
  • Gauge personality and cultural fit face-to-face
  • Make connections for future vacancies
  • Showcase your business within the community
