6 tips on how to organise a job fair
1. Choose the right venue
Many job fairs are typically held in large venues to accommodate high attendee numbers and several breakout rooms — think conference centres, stadiums, and community halls.
2. Recruit employers
From local start-ups to bigger businesses, make sure to recruit a range of employers for your fair — and offer each one a dedicated company booth to showcase their brand and available roles.
3. Hire staff
Give attendees a smooth experience by hiring staff to guide them through the fair — whether that’s staffing registration tables, serving refreshments, or facilitating Q&As at networking sessions.
4. Create your job fair
Make your job fair stand out with our customisable event pages. Easily attract attendees by including a list of employers present, as well as some of the roles and opportunities they’re recruiting for.
5. Promote the fair
Reach the right jobseekers with Eventbrite’s advanced marketing tools. Our personalised recommendations and smart audience insights help you target the people most likely to attend your job fair.
6. Set up registration
Boost attendee numbers by streamlining your ticket sales. Online registration and mobile payment allow guests to check out in seconds, while QR code tickets mean easy check-in on the day of the fair.
How to set up a job fair successfully
Set up company booths
Ask employers to bring branded marketing materials and merchandise to help attendees gain a better understanding of their company and its culture.
Anticipate attendee needs
Tag company booths with attributes — such as industry and employment type (full-time, part-time, or internship) — to help attendees find what they’re interested in.
Run workshops
Ensure attendees get the most out of your job fair by offering additional services on the day — think CV workshops, interview rooms, and career seminars.
Add refreshments
Keep food and drinks close by — such as water, tea, coffee, biscuits, and fruit — so attendees and employers can stay energised throughout the job fair.
