Job fairs are becoming an increasingly popular source of job candidates. Generally organized by industry, job fairs are like trade shows that provide employers with the opportunity to meet interested job searchers in a particular field. For instance, a community might sponsor a “small manufacturing” job fair where area manufacturers would be present to provide information on their company and their personnel needs. The job fair would be advertised in the community, drawing those individuals interested in the type of position being represented at the fair.

3.6 Recruitment open houses

While job fairs generally provide a number of employers with the opportunity to meet potential job candidates, holding an open house for your own company provides you with the opportunity to present your job opportunities exclusively to a group of interested job candidates. Recruitment open houses can be a good way to attract a large number of candidates, particularly if you are adding a large number of new positions or are opening a new facility. Advertise your open house through area newspapers and through notices at local universities and technical colleges.
