Recruitment Events/Job Fairs

Recruitment events and job fairs provide your business with an opportunity to interact one-on-one with a pool of talented job seekers. Our goal is to help you make connections to meet the workforce needs of your business.

Recruitment Events can be tailored to your business to assist you with your hiring needs. Your local Business Services Representative can help you design an event that gives your business the flexibility to meet your needs on your own terms.

Examples of how your event can be designed:

  • Meet and review applicants
  • Large-scale information sessions
  • Small Q & A sessions
  • Candidate assessments
  • Preliminary interviews

Hiring Events can be held at:

  • Your worksite
  • An offsite location
  • American Job Centers in the Baltimore City locations

Reasons to participate in a Job Fair:

  • Qualified talent in one place at one time. Meet face-to-face to go beyond the resume and narrow the candidate pool before arranging formal interviews.
  • Multiple companies in one location.  Attract a large pool of candidates.
  • Reduce recruiting time by providing information and answering candidate questions. This ensures that applicants understand your organization and the job you are posting.
  • Reach motivated job seekers proactively pursuing career opportunities.
