There’s a bit of controversy about job fairs and whether or not they can benefit your business. As an employer, you have a few options when it comes to recruiting. You can work completely digitally or you can meet candidates face-to-face.
In short, the answer is yes, you should recruit at job fairs. The reason? Here are three main benefits of job fairs and how you should take advantage of them:
Increase brand awareness
A job fair is an excellent opportunity to shed light on your company, whether small or big. It’s also a great way to encourage job seekers to consider you for employment.
Connect with other corporations
When companies meet one another, they increase communications and bridge the gap between establishments. Whether you’re a startup or an long-time running corporation, making new connections can only be a service to your company.
Open up your network
In the four or five hours you spend at a job fair, you can meet dozens of candidates. That means, you’ll have the opportunity to meet face-to-face with candidates interested in your organization. And let’s face it – a phone call can only do so much. With this lead, you’ll be meeting the person for the second time around on the interview, should you find a lead.
