Why we charge to exhibit at our Job Fairs

A paid Job Fair should deliver more than a table in a room. It should create conversations, interviews, handshakes and hires with candidates who are actively looking for work.

What your exhibitor fee helps fund

Organising a successful recruitment event involves significant investment before the doors even open. The fee lets us focus on the things that make the biggest difference: strong venues, targeted candidate attraction and a professional experience.

01

We invest heavily in candidate marketing

We spend thousands promoting every event across social media, email campaigns, local advertising, colleges, universities, Eventbrite and our own candidate database — all designed to attract active, local candidates who are ready to work.

02

Better venues create better first impressions

We host events in recognisable, accessible venues that candidates actually want to attend. The setting matters when you’re representing your brand and trying to attract quality applicants.

03

We focus on quality over quantity

Anyone can fill a room. Our focus is bringing motivated candidates who are genuinely looking for opportunities, not just passing footfall.

04

Your time has value

Recruitment teams are busy. Our events run 10am to 1pm and are structured to maximise meaningful face-to-face conversations, helping reduce wasted time and improve hiring efficiency.

05

We keep our events affordable

Recruitment events should be accessible to businesses of all sizes. Rather than charging inflated exhibition prices, we focus on genuine value, quality candidates and professionally organised events at a fair cost.

06

We’re building events that actually work

From event staffing and logistics to candidate communication and exhibitor support, every detail is designed to help employers have better conversations with candidates who are genuinely looking for work.

Built around better conversations

At the end of the day, exhibiting at a Job Fair should generate conversations, interviews, handshakes and hires — not just a busy-looking room. That’s what we build our events around.

Worth knowing before you exhibit

We want exhibitors to book with the right expectations and choose the package that best fits their recruitment needs.

Book early if possible. Your vacancies can then be included in pre-event marketing, helping attract candidates with relevant skills, experience and interests.

Attendance varies by location. We can provide historical attendance figures and local insight for specific events before you book.

Niche roles may need extra visibility. For harder-to-fill vacancies, an Enhanced Package can help raise awareness before and during the event.

Come ready to engage. The employers who do best are proactive, approachable and ready to have meaningful conversations on the day.

Common questions before booking

A quick, honest guide to how our paid Job Fairs work, where we advertise and how to get the most from your stand.

Where do you advertise the events?

Our primary marketing is targeted social media advertising, tailored to each event location and aimed at candidates 18+ who are actively looking for a new opportunity.

We also promote our events through colleges, universities, Eventbrite and our website, reaching a broad and diverse pool of candidates across multiple channels.

To further ensure relevant footfall, we use the information provided by our exhibitors to create targeted email campaigns to our candidate database, highlighting the employers, roles and career pathways available at each event.

How many candidates attend your events?

Attendance varies depending on the location, but our events typically attract anywhere from 200 to 1,200 candidates throughout the day.

Rather than focusing solely on footfall, our priority is attracting relevant, engaged candidates who are actively looking for employment. For specific historical attendance in a particular location, please contact Jessica.

What makes your events different to free ones?

The exhibitor fee funds the two things that most affect results: venue quality and targeted candidate attraction.

We book accessible venues and invest heavily in marketing to bring in relevant, engaged job seekers — not just footfall. The goal is meaningful employer / candidate conversations and better recruitment outcomes, rather than simply filling a room.

We’re not sure a Jobs Fair will work for us — do you offer new customer incentives?

We understand that attending a new recruitment event can be a significant decision, so we do offer a new exhibitor promotion for first-time customers.

Please speak with Jessica, who will be happy to discuss the offer in more detail and help you find the most suitable package for your recruitment needs.

Our roles are quite niche — would we benefit from attending?

While niche roles can be more challenging to recruit for, our targeted marketing approach means you have a strong chance to connect with suitable candidates.

To maximise your results, we recommend booking early so your vacancies can be included in our pre-event marketing. You may also wish to consider our Enhanced Package for additional visibility before and during the event.

What makes a Jobs Fair better than posting a job online?

Job fairs let you meet candidates face-to-face, making a stronger first impression and assessing suitability beyond what’s written on a CV.

At a single event you can meet hundreds of candidates, build awareness of your organisation and strengthen your employer brand locally. Many exhibitors use our events to identify strong candidates, conduct informal interviews and sometimes make hires on the spot.

What makes a Jobs Fair better than using a recruitment agency?

Job fairs offer a more cost-effective and personal approach than agencies, which can charge fees of up to 20% of a candidate’s annual salary.

You keep full control of the hiring process, promote your organisation directly and engage with a wider pool of motivated job seekers — helping to fill vacancies faster while building a pipeline for the future.
