New York Job Fairs

A New York job fair is a hiring event—either virtual or in-person—where multiple employers from across NYC meet with job seekers to share information about open positions, review résumés, and identify candidates for interviews and offers.

Yes, advance registration is strongly recommended and sometimes required. It helps us manage capacity, keep you informed of any updates, and allows employers to preview your résumé before the event when possible.

There is no cost for job seekers to attend our New York job fairs. Admission is free—your investment is your time and preparation. Employers pay to exhibit.

• An up-to-date résumé (printed for in-person events; PDF for virtual events).
• A short “elevator pitch” about who you are and what you’re looking for.
• A notepad or digital notes to track employers, contacts, and next steps.
• For virtual events: a quiet space, reliable internet, and a device with camera/mic.

Whether virtual or in-person, treat the event like an interview. Professional or sharp business-casual attire helps you make a strong first impression and feel confident.

Often, yes. Many employers use New York job fairs to conduct quick screening interviews or short conversations on the spot. If there’s a strong fit, they’ll usually schedule a longer follow-up interview after the event.

You’ll typically find employers from finance, banking, tech and startups, healthcare, education, media and creative industries, professional services, hospitality, logistics, and nonprofits—with roles ranging from entry-level to management. 

Employers can reserve exhibitor or virtual booth space by completing the employer inquiry form or contacting our team directly. We’ll share available dates, pricing, sponsorship options, and multi-city packages if you’re recruiting in more than one market.
