Join Ontario’s most established, comprehensive and largest Recruitment Event

Organizers are excited to be working on the fall 2008 fair with an anticipated all-time record-breaker: 170 to 180 exhibitors and over 10,000 visitors are expected. These numbers are logical and fair estimates based on the rich experience of our 12 past events, our growth since 2002 and real opportunities. Our published expected numbers are never determined to attract companies with excessive or unrealistic expectations. With us, what you see is what you get and what you get is what you have been told. With us, there is no room for storytellers...

2008 is in-line to become the 7th consecutive best year for The National Job Fair & Training Expo following a record-setting (for a spring fair) of 155 exhibitors on April 8 and 9. Thanks to the exciting and promising fall fair expected to beat our all-time record of 157 exhibitors (from fall 2007 fair), the best is yet to come! This made us Canada’s most established, comprehensive and largest recruitment event open to the general public.

Alberta Recruitment Zone

The National Job Fair & Training Expo supports the "jobbooming" Alberta. The Alberta Recruitment Zone will continue to be a great feature for the fall 2008 fair, after over 20 exhibitors at its first two presentations in the fall 2007 and spring 2008 fairs. Alberta-based organizations are invited to exhibit massively. Since no less than 65% of our attendees are interested to explore a career opportunity and/or to get more information about working in, living in and relocating to Alberta, exhibiting is a winning recruitment strategy for Alberta-based employers.

Benefit from our multi-sector approach: The most effective form of recruitment

The concept of The National Job Fair & Training Expo is based on a multi-sector approach, proven to be the most effective form of recruitment for your investment. The multi-sector approach works, and the numbers speak for themselves: 98% of our exhibitors are satisfied overall with their participation, and most participate over and over again, from one edition to the next. Exhibitor satisfaction and testimonials are extremely positive and unequivocal. Why don’t you join us and add your voice?

Benefit from the human touch with face-to-face contact

The National Job Fair & Training Expo allows recruiters to single out candidates at the start of the selection process—candidates they might not choose when they rely solely on resumés. The resumé, while essential in helping to select candidates, is only one step in the recruiting process. Face-to-face contact facilitates the selection in the very first few minutes of an interview, making it the most effective form of recruitment. Just think how many good candidates you might be missing out on when you start the selection process with resumés.

A 462% exhibitors’ growth!

The National Job Fair & Training Expo is the leading fair open to the general public in the recruitment marketplace in Canada. The volume of exhibitors is steadily growing, from 34 exhibitors in September 2002 to 157 exhibitors in September 2007: a 462% growth in 5 years. Since 2002, we had 1,262 exhibitor registrations (cumulative) and welcomed 128,900 attendees in just 12 editions—unparalleled results in the history of events of its kind in Ontario! Our goal is to present an event with over 200 exhibitors. We are well on our way to achieving that goal in a near future!

Survey statistics

45% of attendees are out of job and eager to find work to advance their career, while 49% of attendees are already working, but they are looking for a new, better job or are ready for a career change—a “hidden” job market. Reaching the hidden job market is an added bonus for participating recruiters.
