OUR START AND OUR MISSION

CareerFairs.com was launched on January 1st, 2008 as a career website that intends to revitalize job recruitment on the web with a modern twist using Video Technology. The founders feel that this service will provide its community with the ability to connect the right candidate, in the right job, with the right company. By using this site, undergraduate and graduate students can now attend 6 different Career Fairs any day, anytime and at their own leisure.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES FOR JOB SEEKERS?

Any job seeker that has attended a Career Fair knows the challenges; long lines, not enough time to speak with employers, pressure to make a good first impression, and difficulty getting out of work/class to attend are just a few. Job seekers also realize the limitations of traditional on-line job boards make it difficult to stand out in a sea of resumes.

CareerFairs.com has created a solution to address these and other challenges facing today’s job seeker. With the capability for employers to broadcast a video along with a job opening, job seekers will learn more about a company and the job opening in an engaging format. Additionally, job seekers have the ability to post a video along with a traditional resume. Utilizing a video profile provides registered users the opportunity to differentiate themselves from the other candidates by:

• Sharing relevant experiences that will interest an employer.
• Describing unique skills, key attributes and accomplishments.
• Answering targeted questions from employers or the CareerFairs.com question bank.
• Taking control of the first impression.

As a job seeker, you can start to use CareerFairs.com immediately by clicking “watch video now” from our featured Career Fair Section off the Home Page. To learn more about creating your own video profile or just simply upload a traditional resume, click the "Job Seeker" link above.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES FOR EMPLOYERS?

Most employers that have participated in Career Fairs and college recruiting know the reality; it is expensive, resource intensive, and difficult to make any genuine connections with qualified job seekers. Employers also know that utilizing traditional on-line recruitment tools is becoming less effective due to increased competition and lack of differentiation (you’ve seen one online job posting, you’ve seen them all).

• Careerfairs.com allows employers to significantly expand participation in college recruitment and Career Fairs without spending additional money or increasing resource strain.
• Employers can leverage careerfairs.com brand by publishing private micro sites, resulting in an increase of exposure, greater brand awareness, and a more efficient recruiting process. For example, www.careerfairs.com/yourcompanyname.

CareerFairs.com offers a solution to address these and other recruiting challenges. Our registered employers have the opportunity to broadcast a video that will capture the attention of candidates: The benefits are unlimited and can be used to:

• Share career and development opportunities.
• Publish employee testimonials.
• Record messages from the CEO or other executives.
• Capture virtual tours of the office and work environment.
• Demonstrate the company Employment Value Proposition.
• Ask prescreening questions to job candidates for specific job openings.

The advantages do not stop there! Job seekers will attach videos to their resumes when they apply for a job opening. This means that employers will “meet” the job candidate as soon as they apply to the job. Recruiters can utilize the candidate video as a part of their screening process. Candidate videos can be shared across a company (with hiring leaders or other recruiters). This capability allows a company to create a short list of top candidates in a fraction of the time it takes utilizing traditional on-line recruiting tools and processes.
