“This hiring fair was a game-changer for us. We've struggled to find skilled applicants through our regular channels, but this event opened doors to many suitable candidates we hadn't been able to reach before. The variety of talent was impressive, and it even led to unexpected networking opportunities with other businesses.”

“There were so many enthusiastic youth. Having job seekers that genuinely want a job, along with the demographics of the Fair, was perfect. It’s a great fit and approach for our company. We attend tons of hiring fairs and believe YEC does it the best.”

“The youth were prepared and managers were impressed.”

“The Hiring Fair was really good in presenting us with suitable candidates. We were able to reach people that were challenging to find.”

“The event was marketed well. Youth were prepared with resumes and candidates were interacting well with our staff. Job seekers had done some research and knew what to expect ahead of time.”
