Tips for Employers at the Bergen County Job Fair

Our goal is to help you reach the greatest number prospective employees in a single day. To make the most of this opportunity, we suggest the following:

  • Be sure to complete your registration form fully, carefully, and according to directions; as this is what will be shared with job seekers online.
  • Arrive early…but not too early. Doors open for employer setup at 7:30 a.m.
  • To be fair to all that attend, please try not to leave the job fair early. You may miss meeting your next best employee.
  • Your display should fit on or in front of a six-foot table. We expect a lot of employers and job seekers, so we encourage employers to make the most of their space.
  • People attend job fairs to interact with employers and to learn things they cannot find out online. Bringing literature about your company, website information, copies of job descriptions, and business cards are ideal for a job fair.
  • You will be given a job fair assessment survey. Please be sure to complete it. The more candid the answer the better able we will be able to improve our next job fair.

Employer FAQ

Do I need to register in advance?

Yes. All representatives must be registered prior to the event. Feel free to rotate representatives in and out throughout the day.

Employer Setup

Each employer will be provided with a 6ft table. Please contact us if you need an additional table(s). We encourage bringing stands and posters. However, not all tables are against a wall so if you are planning on bringing something that must be hung please let us know in advance so we can position your table appropriately. Each space can comfortably fit two representatives, but there is no hard limit.

Power and WiFi Access

No electrical power is available on the job fair floor or at the employer tables. We encourage you to bring displays that do not require electricity and fully charge your electrical devices. Power outlets are available in the employer lounge if you need to charge your electronic devices.

Will food be provided?

Breakfast and lunch will be provided to employers in the employer lounge. Each registered employer will get two breakfast tickets and two lunch tickets.

Is there a resume book available?

We have a list of candidates. Please contact us to inquire about getting candidate information.
