Whether you're leaving education, currently unemployed, or already in employment and seeking new opportunities, the South Hams Employment Fair is the perfect place to find new opportunities in the area.

Businesses representing various sectors will be there as exhibitors on the day, ready to talk to you. You'll have access to a wide range of local organisations actively seeking people to join their teams.

• Ask questions directly to the people making hiring decisions
• Learn about different career paths and sectors
• Find out about training and development opportunities
• Discuss self-employment ideas with a local business advisor

Connect with jobseekers
Exhibiting at the event is free, having been fully funded by South Hams District Council. This is an ideal opportunity to showcase your business and connect with job seekers in the South Hams.

Finding the right people to join your business can be challenging. Employment fairs can be a very cost-effective way to meet a number of potential candidates in one place. As this is a funded event, there’s no cost for taking a stand (though spaces are limited), so if you are looking at recruiting in the local area don’t miss out on this great opportunity.

This event offers the chance to interact directly with potential candidates, increase your local presence, and meet and network with other local businesses.

Why exhibit?

• Connect with jobseekers actively looking for work
• More cost-effective than agencies and advertising
• Gauge personality and cultural fit face-to-face
• Make connections for future vacancies
• Showcase your business within the community

Fully-funded by South Hams District Council, there is no cost to exhibit at the event, and it should prove to be an ideal opportunity to showcase your business and connect with local job seekers.
