Aran was a great help! Well organised event!

We recently exhibited at the Sheffield careers fair and it was extremely beneficial for our team. It was a valuable opportunity to connect with a wide range of talented individuals, and the event was well organised throughout. Aran was particularly helpful - very approachable, supportive and proactive. His assistance made the experience run so smoothly for us and we will be rebooking (providing he's there to help with our stands again!) Look forward to the next one!

Attended a recent event hosted by The UK Careers Fair and found it excellent, I have always preferred actually speaking to a person rather than doing everything online. Spoke with lots and employers and to top it off, got lots of freebies!

Myself and a few colleagues recently exhibited our small business at a UK Careers Fair event. We were very impressed by the professionalism from the team leading up to, and during the event, and pleased with the interest we received from visitors that day. We will definitely be looking to attend the same event next year.

Great to be part of these events and have met some high-quality candidates from across the UK.

As a Dubai based company these events prove to be great for our remote roles. A fantastic opportunity to connect with talented individuals and promote our opportunities.

Always well-organised, professional, and worthwhile attending and look forward to future events!

Our organisation recently exhibited at…

Our organisation recently exhibited at a UK Careers Fair event and unfortunately the experience was disappointing. Visitor turnout was far below what would normally be expected from a national careers exhibition. Promotion and public visibility of the event appeared very limited, and signage at the venue was insufficient for guiding attendees.

We dedicated time, staff, and budget to this event and the outcome did not justify the investment. Attempts to discuss these concerns and request a refund have not been handled in a satisfactory or responsive manner.

We encourage other businesses to review previous exhibitor experiences and event performance before booking.

I went inspite of my health

I went inspite of my health. Jam pacjrd but useless Someome trying yo see a private teach english course. Many stands except few jobs on offer at all. Advisors all same youre wonderful go online, so a waste of time msny had inly managerial or like 2 jobs for whole of Uk. One was v interested but never contacted me anyway. Another said I ld be great for teach english job or course at local college, again they never contacted me at all. Believe hardly any jobs which is worse and worse this year with salaries noine can rent on. Similsr when went to a hotel job fair. Many stands there to promote college or uni but not jobs on spot, unless you fancy being a debt collector.

Poor - Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront

No welcoming.
No tickets checked.
Handful of stands; cramped and non engaging.
Guide dogs, food bank, Octopus energy, to name a few stands which were completely irrelevant.
Waste of time travelling to this event.

Tottenham Stadium. What a waste of time.

What a waste of time. Super cramped, no logging of tickets into the event so obviously everyone and their dog was there, should be a one way system as people just block every flow (some places were barely 2 people wide), mainly recruitment companies which aren't anything special who can be sourced online anyway and maybe 50 stalls? Took me an hour and 40 minutes to get there and I was there maybe 20 minutes? What a waste. Honestly thought it was going to be a more open space, a fairly professional but relaxed atmosphere to talk business. Luckily got the ticket free (not that it was needed) but still feel like I've lost out.

Not worth the time and travel expense

Only about 15 stands, one wasn't even recruiting. Mostly teacher or carer positions. Very crammed into a room. I was there 15 minutes. Pointless and a waste of time and money getting there and paying for parking.

Booked ticket for event

Booked ticket for event. No ticket service. 1000 people in a room built for half that at the most! No help from the event venue staff over health and safety. Had a panic attack due to heat and numbers! Can’t even get to see a potential employer. 3 hours saw 5 people. Loads of people pushing. Free for all. No organisation. Won’t be attending another one! Abysmal
