How do I book a stand at a Job Fair?
Find the event you would like to attend and add it to your shopping cart. Once in your cart, choose your preferred stand option for that event and proceed to checkout. You can pay online or request an invoice (at checkout).
Can I book more than one Job Fair at the same time?
Yes. You can add as many events as you need to your shopping cart and complete them all in one order. You can select different stand options per event.
What are the different stand options?
We offer three stand options for you to choose from. Once you have added an event to your shopping cart, you will be able to view the three options and the prices. To see what’s included in each stand option and make the right selection for you, please visit our stand packages page.
Can I pay for my stand online?
Yes. You can pay securely online during checkout. Once payment has been successfully completed, you’ll receive confirmation of your booking by email. If you require an invoice, please see question 5.
Can I request an invoice instead of paying online?
Yes. Simply select Invoice Required at checkout. You can submit your booking without making an online payment, and our team will send you an invoice separately.
Can I add a Purchase Order (PO) number?
Yes. There is an option during checkout to add your PO number, purchase reference or other internal reference to your order.
I’m not ready to book. Can I enquire about an event first?
Absolutely. Click the ? button on the event you’re interested in to send us an enquiry. Our team can answer any questions before you decide whether you’d like to book.
Do I need to create an account to book?
No. There is no account or login required. Simply select your event(s), choose your stand option(s) and complete your details at checkout.
How will I know my booking has been received?
We’ll send a confirmation to the email address provided when you complete your order. If you’ve paid online, this will confirm your payment. If you’ve requested an invoice, we’ll confirm that your order has been received and an invoice will follow.
Can I use a discount or promotional code?
Yes. If you have a valid promotional or discount code, you can enter it during the booking process. Any applicable discount will be shown before you complete your order.
How many locations do you operate in?
We host Job Fairs in multiple locations across the UK throughout the year. Visit Upcoming Job Fairs to see all upcoming events. We do some locations multiple times throughout each year.
What types of companies can exhibit?
Our Job Fairs welcome companies recruiting for job opportunities, apprenticeships, training courses, voluntary roles, self-employed opportunities, and careers advice.
Please note that we do not accept Job Sites at our events.
Do you run industry specific Job Fairs?
We are considering specialist events in the future, so please let us know if this is something you’d be interested in.
What kind of candidates attend?
Our events attract a diverse range of job seekers aged 16+, including school leavers, graduates, career changers, people returning to work, people currently employed but looking for their next opportunity and unemployed job seekers.
How many candidates attend?
Attendance varies depending on the location and event. If you’re considering a particular Job Fair, our team will be happy to provide expected visitor numbers.
How do you advertise your Job Fairs?
We invest heavily in promoting every event using a proven multi-channel marketing strategy developed since 2010.
It’s a bit like the secret fried chicken recipe. We don’t give everything away! But our approach has helped us attract hundreds of local candidates to our events.
How do you attract relevant candidates to my stand?
We promote participating companies and their opportunities before each event using the information provided by exhibitors.
The more information you give us about your vacancies and opportunities, the better we can promote them to relevant local candidates.
Do you have testimonials?
Yes. We’ve received hundreds of testimonials from employers who have successfully recruited through our events. Visit our Testimonials page to see what previous exhibitors have said.
Are you on social media?
Yes. You can follow The Bridge on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
How do we feature in the Jobs Fair Newspaper?
We offer advertising opportunities within our Jobs Fair Newspaper. Visit the Jobs Fair Newspaper page or contact our team for further information.
What time can we arrive?
Exhibitors can arrive from 9am to set up. Our events open to candidates at 10am.
If you need earlier access, please contact us and we’ll do our best to help.
Can we deliver equipment before the event?
Yes, but arrangements must be made directly with the venue.
We can provide venue contact details if required. Please note that any equipment or other items left at the venue are left at your own risk.
Is parking available?
Parking information is sent approximately one week before your event as part of your exhibitor set-up information.
If you need parking information sooner, simply contact us.
Will Wi-Fi be available?
Wi-Fi is available at many of our venues. Details will be provided on the day where available.
Is electricity available?
Yes. Please request electricity in advance so we can make the necessary arrangements with the venue.
Can we bring a TV?
Absolutely. If you’re bringing a TV or other electrical equipment, please make sure you’ve requested electricity in advance.
Can we bring a dog?
This depends on the individual venue. Please contact us before the event and we’ll check for you.
What’s included at my stand?
Every stand includes a 4ft, 5ft or 6ft trestle table depending on the venue, a tablecloth and chairs.
How large is the stand space?
Each stand is approximately 6ft wide.
If you’re planning to bring a display wider than this, please let us know in advance.
What can we bring to our stand?
You’re welcome to bring pop-up banners, branded tablecloths, branded merchandise, TV screens, podiums, curved display walls and other marketing materials.
You don’t need expensive display equipment or large amounts of branded merchandise to have a successful Job Fair. Many exhibitors simply bring two or three proactive team members, information about their opportunities and plenty of enthusiasm.
If your display exceeds approximately 6ft wide, please let us know beforehand.
How many staff can attend?
There is no set limit, although most exhibitors bring between 2 and 3 team members.
Do we need to send our vacancies beforehand?
No. Simply provide your careers/jobs page link as part of your booking information and we can produce A4 QR Code vacancy posters for our Job Boards.
What is our stand number?
We don’t allocate stand numbers in advance.
When you arrive, a member of our Event Team will greet you and show you to your allocated stand.
What do we do when we arrive?
Please check in with a member of the Event Team when you arrive. We’ll show you to your allocated stand and answer any questions before the event begins.
Can we leave before the event finishes?
We ask all exhibitors to remain until the advertised closing time unless there is an emergency.
Candidates continue arriving throughout the event, and leaving early can mean missing potential candidates as well as affecting the experience for other attendees.
Can I attend without booking a stand to promote my business?
No. Only registered exhibitors may promote their organisation or speak to candidates for recruitment or business development purposes.
Anyone attending specifically to promote services or recruit without having booked a stand may be asked to leave.
