Bring accurate role information and a short application route, assign distinct recruiter responsibilities, and prepare a conversation plan tied to the work. Confirm booth arrangements separately with the organizer. Judge the day by useful next steps and completed follow-up, supported by a clear record of each discussion.
Confirm the purpose and arrangements
Choose the roles your team can discuss confidently and identify the next step you can actually offer. That might be an application review, a scheduled interview, or a call with a supervisor. Prepare a one-page role sheet showing the worksite, approved pay, schedule, starting requirements, and training. Remove openings that are no longer active.
JobFairGiant's October 28 and November 19, 2026 events run from noon to 5 p.m. at the Southfield Radisson, 26555 Telegraph Road. Candidate attendance is free. Employer booth participation has a separate fee; request arrangements through info@jobfairgiant.com. Confirm your participation before advertising your company as an exhibitor, and verify setup and equipment details with the organizer.
Design the booth for a clear first exchange
Use visible role titles and a short explanation of what your organization does. Place application instructions where someone can read them without waiting for a recruiter. Offer a short URL as well as a QR code, and bring a printed alternative for people who cannot use either during the event.
Assign a greeter to help people find the right conversation, a recruiter to discuss the work, and a coordinator to manage next steps when staffing allows. Rehearse a concise introduction and a few job-related questions. Decide how to move longer discussions to a quieter follow-up rather than allowing a single conversation to block the booth.
Prepare the follow-up before packing
Use a consistent note format that captures the opening discussed, relevant experience, candidate questions, preferred contact method, and agreed next action. Explain how contact information will be used. Keep notes secure and collect only information needed for recruitment. A pile of resumes without context creates work that is difficult to prioritize afterward.
Reserve time on the team's calendar for reviewing conversations and contacting candidates. Prepare message templates with space for the role and the specific next step. Review what candidates asked most often and improve the role sheet before the next event. Useful booth planning includes the work your team will complete when the display is back in storage.
Your next-step checklist
- Confirm booth participation and organizer instructions.

- Reserve calendar time for post-event candidate contact.
Questions people ask
Does a job posting include an employer booth?
Online postings and employer booth participation are separate arrangements. Review posting products independently, and contact info@jobfairgiant.com for booth fees and participation details.
Must every conversation become an interview?
No. Offer a next step that fits the role and the discussion. An accurate explanation or a relevant application link can be useful without promising an interview.
