Project Description
An annual recruiting & training event that designed to connect businesses with job seekers from international background, culture and work experience.
OBJECTIVES
International Career Fair was started as a specialty event ensuring recruiters and job seekers with international backgrounds were on the same page, looking for the same things.
- Focus on attracting recruits with international backgrounds
- Highlight IDO Media clients as firms looking for international workers
- Cultivate Manitoba-based Chinese talent through networking and seminars
CHALLENGES
Typical career fair formats tend to be seen as a “shotgun approach” to recruiting and may not favour visible minority groups. International Career Fair was designed to address this and other common event hosting challenges.
- Communicating the value of international backgrounds to domestic firms
- New career fair offerings such as seminars need to be developed
- Monetization challenges as capacity limits reached with free attendance
RESULTS
International Career Fair has been a terrific resource for both attendees and recruiters each year, sparking new government relations and rivalling domestic career fairs as it has grown.
- New formats led to relationships with government and non-profit groups
- Hundreds of attendees hired by recruiters each year
- Part of IDO Media’s corporate social responsibility contributions
