Sheffield’s Summer Graduate Recruitment Fair takes place online from Monday 11 June until Friday 22 June 2012. It provides a platform, allowing employers to promote themselves to students and graduates. You can list current vacancies, upload video clips and if desired, answer direct questions via email or skype.
Why is the fair online?
At this time of year the majority of our students will be heading back home and would therefore find it difficult to attend in person. Running this fair online provides access to everybody, no matter where they are located and at all times of the day and night.
How is the fair promoted?
We will be targeting students and graduates at The University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University using a variety of electronic channels: email, facebook, twitter, and websites. We will also be using the Alumni departments to make contact with recent graduates.
How much time will it involve?
We have designed our online fair to ensure that the amount of time involved is kept to a minimum. Once your profile is set up, you're in control. We'll send you updates and students will send you application forms but we won't bombard you, you even have a turn off button!
Do I need to leave the office?
Our online fair means you promote yourself online...no travel expenses and no time out of the office, just carry on with your normal schedule and let the fair work for you.
Can you send me the CVs of students/graduates interested in working with my organisation?
You can choose how you would like students and graduates to apply for each vacancy, either include a weblink to your online application process, upload an application form that you would like them to complete, or ask them to send their CV or application form to you by email or post.
Is there a deadline by which I need to register my organisation?
No there is no deadline. This is one of the advantages of taking part in our online Fair. You can submit your booking form at any time before and during our Fair and we'll make sure that your opportunities are listed as soon as possible. However, we would encourage any organisation to give themselves as much time as possible to publicise their opportunities.
How much does it cost?
If you have exhibited at one of our previous fairs (held between November 2011 - present), there is absolutely no cost involved.
If you haven't taken part in one of our fairs this year our online package costs just £95 plus VAT.
