Not Another Job Fair

  • Thursday 21 May, 2026
  • 10:00 - 13:00
  • Kimpton Hotel 38 Charlotte Square, Edinburgh EH2 4HQ

Let’s be honest: if you’ve been to one job fair, you’ve been to all of them. Endless brochures, awkward small talk, and recruiters who promise to “keep your CV on file” (translation: goodbye forever).

Not Another Job Fair is our answer. It’s designed for candidates looking for jobs now and clear next steps. Jobseekers get meaningful time with employers, while BID businesses meet motivated candidates without sifting through endless applications.

At this event, you’ll:

  • Meet hiring managers who are actually hiring
  • Skip the waiting game and jump straight into on‑the‑spot interviews
  • Explore real roles, from full‑time to part‑time and everything in between
  • Get in front of multiple companies in one go,  no chasing, no emailing into the void
  • Have a chance to interview on the spot

Bring your CV, dress like you mean business so you can go to your last job fair, and not another job fair.
