Job Fairs

Have you ever considered job fairs or networking events as a way to attract immigrant talent? In person or online, many employers find job fairs one of the most successful ways to recruit newcomers who are seeking employment. These events provide opportunities to connect directly with local agencies and share job openings. And, if your company is large enough, consider hosting your own event. Be sure to advertise the event on your company’s Facebook page as well as on other relevant social media in the region.

Working NB	Working NB provides support in recruiting candidates, writing job postings, and accessing job fairs and job banks.
City of Moncton	The city of Moncton organizes the Greater Moncton Newcomer Job Fair several times a year to connect newcomers and international students to jobs.

“When recruiting immigrants, we try our best to refer candidates to the programs offered by Working NB. When we have a specific candidate that we feel could benefit from one of the programs, we provide the contact information and let them know the services are there to guide them through the steps required to get qualified to work in our province, particularly in their field of expertise.”
