Startup Riot Career Fairs make hiring and getting hired better.
Want updates?
Why should I attend as a job seeker?
If you really want to work in a dynamic, exciting environment our career fairs will be the place to find those kinds of jobs. But if you want to live in cubicle purgatory, that’s okay too. Ginormous, Inc. needs people like you and we need people to fill those jobs so the rest of us can do more exciting gigs.
Why should I attend to recruit for a startup?
If you are frustrated by a lack of quality or lack of fit with the applications you receive, you need our career fair. Our event isn’t about quantity, it is about quality. Although we get a large number of job seekers who apply for our events, we may invite as few as half of the applicants. Why? We want only the best candidates at our event and those who fit the culture and philosophy of startups. Plus, we want job seekers and recruiters to walk away from the day happy and satisfied that it was time well spent.
Recruiting startups must apply and pay the nominal fee to participate and recruit at the event.
The fee for participating employers is $350 for all cities except Atlanta which is $250 and San Francisco which is $500. Fairs will generally run from 9AM until 1PM unless we have an unusually large number of hiring startups and job seekers in which case we will extend the hours.
NOTE: Startups selected to participate in the career fair are not any more likely to present at a Startup Riot event. You do not need to apply to present at a Startup Riot event in order to recruit at the career fair.
Can I just show up for the career fair?
No - if you are not pre-registered and pre-cleared to attend the career fair, you will not be permitted to attend.
Is there any cost to attend the career fair?
Approved job seekers will pay a refundable attendance fee. If you apply, pay, get approved, and show up - we’ll give you all your money back and we’ll both do a happy dance. But if you apply, pay, get approved, and don’t show up - we keep your money. But we’ll be sad about that. We don’t want to keep your money. Help us and make sure that doesn’t happen by only applying to attend if you intend to come.
When do applications to attend open?
Applications for recruiting startups are open now.
Applications for job seekers will open up approximately thirty days prior to each recruiting event.
When is the deadline to apply to attend?
Due to constraints on printing badges, programs, etc. we will stop accepting job seeker applications about 5 days before each career fair. Hiring startup applications will end approximately 7 days before each career fair.
