Find your dream team at local job fair!

October 28, 2022

Local employers in Lisburn & Castlereagh have the opportunity to meet and connect with their ideal recruits at an upcoming Job Fair at Lagan Valley Island.

The in-person recruitment event, organised by Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council’s (LCCC) Labour Market Partnership (supported by the Department for Communities) will take place on Thursday 24th November from 10am to 3pm. The event hopes to help employers in the area recruit talented members of staff and fill job vacancies faster.

As an exhibitor, you’ll have the chance to showcase your job opportunities and speak directly with people who are currently seeking work or looking for their next career move.

The job fair will host a variety of employers from a wide range of sectors including hospitality, IT, customer service, construction and transport. Alderman Allan Ewart MBE, Chairman of LCCC’s Development Committee, urges local businesses to sign up:

“I encourage local employers to take full advantage of this fantastic recruitment opportunity. By meeting potential candidates in an informal setting, businesses can get a better sense of their career goals, skills and attributes – helping them find the perfect fit for their business.

“This is a chance for employers to sell themselves and flexible space will be provided to allow for demonstrations or interactive elements to take place when showcasing their business. Private interview areas will also be available.

“If you’re an employer planning to recruit for vacancies between November and February 2023, please register your interest before Thursday 3rd November 2022 at 5pm. We expect that this event will be oversubscribed, so make sure you apply now.”

Whether you’re looking to change jobs or seeking employment, come along to the job fair. With competitive salaries, excellent benefits, opportunities for promotion and an extensive learning and development programme, this recruitment event is not to be missed!

The job fair is supported by the Department for Communities. A full list of exhibitors will be made available online before the event.
