With graduate vacancies up 20% compared to pre-pandemic levels, competition for the best graduates is building.
This autumn , there’s a time-efficient way to meet and engage with candidates looking for their first or next graduate role.
The Graduate Job Show™ is an exclusive online event created just for graduates and future graduates looking for jobs in and around the UK. It’s a superb opportunity to meet highly motivated candidates and showcase your company’s graduate opportunities.
-
Who will you meet?
The Graduate Job Show™ is for anyone serious about finding a great graduate position. It’s the place to meet graduates who:
- Graduated recently or longer ago and are looking for their first graduate position.
- Are already in a graduate role but feel it’s time to find a more suitable position.
- Will be graduating in the next year and are proactively seeking a great role.
-
When is it ?
The Graduate Job Show™ is being held online on 19th October 2023, from 11am to 4pm. You will of course be able to set up post-show calls or meetings with any candidates that you don’t have time to connect with on the day itself.
To find out more, please contact us – telephone: (01733) 555163 or email caroline@thejobshow.com

How does it work?
As an exhibiting employer, you have your own Exhibitor Booth in the main Exhibition Hall. This is where you can upload your Virtual Swag Bag of company information, documents and videos. It’s your chance to showcase your company and outline the types of roles you need to fill and the candidates you are looking for.
Candidates will be encouraged to visit the Exhibitor Booths and reach out to employers of interest., But you can be proactive, too. You’ll have access to searchable profiles of all the attendees and connect directly with candidates of interest.
Once a connection is made, simply book the candidate into one of your meeting slots through the built-in appointment calendar. You can chat to candidates one-to-one by online text tools, or voice or video calls.
You can also run live webinars or group chats or calls, where you can communicate with several candidates at a time. Then you can connect individually with any that are of particular interest – either on the day or after the show. The ability to export data on who you meet makes this especially easy.
You will of course be fully briefed on how the virtual show system works ahead of the show. There will also be a support desk open throughout the show for technical help should you need it.

Why exhibit at The Graduate Job Show™ ?
Here are ten great reasons to join us at the show:
- Targeted. You’ll connect only with graduates or future graduates who are actively seeking roles in the London area.
- Time-efficient. In less than a day, you’ll meet great graduate candidates without having to attend multiple events across London’s 80+ universities.
- No travelling. Attend wherever you are – all you need is a desktop or laptop.
- Teamwork. Up to five individuals from your organisation can attend and communicate with candidates. You could set up a rota, or create a multi-disciplinary team so you can engage with candidates across different fields/specialities.
- Flexibility. You have the option of taking a break at any point during the day and re-joining to pick up where you left off.
- Less hassle. Unlike traditional job fairs, you won’t have the time and cost of preparing a stand, display materials and printed collateral.
- Make an impression. Through your Exhibitor Booth and communications with candidates, you’ll create a positive impression and build new relationships.
- Build your talent pool. Create connections with graduates who you can keep in touch with well beyond the day of the show; perfect if you meet great candidates who aren’t currently a fit for roles but may be of interest in the future.
- Go beyond university activity. Some universities work hard to connect graduates with employers, but some don’t. The Graduate Job Show™ will let you connect with candidates that you may otherwise struggle to reach.
- Organised by recruitment show specialists. We have over seven years’ experience of running and promoting award-winning jobs shows across the UK. In 2021 we brought our track record and experience to online events.
