Calling All Businesses: Find Your New Employees at the Willow Grove Chamber's Job Fair Oct. 1

As the economy steadily begins improving, where can you find your newest employees? How about in your own backyard at the Job Fair sponsored by the Willow Grove Chamber of Commerce and State Rep. Tom Murt! The Job Fair is coming to the Williamson Banquet Hall in Horsham on Oct. 1 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and regional businesses are invited to exhibit and recruit new employees.

“Companies are constantly seeking new talent,” Willow Grove Chamber of Commerce President John DiMarzio said, “and a fresh crop of applicants is out there waiting to snap them up. The Job Fair is the place for them to find the right people to fill these opportunities.”

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released data on August 1 showing a steady increase of jobs over the past 12 months, with an average of 200,000 new jobs added each month. The most recent Job Fair in 2013 had a turnout of over 1,200 attendees who were all actively seeking new employment. As the economy turns around, don’t be left behind wishing you had an extra set of hands to help out. Participate in the Job Fair and you could have hundreds of applicants inquiring to be a part of your team.

The Job Fair is one of the Chamber’s most successfully attended events, which is why it’s been around continuously for years. With limited exhibitor spaces available, openings for this successful event fill up quickly.

You can sign up for one of the many exhibitor levels available, which starts with a budget-friendly exhibitor opportunity at $900, where you get a skirted table with electricity (if needed), a company listing in the Applicant’s Handbook, lunch for two, and pre-event publicity and advertising. Sponsorship options increase from there, topping off with the gold sponsor at $1,800, which includes advertisements, an extra-large booth and lunch. Chamber members can receive a discount on all the sponsorship opportunities available. For those companies seeking a basic table, a limited number will be available for $250 each.
