2017 Career Fair

Employers

The 2017 Annual Meeting Career Center and activities provides the employers with the opportunity to meet and collect resumes from numerous job seekers in a short period of time, early in the meeting, and can schedule and set-up private interviews later in the meeting.

When you participate in the Career Center activities at the Annual Meeting, you will raise the visibility of your organization with meeting participants, who span the gamut of interested job seekers from highly seasoned professionals in the academic or industrial space to freshly minted PhD’s and masters students just entering the workforce. All Career Fair events will be widely advertised, not only to job seekers already signed up in INFORMS Career Center, but also to professionals and students attending the meeting.

  • Provide your recruitment materials in a fun and energetic Career Fair-type setting
  • Schedule your own on-site interviews at reserved tables or interview booths
  • Promote your organization and meet highly qualified, diverse candidates
