The Community Job Club, Inc., along with the Record Publishing Company, The RealMatch Job Network and the Akron General Wellness Center, will be sponsoring a job fair on Wednesday, May 2, from 9am – 2pm at the Akron General Health and Wellness Center - North, 4300 Allen Road, in Stow. This free event will be open to the public and will feature more than 25 local employers and staffing agencies.

How to Register
Booth space is limited, so if your company is interested in attending, please register today! Registrations received by April 13, will receive a $50 discount off the regular booth price of $425. Companies purchasing a booth at the job fair will also receive a “help wanted” ad that will run in all Record Publishing Company newspapers. The registration fee also includes an 8’ table with two chairs, access to an interview room, lunch for two staff members and eligibility to win great door prizes. Companies interested in learning more about purchasing a booth or job seekers wishing to register for the event may email their requests to helpwanted@recordpub.com. Proceeds from business sponsorships and employment booth registrations will benefit the Community Job Club, Inc. in Stow.

Not Your Typical Job Fair
This job fair differs from others in that a Total Talent Reach (TTR) package will be included to help employers post their job openings on more than 1,200 job search boards including: indeed.com, simplyhired.com and beyond.com. TTR uses RealMatch technology that matches candidates' resumes from within a database to a job posting, helping to find the most qualified individuals for any given position. Once at the job fair, a color-coding system will be used to designate which fields each company is looking to staff, helping to match job seekers with employers.
