The app for a career fair or recruiting event
This page is for the organiser of the fair, not for the recruiter working a stand. That distinction decides whether event67 fits, so it is the first thing on the page rather than a caveat near the end.
A planning figure for a university or regional career fair. Past 1,000 activated candidates, the cost stops rising.
Written for the organizer, not the recruiter
A career fair app carries the employer list, the talks and workshops programme, the arrival check-in and the announcements for a recruiting event. event67 provides those under the organiser's own brand. It does not collect CVs, does not scan candidates into a recruiter's applicant tracking system, and does not schedule interviews, which are the three things employers most often expect.
An employer list candidates can search before they arrive
Employers appear as tier-ordered pages with logos, descriptions and websites, which is what a sponsorship or stand package usually buys. A candidate browsing that list the night before arrives with a shortlist rather than walking the hall at random, and that is the single biggest improvement an app makes to a fair.
A talks programme alongside the hall
Most fairs now run panels, CV clinics and employer presentations in parallel with the stands. These sit in the schedule with rooms and speakers, and clinics with limited places use server-enforced capacity with automatic waitlist promotion.
Arrivals you can actually count
QR check-in with a live arrivals count. For an organiser selling stands next year, an accurate attendance figure is the commercial asset, and a repeat scan returning already checked in handles candidates who come and go across a day.
One channel that reaches a hall
A talk moved, a queue closed, a late employer cancellation. Push announcements deep-link to the affected item, which is the only reliable way to reach eighteen hundred people spread across a hall and three seminar rooms.
A fair, from registration to renewals
Registration closes
Import candidates
Candidate registration runs in your own system, because event67 does not sell tickets or take registrations. Export, import as CSV, and send branded invites with delivery tracked per recipient.
Uses the branded app and branded invites with delivery tracking.
The week before
Publish employers and the programme
Employers as tier-ordered pages, talks and clinics as sessions. Publishing early is what turns attendance into preparation, and it is what employers are really paying for.
Uses employer pages and the programme.
Doors
Check-in at the entrance
Scan the QR pass, count arrivals live. This number is the one that appears in next year's exhibitor prospectus, so it is worth getting from a scan rather than an estimate.
Uses check-in.
Through the day
Clinics, talks and changes
CV clinics with real capacity and waitlists. Push announcements for the changes. Candidates star the talks they want and their own day pins to the top.
Uses push announcements.
After
The report employers will ask for
Activation against the registered list, which sessions filled, and the ratings candidates gave them. Combined with your own gate figures, that is the pack that renews stands.
Uses analytics.
Preparing a career fair app
Five steps, and the first one is the whole risk of the project.
Tell employers what they are buying in writing
A listing and visibility, not a scanner and not CVs. Put it in the exhibitor pack. This single sentence is the difference between a successful fair and a room of annoyed recruiters.
Create the event and brand it
The fair's own identity across every screen, under the organiser's name.
Load employers as tier-ordered pages
Matching the stand packages you actually sold.
Build the talks and clinics programme
With real capacities on anything one-to-one. Server-enforced, waitlist promoted.
Import candidates and invite
CSV from your registration system, delivery tracked per recipient.
What an 1,800-candidate fair costs
Eighteen hundred candidates activate. Fifty are free, and because the per-event price stops rising at a thousand activated attendees, the last eight hundred candidates cost nothing.
- activated attendees
- 1,800activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 950billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5.00 each
- $4,750for the whole event, at $5.00 each
Candidates who register and do not attend never activate, and registration no-show rates at free career fairs are famously high.
The recruiting machinery event67 does not have
This is the longest gap list on this family and it decides most evaluations. An employer expecting a scanner will be disappointed by every part of it.
- No CV or resume collection, hosting or distribution.
- No lead retrieval or badge scanning for employers. QR connections are candidate to candidate and never reach an applicant tracking system.
- No interview scheduling, no 1:1 booking and no matchmaking between candidates and employers.
- No job postings, applications or candidate profiles beyond the standard attendee profile.
- No badge printing and no floor plan of the hall.
- No ticketing, registration or payments.

What it costs
- Free up to 50
- activated attendees, on one live event
- $5
- per activated attendee beyond 50
- $4,750
- the most one event can ever cost, whatever happens past 1,000
Activated means the person claimed their invite and opened the app. Not when you import them, not when the invite is delivered, and not if they register and stay home.
Questions people actually ask
Can employers scan candidates and collect CVs?
No. There is no CV collection, no lead retrieval, no badge scanning and no applicant tracking integration. This is the most important sentence on this page. If your employer packages promise candidate data capture, you need a dedicated recruiting-event platform alongside or instead of event67.
Can candidates book interview slots?
No. There is no interview scheduling, no 1:1 booking and no matchmaking. Candidates browse employer pages and attend talks; the conversations happen at the stand.
What does the app actually give employers, then?
A tier-ordered page with a logo, description and website, visible to every registered candidate before and during the fair, and the ability to sponsor talks. For many organisers that is exactly what the package was, and stating it plainly is what makes it work.
What does it cost for a fair with 6,000 candidates?
The same as a fair with 1,000 activated candidates. The per-event price stops there, and candidates beyond that are free. Given typical no-show rates, the number you are billed on is usually well below your registration count.
Is there a floor plan of the hall?
No. There is no interactive map or wayfinding. For a large hall, plan for printed maps and clear signage; the app helps candidates decide who to visit, not how to walk there.
