Best one so far. Venue was wonderful, candidate pool was diverse and expansive. Excellent event -- well organized, well staffed.

Chicago Career Fair -- Government Recruiter

Chicago -- Army E-4

Bigger turn out than a general job fair. Received many qualified candidates and a decent amount of applicants.
