Big Changes in 2013

The recruiting world has changed with the times and now Women For Hire will, too.

Going forward, we will focus exclusively on Nationwide Online Career Fairs.

Our decision is based on extensive research and feedback from both job seekers and employers. The future of recruiting is online for a variety of reasons: online events are simpler to arrange, neither recruiters nor job seekers have to travel and since there are no venue fees, they’re more cost effective.

We have a good track record on predicting trends: 13 years ago, until Women For Hire was founded, no one featured career expos devoted to women. We are still the go-to destination for smart and savvy women who are interested in connecting with top employers.
