Walk in ready — candidates who prepare leave with interviews.

Dress the part
Business professional or neat business casual. Skip the graphic tees; recruiters are evaluating first impressions in the first ten seconds.
Bring 10–15 printed resumes
Print more than you think you need. Conversations end faster when you can leave a resume on the table.
Prepare a 30-second pitch
Who you are, what you have done, what you want next. Practice it until it sounds like a conversation, not a script.
Research 5 employers before you arrive
Check the exhibitor list above, note the roles that fit, and walk straight to those tables first.
Collect names and follow up
Ask for the recruiter’s name or card and send a short thank-you note within 24 hours.

Direct face-to-face screening, verified QR attendance and turn-key ballroom booth setup.

Face-to-face screening — meet candidates in person instead of filtering resumes.
Verified QR attendance — accurate foot-traffic counts for your team.
Turn-key booth — 6ft draped table, two chairs and a wastebasket at Handlery Hotel San Diego.
Pre-event promotion — your open roles go out to our registered candidate list.
