Making Your Company More Visible at a Job Fair?

Posted by Cliff on from the improve-your-visibility dept.

moszern asks: "The startup I work for is growing to the point where we are need to do some serious hiring. We are toying with the idea of setting up a booth at a upcoming local college job fair. For the most part it seems these events are all the same with nothing much distinguishing each company from the next. Have you ever been to a job fair where a company had a very unorthodox booth or way of attracting potential employees? What would you want to see at a job fair to grab your attention?"

    Sacks of money? I hear that works well to get people to work for you. But I must admit, that is just a hearsay.
