job fair
Hiring event showcase
A job fair is an event where employers and job seekers meet, typically held in a large venue like a convention center or gymnasium.
Companies set up booths to recruit candidates, and attendees move between them, submitting résumés and conducting brief interviews: I landed three callbacks from the job fair.
Also called a career fair.
