The first ever online careers fair has been launched in Ireland, giving jobseekers access to all the benefits of a job fair without leaving home.

Candidates can log on to LoadzaJobs.ie and seek information on salaries, view in-depth industry profiles, download company brochures, leave CVs, register for online courses, and search and apply for jobs with some of Ireland’s ‘great places to work’

Michael Wallace, commercial director of LoadzaJobs.ie, said: “For jobseekers, they can visit several companies without leaving their desk, and avoid running into the HR manager from their company at the next stand. The reaction to the event so far has been extremely positive among HR managers and employers.”
