Open Interview Day is not a traditional job fair.
On April 23, local businesses will open their doors and welcome job seekers directly into their workplaces for focused hiring conversations. This initiative is designed to strengthen our local workforce, create meaningful employer-candidate connections, and showcase real career opportunities available right here in our community.
By sponsoring Open Interview Day, your business demonstrates a commitment to workforce development, economic growth, and keeping talent local. Your support helps promote the event, connect employers with qualified candidates, and build momentum around hiring in Effingham County.
Together, we can encourage job seekers to explore what’s available in their own backyard and help businesses connect with the people who will drive their future success.
