The 2009 Yorkshire Autumn Graduate Recruitment Fair took place on Tuesday 3rd and Wednesday 4th November.  It was slightly different in that it was a two-day generic event, rather than the more focussed option that we are taking this year.

4208 visitors attended over the two days (day one: 2231,  day two: 1977) meeting with 162 organisations (day one: 82, day two: 80), and careers service staff from the two institutions.

• Final-year students - 42%
• Postgraduate students - 23%
• Graduates - 10%
• Students in earlier years of study - 25%

"This was our first real effort on the Recruitment Fair circuit and we found it an excellent vehicle to recruit high calibre, enthusiastic and creative individuals. We have had over 300 applicants so far and they are still coming through. We will be back next year!"

"The Sheffield Career fair is one of the most successful and prosperous that CIPFA attends each year. The helpers are extremely polite and the events are very well organised."
