Spirit offers a variety of job fair options for qualifying employers who prefer to personally interview participants before making a final hiring decision.
Virtual Job Fairs
Virtual job fairs are available for employers who want to take advantage of the convenience of web-based interviews. Qualifying employers who hire 10 or more participants per season are invited to Spirit’s office in Chicago for candidate interviews, advanced employer training and to get to know Spirit’s office staff who work closely with employers and participants during the program. Employers may also choose to conduct web based interviews and make hiring decisions from the comfort of their own office with no minimum hiring requirement.
Here is how it works (click to show):
