Bergen County, NJ — WorkOnward, a pioneering map-based hiring platform revolutionizing how small businesses connect with nearby talent, is proud to announce its partnership with Bergen County for an exclusive Job Fair on [Event Date]. This event aims to be a vital resource for job seekers and local businesses alike, streamlining the hiring process and opening doors to new opportunities for everyone involved.

The job fair comes at a critical time when businesses across the region are navigating the challenges of finding qualified talent, while job seekers are searching for local opportunities that align with their skills and career goals. By leveraging WorkOnward’s cutting-edge platform, the event will offer both employers and job seekers new ways to connect more efficiently, creating a smoother hiring process that benefits the entire community.

Why This Job Fair Stands Out 

As a platform designed with accessibility and inclusivity at its core, WorkOnward is reshaping the future of hiring. HR professionals, small business owners, and hiring managers can now find candidates within their local communities quickly and affordably, reducing the time and cost typically associated with hiring. This job fair will bring that mission to life, fostering critical connections that not only boost local employment but also support the growth of small businesses across Bergen County. 

In collaboration with Bergen County, this event is expected to attract hundreds of job seekers from diverse backgrounds, as well as a wide range of employers from industries such as retail, healthcare, technology, education, and more.

"WorkOnward is thrilled to collaborate with Bergen County to create opportunities that benefit both job seekers and businesses," said Holly Diamond, Founder and CEO of WorkOnward. "The hiring landscape is evolving rapidly, and our platform’s user-friendly interface allows companies to make faster, more informed hiring decisions while keeping costs low. This job fair will demonstrate how local businesses and candidates can benefit from more accessible hiring tools."

A Tailored Experience for All Participant  

The Bergen County Job Fair offers a unique experience compared to traditional events, providing both job seekers and employers with tailored opportunities designed to maximize results. Participants can expect a dynamic and engaging atmosphere where connections are made quickly and efficiently. Key offerings include:

- On-the-spot interviews with local businesses looking to fill positions immediately, allowing job seekers to secure offers without the typical wait.

- Hands-on workshops to teach job seekers how to fully leverage map-based hiring tools to find nearby opportunities, enhancing their chances of landing the right role.

- Career counseling services such as resume reviews, interview preparation, and personalized guidance for marginalized groups like veterans, immigrants, individuals with disabilities, and others who face employment barriers.

Bridging Employment Gaps in the Community  

Bergen County, like many regions, faces challenges related to employment gaps and workforce shortages in certain sectors. This job fair is strategically designed to address those gaps by: connecting qualified local talent with employers in need of their skills. It provides a crucial link between businesses struggling to fill vacancies and job seekers looking for meaningful, stable employment.

WorkOnward’s map-based hiring platform, which matches job seekers with nearby employers, is perfectly suited for this purpose. The platform allows job seekers to easily identify positions close to their homes, reducing transportation barriers and helping them find opportunities that fit their unique needs.

Empowering Businesses and Job Seekers Through Technology  

WorkOnward’s values of affordability, ease of use, and time-saving align perfectly with the needs of today’s job market. As Bergen County continues to grow, this job fair will be pivotal in creating meaningful connections, fostering local economic growth, and empowering both sides of the hiring process. With features like real-time updates, localized searches, and the ability to connect instantly, WorkOnward ensures that employers and job seekers get the most out of the hiring experience.

The job fair represents the kind of partnership that can make a lasting difference in the local economy. By leveraging technology to address common hiring challenges, WorkOnward is helping Bergen County remain competitive while also providing a platform for businesses to thrive and for job seekers to find sustainable employment.
