Career fairs have long been the go-to for connecting employers with students and young job seekers—but times are changing. Young job seekers expect more than a booth and a brochure. They’re digital-first, purpose-driven, and seeking opportunities that align with their values and goals. So how do you connect with the next generation of workers without setting up at another high school gymnasium or campus event?
CareerPathway.com offers a smarter, scalable, and more engaging way to reach emerging talent—and it all starts online. Here are four easy ways your business can start attracting young job seekers today, no folding table required.
Young job seekers want authenticity. That means your company’s online presence should reflect your culture, values, and opportunities—not just corporate buzzwords. With a free CareerPathway.com profile, businesses can showcase who they are through videos, photos, employee stories, and content that resonates.
Pro Tip: Add a short video from a current team member or share “a day in the life” of a role you’re hiring for. It builds trust and humanizes your brand.
Young job seekers aren’t just looking for a job—they’re looking for a direction. Use CareerPathway.com to post career pathways, which map out potential growth within your company. When you show how someone can enter, grow, and succeed in your organization, you turn a single job listing into a long-term opportunity.
Why it matters: This signals to young job seekers that your business invests in development and offers more than just a paycheck—it offers a future.
Every video, opportunity, and pathway you post on CareerPathway.com can be tagged by industry, skill, and career category. This helps the right students find you—based on their interests and the content they engage with. When your posts are properly tagged, they appear on users’ dynamic resumes as “claimed” interests, connecting your brand with real-time exploration.
Think of it like SEO for talent discovery. Tag smart, and you'll show up in all the right searches.
Young job seekers consume content quickly—and they expect it to be relevant and engaging. CareerPathway.com allows businesses to post short videos and messages that introduce roles, share tips, or offer behind-the-scenes glimpses into your workplace. This is your chance to stand out.
