LAS VEGAS – The Opportunity Boulevard Job Fair – a career fair that actively attracts out-of-market jobseekers to Nevada jobs – will take place Thursday, Aug. 23, from 12:30-4:30 p.m. at Green Valley Ranch Resort – located at 2300 Paseo Verde Parkway, just off Interstate 215 and Green Valley Parkway.
Las Vegas-based Recruiting Nevada, in partnership with The News, Greenspun Media Group, In Business Las Vegas, Nevada Broadcasters Association and AARP Nevada, has made it its goal to be the driving force in a serious effort to solve Nevada’s critical employment shortage.
“The efforts of all the partners involved have made every one of our job fairs to date a success, and we’re looking forward to attracting even more people to our next fair in August,” said Doug Geinzer, founder and president of Recruiting Nevada, which has attracted out-of-state employees to Nevada for the last 15 years.
Marketed by Recruiting Nevada, the three job fairs in 2007 combined have attracted more than 8,500 jobseekers – over 1,950 of which came to Nevada from out-of-state – to learn about employment opportunities in Nevada.
“Everyone is working together to make this effort a success,” Geinzer said. “This isn’t just a partnership between a few companies that are sponsoring these fairs. All of the businesses that show their support through setting up a booth, talking with potential employees and even hiring them, are just as important in the effort to recruit quality employees to Nevada jobs.”
Meant to reduce cannibalization of one another’s talent within Nevada, attract the right people to fill open Nevada jobs, and help trailing spouses and family members of those relocating to Nevada find jobs, the fairs take place four times each year and will continue to target out-of-state professionals and older workers.
