South Jersey Job Fair, Cherry Hill Mall

The 2026 South Jersey Job Fair returns to Cherry Hill Mall on May 15, filling the Nordstrom Corridor with local and regional employers recruiting across industries. Hosted by Donnelly Media in partnership with The Sun Newspapers, the event draws companies hiring for retail, healthcare, government, and service roles throughout Camden County and the broader Delaware Valley. Camden County is the Gold Sponsor, backing the event under its community hiring initiative. The fair runs a compact four-hour window, so arriving in the first hour gives you the best shot at fresh conversations before recruiters fill their appointment slots.

Date: May 15, 2026, 10:00 AM–2:00 PM Where: Cherry Hill Mall, Nordstrom Corridor, 2000 NJ-38, Cherry Hill, NJ 08002 Hosted by: Donnelly Media / The Sun Newspapers, with Camden County as Gold Sponsor Admission: Free

Philadelphia-area employers regularly recruiting at this event and active in the region right now include healthcare providers, retail chains, and government agencies. Pre-registration is encouraged through the event's registration platform; walk-ins are welcome.

Philadelphia Job Fair, Courtyard by Marriott City Avenue

Best Hire Career Fairs brings its next Philadelphia in-person hiring event to the Courtyard by Marriott on City Avenue on May 28. The format is open-floor: job seekers walk a room of employer tables, introduce themselves, and hold direct conversations with recruiters and hiring managers. Some employers use the event to conduct brief screening interviews on the spot, and strong candidates can leave with next-step interviews already scheduled. The event is free for all job seekers, and advance registration is strongly recommended because space is limited, walk-ins are allowed only if capacity permits.

Date: May 28, 2026, 11:00 AM–2:00 PM Where: Courtyard by Marriott Philadelphia City Avenue, 4100 Presidential Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19131 Hosted by: Best Hire Career Fairs Admission: Free (advance registration strongly recommended)

Philadelphia employers active in the metro and regularly recruiting at Best Hire events span logistics, customer service, finance, manufacturing, and technology sectors. The venue sits near the City Avenue corridor, accessible from Center City, University City, and the Northeast.

Philadelphia Career Fair, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown

Nationwide Career Fairs hosts a multi-employer career fair in Center City on June 4, 2026, connecting job seekers directly with recruitment teams and HR managers from Fortune 500 companies and regional employers. The event covers a wide cross-section of industries: sales, engineering, education, financial services, manufacturing, IT, accounting, and healthcare. Job seekers come professionally dressed for on-the-spot conversations; the organizer distributes a confirmed employer list to registered attendees roughly 72 hours before the event. Admission is free for job seekers. To receive the pre-event employer list, forward your resume, target city, and salary requirements directly to the organizer at hr@nationwidecareerfairs.com.
