I have to agree with all the 1-3 star reviews here. The HireLive Career Fairs are a waste of time, gas, money and energy. I have gone to 4 now and they're all the same. No more than 10 companies for low paying, entry level, or scamy type commissioned based positions. Some are pricey private universities looking to recruit new students. read more

* HireLive job fair affords you the opportunities to meet with several companies both large and small in a more intimate setting where you can actually speak on one . It's a great way to meet companies you know and those that you're not familiar with and get to know more about them and their open positions. * You can always go to the website prior to the job fair to see who will be in attendance. Booklets are handed to you at the registration table of the companies and the positions that they are hiring for along with contact information for each company. Most companies come prepared to interview on the spot or schedule you to come into the office for an interview so always be prepared. * Event is setup so you can identify each company by their banner. HireLive require the attendees to come professionally dress and with plenty of resumes. * HireLive is one of the most impressive job fairs because of the companies have real positions they are hiring for and not just handing you a flier telling you to go apply online. These events are so necessary because it gives you an opportunity to work on your interviewing skills and to present a strong short conversation regarding your skillset. You will leave this hiring event with a sense of accomplishment. * It's a great networking opportunity because another attendee gave me information regarding a part-time opportunity while looking for fulltime employment. read more

Got a follow up from someone at HireLive. From their explanation they are a slave to the employers they represent as far as the information that they are given regarding the available positions. It made sense and I was impressed with their follow up. Still, the position that they had were well beneath the level that they represent. If you are looking for an entry level job exclusively this event might be worth it. read more

A woman named Leslie contacted me through email twice regarding a career position with a company she thought I would be interested in. Upon trying to contact her- the email was blocked and the phone number on her email would not go through. Her email also stated for me to offer her a resume which I was wondering how she got my information in the first place. There has been no communication at this point and obviously I'm moving on, but this seems to not be a real company so don't waste your time, possibly they are participating in identity theft? read more

Well....apparently they are hosting the event BUT HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE companies interviewing. The people of Hire Live should really tell Hershey to limit interview times to 15 min then schedule an indepth interview later. I have been in line since 11 am now 1 pm. Event was over 12:30. 3 people 30 min each, last guy 20. Min. 11 of us still waiting, others left. VERY UN PROFESSIONAL NOT TO RESPECT OUR TIME!!! read more

I attended a Job Fair in Long Beach in February. When I first arrived, I was greeted by someone at the front registration table and then encouraged to take time to meet with every company at the event. There were about 10 companies in attendance, I worked my way around each table and left copies of my resume with each Hiring Manager. I was very appreciative to have the opportunity to meet with multiple companies all in one day. I also was able to get business cards from some of the companies at the event and intend on following up in the upcoming weeks. read more

Attended the HireLive Job Fair in Orange County in June. I had received emails regarding the event and thought I would check it out. Went to the event and met with about 6 of the 10 companies that were present. Left my resume at the company tables and collected business cards to follow-up with! read more

Attending the HireLive event in Fresno recently included companies like Covered California, FCI Mendota, CA Department of Corrections, Census and DeVry University. Each professional from these companies offered information that was helpful for obtaining employment opportunities. Candidates came prepared with great resumes and dressed for success. I would recommend attending. Hope to see everyone at next event. read more

I have used HireLive for all my career fairs. I am continually impressed with the high quality candidates that attend their events. I have found the Best Talent! Scott and Paige take very good care of my team and are quick to provide me with anything I need. I am so grateful they made something dificult so easy read more

I know that they are hired by those companies so they can head hunt employees, but it's not worth it. I attended the job fair in LA. They had Small companies that didn't offer base pay, that all have terrible reviews on glass door. Find a job fair with more serious companies. read more

These guys are great. I have personally connected quite a few companies with Dan and he has found the time to make sure they are completely taken care of while running these events. All of my experience is with the OC and LA job fairs, but I know they have events all around the US. read more

I had a client use Hirelive to help find some New Salespeople in San Francisco. Previously they were paying recruiting firms, and wasting a bunch of time interrupting their day with random interviews. This way they could set aside a half a day and interview with at least 20 qualified candidates. A much more efficient way to hire for the sales position. read more

Hirelive is awesome! I attended a career fair in Orange County and it was well organized, informative and well worth my time. Even now, the company is still in touch with me and making sure I am enjoying my new career. Especially Steve Oprian. He has been helping me with my recent career decisions for no reason other than to be a good person. This is a good company and I gave them five stars for a reason! read more

I recently attended the San Diego event and I was very pleased to see how many good quality companies where at the event. All the hiring managers stood outside their hotel door to greet candidates. I interviewed with a couple companies and collected their business cards. I look forward to setting up second interviews with these companies. I highly recommend attending these events! read more

Skip these events and focus your employment search online or with other job fairs. They advertise companies that aren't even in the job fair, or tell you they are in a different job fair city. Bait and switch. The other reviewer was right about the Hershey experience. The person that was interviewing for Hersheys when 3 of us went wasn't even an employee of Hersheys. It was a person with the job fair group to collect resumes. i found out Hersheys wasn't even hiring in that city and hasn't for a few months. this looks to be the way they get more people to attend to see the other companies that don't draw anyone. I tried 3 of their events and they were all dead. Waste of time. read more

I attended an event in KCMO and it was on Veterans day and there were only 9 employers there. It was a complete waste of time. They should post more info so a person has data to know if this is the event they need to attend or not. This was a NOT. They don't let you post negatives or I would. read more

Went to the event today up in La Jolla and I have to say this was a total waste of time. Not one company that they advertised was there. This is basically a cattle call for "SALES" work, not one company was interested in talking to you if you were looking for administrative work. We watched a young lady being turned away from this event because she had on "dark denim" jeans on. She looked amazing and extremely tailored but wasn't allowed to enter the venue. These people need to be far more informative in their information and let potential attendees know that this is not the place for upper level administrative work. read more

Dress code??? I drove 50 minutes for nothing. They said I cannot get in because I was using dark jeans. I said to this guy there's no dress code required for this job fair, and I registered in your website before and there's nothing there. I just checked again and there's nothing there again. This is the second and last time ever that I will attend this f. job fair from HireLive. The website doesn't work properly, you are not able to upload your resume because of the erros on the PHP code line. I tried to contact they through email and I got another wrong code on the PHP line. read more

Totally deceptive advertising. This place has been operating this way for years. They will tell you that these big name companies will be in attendance, however, what they don't tell you is that the jobs they are hiring for are entry level or below. I'm talking, high school level education, (GED) in some instances! Unless you are willing to take a job making minimum pay with no benefits of any kind, just look online or apply to a company you are interested in directly. Don't waste your time at one of these events. Of course, if you are better educated and actually do some research like reading yelp, you will have figured this out already. These job fairs will appeal to those looking to make the "huge leap" from burger flipper to the corporate world. read more

This was a waste of my precious time. I was scheduled for an interview, but turned down due to an assessment test I failed. The test seemed easy, but it was very complex. Don't waste your time people. read more

I have attended a couple of HireLive events and was very impressed at how well these events were run. Each company had their own private suite to conduct interviews, as well as proper signage to make each one very indentifiable. All the hiring managers were outside conducting small interviews as us, the potential candidates passed by and than taking us into the suite for more extensive interviews if we seemed qualified. I was really impressed at the dress attire of the candidates and how professional everything seemed. This was a far cry from the general job fairs that I have attended, where the dress code is somewhat thrown out the window. It was very easy to register and there were plenty of companies there. It was also nice to have a job fair where there is a specified genre. I have been to many general events before and the companies were all over the place, it seemed like a free for all, whereas at HireLive, they streamlined their events towards sales, retail, customer service and management. I have read some of the other comments that others have left and am really confused! The events that I attended had a majority of the Fortune 100 in attendance. Companies like Johnson & Johnson, Verizon, Ricoh, Monster, Konica Minolta, and Time Warner. Not to mention, there were probably about 21 companies in attendance. Also, the people that ran the event really explained in depth how these work and how to utilize the event as not only a hiring event, but also a networking event because these are all ther hiring managers in attendance. I would recommend that anyone looking for a hiring event attend a HireLive event, THEY ARE FREE, its a win-win for all. read more
