What is the Manchester Job Show
The Manchester Job Show is one of the city largest careers fair in the region. The job show started in 2023 with 3 dates across the year and has historically been held at the Trafford Centre and is returning in March. Past events were held in ‘The Orient’, taking up large portions of the food hall with stalls for exhibitors, with talks on the large stage and areas around the exhibitors for on the day interviews.
The Manchester Job Show is run by JS Media who host job shows like these in London, Milton Keynes, and Bristol. You can find a link to all of their job shows and the 2024 show dates here
The Manchester Job Shows success
Last year we had the pleasure of attending the Manchester Job Show and we loved it. We had the opportunity to speak to a lot of applicants on the way to and at the event as well as having insightful talks with the exhibitors on how JIM – Jobs in Manchester can help their businesses when it comes to promoting Jobs in the Greater Manchester area.
Last year we saw a wide range of exhibitors from a variety of industries, and too our surprise the roles they were looking to fill had very lenient entry requirements as most roles provided training and plans for career progression. Many of the employers were looking for long term employees and would rather train staff internally than spend more money and time attempting to hire someone who already meets the requirement and or experience.
Who is the Manchester Job Show for?
Manchester Job Show Applicants – Looking to Visit?
The job show is a free event for applicants, for anyone looking for a new job, training opportunity, or even an apprenticeship. This is a great opportunity to speak directly to employers and people of influence when it come to applying with these businesses. With direct access to hiring managers, applicants can pick their brains, make an impression and even interview on the day.
The Manchester Job Show advertises itself best: “you can meet a selection of the region’s best employers all in one visit. The event will be full with employers from a wide variety of industries. Thousands of jobs and courses will be available. Many employers will be interviewing candidates there and then. Some employers will be booking in candidates to interviews for the week after the event.”

Manchester Job Show Employers – Looking to Exhibit?
We encourage employers looking to grow and fill roles locally to exhibit or at least show interest in exhibiting. It is worth a shot and allows you as an employer face to face exposure with applicants. The recruitment and hiring process can be expensive and all of this expense is before meeting the applicants. What looks good on paper may not end up being a fit for your business.
Below we have a graphic from JS Media on the benefits of exhibiting at one of their shows.
