The event is organised by online recruitment portal, JobStreet.com and AIC Events Sdn Bhd. 

AIC Events managing director William Ng expects more than 80,000 visitors this year. 

“The economy is showing strong signs of growth, and this is reflected in the overwhelming response we have received from employers in all sectors.  

“Some companies have booked booths as early as last year, and have been making preparations to ensure they get the best candidates at the fair,” Ng added. 

JobStreet.com marketing and business development vice-president Simon Si said they would be introducing a few JobStreet.com innovations, including the SMS job application and the career profile system.  

“One of our main goals this year is to attract more quality visitors, including candidates at senior management and professional level," he added.
