Why exhibit at the Philadelphia Virtual Job Fair

Greater Philadelphia is the 10th-largest tech metro in the United States, with tech roles representing roughly 3.7% of the region's total workforce. While the city center hosts strong R&D and biotech-tech crossover, the heaviest concentration of working tech talent lives in Montgomery, Chester and Delaware counties — over 21,000 in Montgomery County alone. The Philadelphia Virtual Career Fair on Sep 15, 2026 brings this distributed talent pool into one live, browser-based hiring event.

  • Pipeline from Penn, Drexel, Temple, Villanova, West Chester and Bryn Mawr STEM programs
  • Median tech salary nationally $105,990 (BLS May 2024) — Philadelphia generally tracks 5-10% below NYC/Boston, attractive employer arbitrage

FAQ — Tech at the Philadelphia Virtual Job Fair

How many tech candidates typically attend the Philadelphia event?

Our Greater Philadelphia events typically pre-register 200-400 candidates in computer and IT occupations, of which roughly 60% attend live. You can see total registrations updated weekly inside your employer dashboard.

Can I filter candidates by tech stack?

Yes. Candidates self-report their primary skills (Python, Java, React, AWS, etc.), seniority and target salary on registration. You filter live before inviting them to a 1-on-1.

Do you support coding interviews during the event?

Most exhibitors run a 5-10 minute screening conversation and schedule a technical follow-up. We integrate with HackerRank / CoderPad via shared link if you want to run a quick exercise inside the booth.

What is the cost vs posting on Indeed or LinkedIn?

Booth packages start at $150 (standard) and go up to $500 (premium) per event — a fraction of what a single week of LinkedIn Recruiter or an in-person booth would cost, with live conversations and pre-registered local talent instead of inbox spam.

Can my hiring manager and recruiter share the booth?

Yes. Standard packages include up to 3 booth staff, premium packages up to 8. They can split candidates in parallel chat queues.
