2025 Career Expo

The City of Austin is hosting its 14th Annual Career Expo on April 2, 2025. This event is intended to help build a stronger community by providing opportunities for local employers to connect with talent to fill critical vacancies and help job seekers find that perfect job/career opportunity.

Job Seekers will have opportunities to meet face-to-face with company representatives. This year, the City launched a new contingent hiring pilot program in January which allows departments to conduct interviews and extend contingent job offers on-site during recruiting events. There are close to 90 different job titles included in the program in areas such as accounting, customer service, finance, human resources, healthcare, engineering, and various operations type jobs. 

Several City departments will be participating in Career Expo and there will be opportunities for job seekers in attendance to be interviewed on the spot during the event and potentially be offered a job. Any offers would be contingent upon passing any required background checks and assessments.

Showcase presentations by local employers will also be happening throughout the day during the event and will feature tips for job seekers. We encourage job seekers to bring copies of their resume to share with prospective employers and decide in advance which employer booths they would like to visit. 

More than 100 employers are expected to be in attendance, including private employers, state agencies, higher education, technical schools, temporary agencies, many smaller businesses with skilled labor and customer service job openings, and City of Austin departments.
