Swag: we all love it. For employers, company swag and promotional items are essential to have when attending recruitment events and job fairs to connect with candidates. But attendees only have so much space at home — so what sort of swag will spark joy for potential candidates when they pick it up, so they don’t Marie Kondo-it away?
Below are 80+ examples of excellent recruiting event employer branding materials and swag from FindSpark employers that have recruited at our epic diversity recruitment event Hustle Summit.

Making a good impression at career fairs is, of course, not only about swag. Welcoming vibes and the sharing of insider information are two other important aspects of being memorable at events.

Employer Branding & Recruitment Promotional Materials
At a minimum, when recruiting at a career fair, you should have cards or handouts that share more information on what it’s like to work at your company, a sampling of open roles, and a link to your career page.
