Not only do they keep costs down, it gives a lot of credibility to the conference. For the first time I was on the other side of the career fair. I've never wanted a job at a big company so career fairs generally haven't interested me much. But, now on the other side, I see how useful they really are. It's the absolute best way to find people who not only want to work for you but you want as well! Most of the candidates you get from job posting on places like monster or workopolis are absolutely terrible. About the only way to hire is through recommendations. And that were CUSEC comes in. It perfectly matches up great candidates that want to work for a company (the other great people who aren't interested don't bother to apply) with the companies looking to hire them. So in the end it's win-win. Companies get the employees they're looking for (and they know it's much more likely the applicant is an employee they're looking for if they're applying at cusec) and the delegates get the opportunities they've been looking for.
