Where community and hiring meet.
The event is where the connection starts. What happens after is what sets CME apart.
CME Events supports job fairs, festivals, community gatherings, and trade shows — with two optional campaign extensions that keep momentum going long after the day is over.
Why events matter
A profile shows what someone has done. An event shows who they are. Face-to-face connection creates a different kind of trust — one that a resume or a video alone can rarely replicate.
For employers, events surface candidates who are actively present in the community. For jobseekers, they open doors that don't exist in a standard job search. For organizers, they create a measurable moment of economic activity.
CME makes that moment the beginning of something longer — not a one-day transaction.
The Live Event
On the day, CME provides the infrastructure for check-ins, connections, and real-time engagement.
Attendee check-in
QR-based check-in for jobseekers and vendors. Attendance tracked automatically.
Employer booths
Employers manage their booth presence, post active jobs, and connect with attendees.
Direct connections
Jobseekers express interest; employers flag candidates they want to follow up with.
Live ballots
Attendees earn ballots for participating — fuelling the community stage if activated.
Vendor & sponsor management
Organizers manage vendors, sponsors, and promotion assignments from one dashboard.
Prize draws
Sponsors and organizers can run draws tied to check-in or activity milestones.
Two optional campaign extensions
Organizers and employers choose how far they want to take it. Neither is required — both are available.
7-Day Hiring Week
Focused post-event hiring
A focused 7-day window after the event for employers to act on the connections they made. Applications open, interviews get scheduled, and KindHire ensures every candidate hears back.
21-Day Campaign
Full community activation
The full activation model. Extends the event into a community campaign with hiring, connection building, local business engagement, prizes, and measurable outcomes.
Event Types
CME supports six event formats. Each one can run as a standalone day or with either campaign extension.
Job Fair
Employers meet candidates in person. Booths, interviews, and direct connections.
Community Event
Neighbourhood activations that bring local employers, residents, and services together.
Specials Week
Local businesses run exclusive deals and promotions — employers included.
Festival
Large-scale events with vendors, sponsors, entertainment, and hiring activity.
Trade Show
Industry-specific gatherings for professional networking and direct recruitment.
Networking Event
Smaller, focused gatherings designed to build professional relationships.

Every event builds the district
Every check-in, every hire made through an event, every employer who shows up and follows through — that activity becomes part of your district's hiring record.
Employer subscriptions fund community programs. The more employers participate in your district, the closer it gets to the next reinvestment tier. See how the Community Impact Engine works →
