How to Search for Employers in FairMapr
Use the search bar to quickly find employers.
You can search by:
- employer name
- Keyword (based on employer description)
As you type, results will update automatically and highlight matching booths on the map. Tip: Try broad keywords first, then narrow down.
How to Filter Employers
Filters help you find vendors that match your goals.
Career Fair filters include the majors an employer is looking to hire for.
How to use filters effectively:
- Select one or two filters to start
- Filters use an “OR” logic for filtering. The more filters you apply, the larger the number of employers that will likely be displayed.
- Review the results
- Adjust or add filters as needed
Using too many filters at once may show extra employers.
