Testimonials

What exhibitors are saying about the fairs.
  • "We have participated in the Recruit in Canada Fairs since 2009, and have found them to be an effective way to reach quality students in Canada for our medical programs. The fairs are well organized, and the Recruit in Canada/SchoolFinder team members are professional, friendly, and flexible. Students who come to our booth are serious and focused, and the seminars allow us to spend quality time with focused leads."
    Michelle Smith
    Executive Administrator/Registrar, Avalon University School of Medicine
  • "The National University of Ireland Galway has participated in several of the Recruit in Canada events. These fairs have provided us with a convenient opportunity to reach a large number of potential students in a range of cities across Canada. The fairs themselves are well organised and the organisers have always been happy to work with us to improve our outreach efforts in Canada."
    Conor Hanley
    NUI Galway, Ireland
  • "We have been participating in Recruit in Canada fairs for over 10 years. Highly motivated students, excellent attendance, and quality leads are what you can expect. What we enjoy most about the fairs is the ability to speak 1:1 with prospects, including their parents, to see if our school is the right fit. The Recruit in Canada team is well-organized and friendly; I highly recommend exhibiting with them."
    Peter Baumgart
    Admissions Representative, Le Cordon Bleu Ottawa
  • "The Law School at Queen’s University Belfast has participated in the Recruit in Canada for the last number of years. We have found the fairs to be very useful in recruiting excellent quality students for our range of law programmes and would recommend any potential exhibitor to sign up. The events are very well attended and professionally organised."
    Heather Kinning
    School of Law, Queen's University Belfast (Ireland)
  • "Recruit in Canada Fairs are a great opportunity for institutions across the world to reach out to qualified and dedicated students who are exploring opportunities to study overseas. The fairs are well organised and their success is a testament to the professionalism and hard work of the team organising them."
    Ravi Daga
    University of Wollongong (Australia)
  • "The Recruit in Canada Fair was my very first recruitment experience and it provided me with a great learning opportunity for future fairs. The fair was well organized and the staff provided outstanding services to the vendors. Yes, I would definitely recommend Recruit in Canada."
    Saba Kazmi
    International Student Center Chaffey College (USA)
  • "The very international orientation of the students visiting the Recruit in Canada Fairs has been a major plus, both in terms of making new connections and actually helping the students understand the Dutch higher education system. Because of a well-targeted young and eager audience brought in by the Recruit in Canada team, our main message came across well."
