Big rush at the employers' fair: 438 candidates in the Reuchlinhaus!

The 10th joint employer fair of the Pforzheim and Enzkreis job centers took place in the Reuchlinhaus in Pforzheim on June 26, 2025. Around 438 visitors came to find out about the numerous vacancies offered by 15 exhibitors. This event has established itself as a popular meeting place and some exhibitors were there for the first time, but were visibly pleased with the lively participation. What is particularly noteworthy is that many long-standing exhibitors were there again this year and have already confirmed their participation at the upcoming trade fair next year. This shows that the trade fair's concept of bringing people and employers together in a low-threshold way is working in the best possible way.

The organizers hope that these discussions will result in numerous integrations into working life.

But what was the trade fair like? The atmosphere was lively and open-minded. The visitors streamed into the exhibition hall promptly at 10 a.m. Here they were able to talk directly to personnel decision-makers and find out about working conditions, earnings and development opportunities. “It is a great opportunity for everyone who is looking for work, regardless of their qualifications or professional experience,” says Stephanie Schake, head of the Pforzheim job center, pforzheim-integriert.de. The high turnout and active participation of job center customers show the enormous need for such events.

Supportive conversations and contacts

The trade fair not only offered job seekers the opportunity to discover job offers, but also to submit applications directly on site. The job center employees were on site to support visitors in contacting the companies and to provide information about vacancies. “This is a real win for both sides,” emphasized Katja Kreeb, head of the Enzkreis’s social affairs department, in her opening words, which were also supported by Pforzheim’s social mayor Frank Fillbrunn, ws-pforzheim.de. The intensive interaction between employers and job seekers was clearly noticeable at the stands and contributed to networking.

With this positive feedback and the exhibitors' clear commitment to the next trade fair, it can be said that the employers' fair represents a successful platform for all participants. It offers a valuable opportunity to make it easier for job seekers to access potential employers and to actively promote integration into the labor market. The expectations are that many new employment contracts will continue to be concluded in the future, which will open up new perspectives for people. The successful concept invites you to further events and ensures that the exchange about jobs in the region continues.
