Refugee Job Fair in Jordan

Amman, Jordan | 9-10 March, 2023

About the event

As part of the Global Refugee Labour Mobility Summit, TBB is excited to host a Refugee Job Fair in Amman, Jordan on 9-10 March, 2023 alongside Fragomen. It will be supported by UNHCR in coordination with the Global Task Force on Refugee Labour Mobility.

This will be a unique opportunity for employers to meet and interview refugee job-seekers from a range of professional backgrounds.

In beautiful Amman, you and your team will be able to meet our talented candidates and conduct in-person interviews to determine whether one or more of these job seekers might be a good fit for your hiring needs.

 

 FAQs

 
  • If you are unable to make it but still would like to meet refugee candidates virtually in the future please let our team know.

  • We have offices in Jordan and Lebanon, where we have been working directly with displaced people since TBB was founded. We have over 7,500 skilled candidates in our Talent Catalog living in Jordan.

  • Talent Beyond Boundaries will ask each employer to submit Job Descriptions for the roles you are interested in hiring. Prior to the fair, our team will identify suitable candidates from the Talent Catalog based on your needs and invite them to attend the event. Each candidate will have a CV that is sent to you in advance.

    We recommend providing a range of roles, if possible, to meet more candidates.

    Employers who are interested in attending the Global Refugee Labour Mobility Summit will also have the opportunity to meet candidates throughout the week through interactive panels.

  • We will ask that you let TBB know which candidates you want to hire and for what role. After confirming the eligibility, TBB can help initiate the offer process.

    Please note that there will be multiple employers attending from a range of industries. Candidates might be considered by more than one employer. We recommend letting us know as early as possible.

  • Absolutely! Interested employers can join us in Lebanon before or after the job fair to meet additional candidates in Lebanon. The flight from Amman to Beirut takes approximately 50 minutes.
