Hi, what are you looking for?

The American Genius

Austin Digital Jobs (ADJ) Events

ADJ boasts nearly 60,000 members – our quarterly events attract hundreds of qualified candidates. Details are below.

SPACES ARE LIMITED

We hand pick employers that we know will not only be a good fit for our wildly qualified candidate pool, but employers that we know will get a good return on their investment. We don’t just work with anyone.

We limit the number of booths, all sponsors are equal. No Platinum/Gold levels – we’re all in this together!

Here is what’s in it for you:

(a) Designated spot at the event – send up to six people from your team, some swag, and be prepared to chat with tons of quality candidates! Feel free to bring stand up banners, celebrity cutouts, glow sticks, etc.

(b) Links to two of your job openings will be featured on the event ticketing page.

(c) Your logo and link are featured on the ticketing page.

(d) Event partners have special neon badges at the mixer that candidates are told to look out for at sign in.

(e) Inclusion in our PPT presentation on all venue TVs where possible.

(f) We’ll consider any creative ideas you may have!

Let’s see if we’re a fit for our quarterly events!

WHAT EMPLOYERS THINK

We have partnered with ADJ for over 4 years now! We’ve seen a lot of success and made MANY hires thanks to that partnership. They are amazing to work with, and if you spend any amount of time with them, you will quickly see they deserve every award and accolade they've earned. I tell every job seeker I meet in Austin, whether active on the market or passively searching, ADJ should be their #1 back pocket resource!

ADJ is a priceless resource for both job seekers and recruiters. Not only is it a hysterical forum to share best practices, get advice, gripe and encourage, but it is also a community filled with incredible humans eager to connect. Not to mention - I hosted a booth at an ADJ mixer and found multiple hires - definitely worth the money!

"Despite its enormous size and reach, and the chaos inherent to social media, Austin Digital Jobs is a productive, honest, and positive space for recruiters like me to engage with our talent community. Not only can we post jobs and find candidates but we can engage with the larger conversation to keep a finger on the pulse of candidate concerns and provide advice when asked. ADJ’s moderators (AKA benevolent overlords) keep it all on the up and up in a friendly and efficient way."

WE HAVE THE SECRET INGREDIENT

You already have great tools at hand to reach job seekers, but you won’t reach the most desirable talent – the qualified folks that are already employed, the people that are only looking passively. They don’t use job search sites, they don’t go out of their way to search.

They’re in ADJ. We have spent years refining the formula to keep people around, and 50% of our members are employed, yet stick around in our community even when not actively searching.

You simply won’t find that anywhere else.

Here’s an example of one simple but well done employer booth from a past event.

4 REASONS YOUR BOSS WILL SAY YES

1. Qualified candidates

Last quarter, more than half of all employers involved at the ADJ Recruiting Mixer said this was the most qualified pool they’ve ever seen at an event. Austin has a glut of entry-level talent, and we’ve worked hard to attract senior level talent that typically avoids events. It’s one of the only events in town that offers all talent levels, not just new grads.

2. Diversity and inclusion

If your company is putting any effort into diversity and inclusion, ADJ is your secret weapon. We skew more female than male, and our ecosystem has fostered inclusion unlike others that offer the same ol’ same ol’. Because we are purposefully inclusive and people can be people in ADJ, we attract folks from all walks of life and tell them in advance that partner companies want to meet them, so long as they’re skilled (I mean look at these fancy faces!).

3. Branding and marketing

Your marketing department may want to be involved, as we are willing to mold promotions in your image. For example, one company approached us seeking for all of our Facebook status updates about them to include that their company is famous for being best in class in what they do. Another wanted all updates to note that they’re dedicated to diversity and inclusion, putting them ahead of the pack. Branding at such a big huge giant event, with such respected brands, is a massive benefit to being involved!

4. To be next to trusted brands (see just some of their logos by scrolling up)!
