Leesburg commission sets job fair plans for Oct. 18; outreach to employers, Crossroads and schools to begin
Summary
The commission confirmed a job fair on Oct. 18, 2025 (1–3 p.m.), discussed employer recruitment, on-site interviews and resume review stations, and asked staff to open employer registration and coordinate table layout and partner participation.
The Leesburg Diversity Commission confirmed planning for a community job fair on Oct. 18, 2025, tentatively set for 1 to 3 p.m., and discussed logistics including employer outreach, partner tables, on-site interviews and resume review stations.
Commissioners said the town will open employer registration and begin outreach to prior-year participants, workforce partners including Crossroads and the Loudoun County Workforce Resource Center, and county services such as DARS. Staff said they will issue a news release seeking employers and that employer registration forms will be posted on the town website; staff also said they will set an internal deadline for employer sign-ups to allow a final table layout and a printed list of participating employers for check-in.
Discussion covered booth size, the potential to offer on-site interviews, and the importance of employers coming with real openings and recruiters qualified to conduct interviews. Commissioners asked staff to provide table plots to the parks-and-rec coordinator in advance and to consider offering slightly larger booth space for employers that want to conduct interviews. The commission asked the parks-and-rec staff to set up and take down tables and to confirm whether the facility rental includes a hard stop time. Commissioners also discussed inviting local schools, community colleges and workforce programs to promote the event to jobseekers.
The commission agreed to include a resume-review table staffed by community partners and to ask Crossroads and DARS to provide interviewers or reviewers. Commissioners planned to request directional signage (arrow signs) from economic development or reuse the signs borrowed in prior years, and one commissioner offered to run digital advertising and social media outreach in the weeks ahead.
No formal budget increase was approved at the meeting; staff said advertising and food/snack expenditures would require a vote if larger sums were needed, and that the commission should decide any such spending at the September meeting.
Staff will circulate employer sign-up materials and a draft table layout to commissioners before the September meeting for a working-session review.
