VIRTUAL CAREER FAIR 

Law firms, in-house legal departments, and agencies/organizations seeking to hire Hispanic attorneys should not miss their opportunity to find candidates at the HNBA’s Virtual Career Fair, the Nation’s largest career fair for Hispanic law students and legal professionals! The HNBA Virtual Career Fair helps match your organization with law students and lateral attorneys from a variety of practice areas and at all levels of experience.

We are able to attract talented Hispanic attorneys and law students from across the country all in one place! This provides employers with a unique and cost-effective way to meet your recruiting goals and promote your visibility among this important segment of the legal profession.

HOW IT WORKS

After exploring options to make the annual HNBA Career Fair even more cost-effective for employers, laterals, and students, we have decided to make it virtual. All participants will be given access to 12Twenty, a well-known, web-based Career Services Management System used to manage all aspects of the process. The 12Twenty portal will allow you to specify whether you are seeking entry-level or mid-career candidates, class years and class standings, and required application materials. You will also have the opportunity to schedule interviews in 20 minute time slots or simply collect resumes.
