Prague’s Anglo-American University is hosting the autumn edition of the Jobspin Career Fair today, 25 September 2026, bringing together up to 600 English-speaking job-seekers with Czech and multinational companies including SAP, Bluelink and Torsus. The half-day event offers on-site CV clinics by Hofmann Personal, career-coaching sessions and the fair’s ‘Smart Match’ algorithm that pre-selects employers based on participants’ skills, languages and work-authorisation status. The fair specifically targets expatriates, graduates and accompanying spouses already authorised to work—or planning to secure permits—under schemes such as the Highly Qualified Employee Programme or the new Digital Nomad visa. With Czech unemployment at 2.5 % and chronic shortages in IT, shared-services and engineering, companies are competing fiercely for foreign talent who can start quickly without lengthy relocation packages. For HR leaders, Jobspin provides a low-cost pipeline: a standard booth is priced at CZK 18 000 compared with traditional head-hunter fees of 20–25 % of annual salary. Exhibitors also gain visibility among Prague’s 50 000-strong international student community, many of whom transition to employee cards after graduation. Workshops during the fair cover topics such as “Switching from Student to Employee Card”, social-security coordination (A1 forms) and Czech tax basics for foreigners—practical knowledge that eases compliance risks for employers. The event is supported by expat groups like Czechia Alumni and language-school networks, underscoring its ecosystem approach. Past editions have placed more than 30 % of attendees in full-time roles within three months, according to organiser data. Mobility specialists should flag the fair to relocating spouses and remote-worker partners whose employability often determines assignment success.
