My Experience at job Fair for Persons with Disabilities

Along with my HR colleagues, I participated in an exclusive job fair for differently abled candidates in Bengaluru, Karnataka on 23rd February 2020. It was a fair organized by "We are your voice" and we represented Thomson Reuters as an employer for the job fair. The event attracted over 5000+ prospective employees and had a terrific participation of over 100 employers. At the Thomson Reuters kiosk, there was an overall footfall of about 100+ candidates aspiring to be associated with us.

The event widened our perspective with regards to Diversity Hiring where we witnessed a lot of talented professionals while going through the interview process. There were candidates with disabilities like hearing, vision impairment, motion disability, speech impairment. The event has been fulfilling than any other hiring event we ever done before. This event has definitely been an eye opener for HR & Business team to see such professional, talented & energetic candidates with a positive outlook.

We all need a reminder in my lives at some given point in life of how blessed we are. Also, how we can contribute and provide help to people we can through our jobs or at a personal level.
