Jobmesse Dresden

The Job Fair Dresden is a public event held twice a year in the heart of Saxony and has become one of the most important career platforms in Eastern Germany. It is organized by the experienced HR Business GmbH – a renowned company operating under the JOBMESSE brand with a nationwide trade fair concept, including events in cities like Berlin, Nuremberg, and Rostock. Since its inception, the Job Fair Dresden has consistently pursued the goal of connecting people at all stages of their professional lives with real career opportunities – in person, directly, and beyond the limits of a simple résumé.

The event takes place at the Rudolf Harbig Stadium – a unique and symbolic venue. As a modern landmark of Dresden, the stadium stands for dynamism, reach, and identity – values that also shape the character of the fair. Once in February and once in September, the stadium transforms for a day into a vibrant communication platform for students, graduates, career starters, job changers, returnees, and experienced professionals and executives.

The focus lies on career-oriented encounters at eye level. Employers, educational institutions, and organizations from across Germany – many with strong ties to the Dresden/Saxony region – present themselves in a cross-industry environment covering all major economic sectors. Special emphasis is placed on the region’s high-tech industries such as IT, microelectronics, mechanical engineering, and engineering services. Many exhibitors are part of the Silicon Saxony network. The event also includes companies from healthcare, trade, logistics, skilled crafts, consulting, public services, as well as the education and social sectors.

Admission is free and access is intentionally low-threshold, yet the fair offers a high-quality visitor experience with a wide range of services. Attendees can speak directly with recruiters without prior registration, introduce themselves spontaneously, or submit unsolicited applications. The program is complemented by professional application portfolio checks, hands-on lectures on topics such as job applications, salary negotiations, interviews, and career planning, along with interactive activities that offer insight into job fields and corporate cultures.

The event also actively promotes integration: people with a migration background receive targeted information and support for entering the German labor market. Aspiring entrepreneurs can connect with knowledgeable contacts from startup advisory services, such as those provided by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

In addition to the in-person fair, a digital career platform is available in the lead-up to the event. Here, visitors can browse participating companies and their job offers and schedule appointments in advance – a modern tool that enhances and complements the on-site experience.

The Job Fair Dresden combines strong regional roots with nationwide reach, personal exchange with digital support, and a unique venue with real career prospects. It is not only a key career event in the region but also a practical guide to today’s and tomorrow’s working world.

The 29th Jobmesse takes place on Thur., 18.09.2025 in Dresden.
