hierbleiben. Magdeburg

The job fair "hierbleiben."—translated as "stay here"—is an annual job and recruiting fair taking place every November. Since its inception in 2011, it has evolved into a significant meeting point for professionals and executives from Magdeburg and the broader region of Saxony-Anhalt. Organized by freshpepper GmbH & Co. KG, this event aims to bring together qualified candidates and demanding regional companies in an exclusive and productive atmosphere.

The shortage of skilled workers is a widespread phenomenon affecting many regions of Germany, especially the new federal states like Saxony-Anhalt. Here, companies are often confronted with the challenge of finding and retaining qualified professionals and executives.

The name "hierbleiben." is thus a clear message and a call to the region's professionals. It emphasizes the importance of local talents and their retention in the region. The fair aims to motivate professionals to pursue their careers locally and highlights that Saxony-Anhalt offers challenging and attractive career opportunities.

The focus of the "hierbleiben." fair is not on the sheer number of applicants, but on the quality of conversations and encounters. The event stands out for its high-quality details and fresh ambiance. This appealing environment fosters effective and targeted dialogues between job seekers and employers, benefiting both the companies and the professionals.

The fair's themes span a wide range of industries and sectors, including IT, healthcare, engineering, commerce, and many more. It serves as a platform for companies to showcase their open positions, corporate culture, and career opportunities. For applicants, it is a unique opportunity to make direct contact with HR managers and gain valuable insights into the corporate landscape of Saxony-Anhalt.

Highlights of the fair include not only individual discussions between companies and potential employees but also a supporting program with workshops, presentations, and networking events. These provide impulses for career development and offer additional insights into current trends and topics in the world of work.

The venue contributes significantly to the character of the fair: The Festung Mark Magdeburg, a historical building with modern interior design, provides an unparalleled setting for the event. The combination of historical charm and modern facilities creates a welcoming and inspiring environment for exchange and dialogue.

Overall, the "hierbleiben." fair in Magdeburg is an outstanding event of great significance for both companies and professionals. With its clear focus on quality and its unique atmosphere, it forms an important platform for career development and networking in the Saxony-Anhalt region.

Thus, the "hierbleiben." fair counteracts brain drain, the emigration of well-educated professionals to other regions or countries. Instead, it promotes brain gain by providing a platform for local companies to present themselves as attractive employers and engage directly with potential employees.

The hierbleiben. will take place on Saturday, 15. November 2025 in Magdeburg.
