Startup recruiting and hiring fair swag has two jobs. The crew uniform pulls candidates toward the booth from across the hall. The candidate giveaway sends them home wearing your brand. Here is the apparel set for a startup running booth presence at university career fairs, industry hiring fairs, or in-person recruiting events.
The hiring fair apparel set splits cleanly into two lines.
Most career fair booths see 50 to 200 candidates and convert 30 to 60 into a meaningful conversation. The giveaway is sized to the conversation count, not the total booth traffic.
| Item | Quantity | VIP base per item | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crew polo | 4 | $34.88 | $139.52 |
| Candidate tee giveaway | 30 | $19.88 | $596.40 |
| 5-panel hat giveaway | 20 | $25.86 | $517.20 |
| Total event cost | $1,253.12 |
The candidate giveaway is most often worn by the candidate after the fair, on campus, into other recruiting touchpoints. The print on the shirt has two jobs.
The candidate giveaway tee usually doubles as the new-hire welcome kit tee. If a candidate at the fair becomes a hire, the tee that landed in their suitcase from the fair becomes the same tee waiting for them in the welcome kit. The continuity matters more than most startups expect. Read the new hire welcome kit post for the kit format that pairs with this giveaway.

No. The crew wears the unified polo or quarter-zip. The candidate giveaway is a different piece (tee or hat) that the candidate keeps and wears outside the event.
Yes. No minimum order. The 30-shirt run pays the same per-piece pricing as a 200-shirt run.
