40+ Recruiters on site at the May 13th Albany Job Fair held at the Holiday Inn, Latham NY, Job Seeker Registration not required
ALBANY, NY, UNITED STATES, April 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Albany Job Fair is Wednesday, May 13, 2026, from 1pm to 5pm at the Holiday Inn Express, 400 Old Loudon Road, Latham, NY. This month’s event features more than 40 recruiting companies from across the Capital Region, offering job seekers access to local and regional employment opportunities from entry level to C Level executives, across a wide range of industries.
The Albany Job Fair will hosts a Veterans’ Hour with the recruiters from 1pm to 2pm before the general public enters at 2 pm. “We feel that our vets have given a great deal to this country and we want to honor them and provide a quiet hour before the event opens to the public,” said Darcy Knapp, event founder and organizer.
“Our veterans will never get back the time they spent missing birthdays and anniversaries, first steps and first ball games. They gave that time to all of us. It’s only right that we devote time to making sure they can access the opportunities that will help them enjoy the American Dream they defended. I’m commend the Albany Job Fair’s ongoing commitment to our veterans,” said Senator Jacob Ashby.

It’s a powerful way to show respect for those who have served and to make sure they have access to everything the fair has to offer,” said Albany County Executive Daniel P. McCoy.
