Leeds Digital Job Fair was established by Amy De-Balsi in 2016 to enable employers to talk directly to tech talent of all experience levels.

She said: “Yorkshire and Humber’s digital job numbers have grown at more than twice the general rate of employment as a whole in last six years – five per cent for digital against two per cent overall.

“Within Leeds City Region, there are currently 7,565 digital businesses employing 47,000 people, and those figures are rising all the time.

“However, last year there were 14,000 skill shortage vacancies for digital professional roles.

“Competition for the finest available tech talent is now fierce.

“The purpose of the Leeds Digital Job Fair is to help fill vacancies by encouraging skilled people to consider working in the region’s flourishing digital sector, as well as enabling those already employed as tech professionals to further advance their careers.

“We have achieved remarkable success over the previous four events, helped by the fact that individuals who want to come along to speak to employers are able to sign up free of charge.”
