SM Group just made job hunting easier than ever! Thousands flocked to SM City Fairview for the Biggest Job Fair of the Year — a one-stop shop for career opportunities, on-the-spot

Nearly 2,000 job seekers had already lined up by midday—each one carrying the hope of bringing home life-changing news to their families.

On August 7, the SM Group of Companies, led by SM Retail, brought together job hopefuls and career makers under one roof at SM City Fairview, staging the largest SM Group-exclusive job fair of 2025 to date. The event gathered top companies from within the SM ecosystem—including retail, logistics, and banking—and offered a diverse range of opportunities for both entry-level applicants and seasoned professionals. Open positions included Accounting Assistants, Cashiers, Merchandising Managers, Pharmacy Assistants, Sales Associates, Customer Relations Representatives, and Company Nurses.

On-the-Spot Interviews – Applicants take part in initial interviews during the SM Group’s Biggest Job Fair of the Year, making the job search faster and more accessible.

Renowned for its accessibility and all-in-one convenience, the SM Job Fair is more than just a hiring event—it’s a career destination. By bringing a curated lineup of trusted employers to one venue, SM removes the common barriers to job hunting. Here, applicants can explore multiple options, submit applications, undergo interviews, and even receive job offers on the spot—without ever leaving the mall. For many, it’s career building made convenient and approachable, whether they are coming from school, home, or a current workplace.

On-the-spot hiring – happy jobseekers walk away with job offers in hand, proving that SM Job Fairs are more than events — they’re gateways to livelihood.

With a strong commitment to empowering the Filipino workforce, the event welcomed over 2,000 job seekers and proudly reported 240 hired on the spot—a 12% HOTS rate. Those not immediately matched are still being considered, as HR teams from participating companies continue to conduct virtual interviews with qualified applicants after the event.

The August 7 SM Group Job Fair also marked the start of a month-long series of job fairs in SM Supermalls nationwide, reinforcing SM’s role as a bridge between employers and future changemakers.
