Updated
In short: FairUp is ranked #1 of 29 as of 5 October 2026, ahead of Handshake and event67. The best-ranked option with a free plan is Handshake. The lowest first paid tier on this page is Bewitt at $70/mo.
Planning a hiring event means weighing both the attendee experience and the tools that support recruiting. Compared on ATS integrations, event modes, video meetings, attendee limits, and employer booth limits, these entries offer concrete details to assess; resume search is another factor to consider. Free-plan availability and paid-from pricing provide additional cost comparisons. FairUp, Handshake, and event67 are among the options covered, alongside Eventus. Consider the format you need to run, how many attendees and employers it must accommodate, and whether integrations or resume search matter for your event.
