Hey, I co-organized this event, so the actual statistics were that out of 97 registered candidates under 10 dropped of their own accord and there were 40 no-shows. There were approximately 50 companies attending. While the ratio was not great, and the fact that most companies sent at least two people made the odds of humans bizarre, a 1:1 ratio is not what we hoped for but not 5:1. At the last fair we got about 2:1 candidates to recruiters, which was closer to what we were hoping for. At the next fair we plan to take $20 deposits which can be refunded by either attending the fair or giving 48 hours warning that you are dropping out. At this fair we actually had to stop accepting candidates because we had so many that we were running out of room and worried the ratio would go too far the other way.
