In 110 minutes, a total of 1,356 mini-interviews were held between 40 employers and 46 job seekers.
CVGT Launceston manager Alexis Smith said the organisation and employers were pleasantly surprised and pleased with the high attendance and eagerness of participants.
"The room was full of energy and job seekers and employers alike were very eager to participate and get to know each other," she said.
"There was a real hunger from job seekers to find meaningful employment and employers were determined to find the 'perfect match' for their business."
