Activities

The participating companies of the Recruitment Days offer a wide range of activities.

Company Presentation
A company presentation is the perfect way to get a first impression of a company. During 30 minutes, information regarding the career opportunities, company culture, the type of students the company is looking for and the job application procedure will be covered.

Company presentations are offered by all participating companies. A company presentation is a walk-in activity meaning that they do not require enrollment. You can just join the meeting and attend as many presentations as you want. This activity is perfect to get to know companies in a low-threshold way, or to prepare yourself on an activity later on that day.

Note that all presentations will be online this year.

Business Case
A business case is the perfect opportunity to get an idea of the type of problems you would solve as an employee of the company. During a business case, a company presents a challenging business problem. You will work in a team of fellow students and solve the case as best as you can. Furthermore, you can impress companies with your skill.

Recommendation: Please also attend the company presentation and read their company information beforehand, to be well prepared for the case. You can find the company information on this website, or in the program booklet.

A case is a cv-selected activity meaning that you have to sign up and companies will select the students based on their cv’s.

Individual Talks

We recommend to read the company information beforehand, and to follow the company presentation if possible.
