Invitation to employers to the ICT European Online Job Day Ireland, 9th of May

What’s happening?

The event, happening exclusively online on the 9th of May 2014, will take place virtually on the event’s website created on the European portal: www.europeanjobdays.eu (financed by the European Commission).
Through the website and its interactive elements the jobseekers will be able to apply for jobs, make contact with you and book job interviews during the event. EURES Ireland will assist you with pre-selection of candidates and interviews scheduling if required.

Interviews with the selected candidates will be conducted online on the day of the event using Netop Live Guide available through the website or any other software (e.g. Skype, video conferencing) preferred by you. In addition, live streaming of your company’s presentations, live broadcast of pre-recorded videos and public & private chats will be available to all European jobseekers targeted for this event.

Who will be attending?
The event will be widely advertised in Europe. ICT professionals will be targeted through a European promotional campaign including; social media advertising (European Commission and EU/EEA countries), online advertising on a number of ICT related websites in Europe, information distributed to EURES departments and Technical Engineering/ICT Professional Bodies in all EU/EEA countries. E.g. in Portugal alone, nearly 27,000 engineers and IT professionals are registered as jobseekers with the Public Employment Service; the engineering professional bodies in Portugal cover around 70,000 associates in the engineering professions.
On average between 5,000 and 10,000 jobseekers attend each EuropeanOnline Job Day.
