Challenge? World-class employer? Brilliant colleagues? Technology of the future? For a top career in technology you have to be in the Eindhoven Brainbelt. And there is a great chance that your career starts on May 27 at High Tech Campus Eindhoven. During BoostIQ - the international career event - the Campus matches supply and demand. A day in which employers are looking each in the eye of top talent and graduates and experienced professionals are exploring the work field.
Twenty-five enthusiastic top employers put in an appearance with stands, recruiters and speakers. As a warm-up act we asked a number of participating companies about their motivation and search profile. A sneak preview:
Profit Consulting: Turn your passion into profit!
“For Profit, BOOSTIQ is a moment to present ourselves to our neighbors, engineers working on Campus and beyond. We have a stand for networking and also give a company presentation. This way, people can get a look behind the scenes. Profit is growing; this year we want to grow from 80 to 120 software engineers. We are progressing already! What makes Profit unique is the versatility and freedom of choice for our engineers. An embedded software engineer at Profit can develop towards web-software or vice versa. Our engineers can expand their knowledge and interests in depth and in width by training and courses. At Profit, software engineers can count on a permanent contract with a stable and attractive employer. We continuously have challenging projects with different clients.” - Eda Demir, Business & Recruitment Manager, Profit Consulting
NXP: intensive programs
“As a major player on the Campus, NXP is well represented at BoostIQ. In addition to a stand, we also have two speakers who will provide the visitors with an insight into our activities in the areas of Automotive and IT/Security. We are especially looking for young (top) talent in the field of RF and security solutions. For a select group, we offer two intensive programs. During the Go Shadow program the candidates are linked to an experienced specialist for 18 months. In this way they get to know NXP and the tricks of the trade well. In the Automotive Leadership Trainee Program (ALTP) the candidates work for two years on two different assignments: learning on the job, with coaching, workshops and training. After this, NXP offers excellent career opportunities.” - Yvonne Jansson-Hellings, Corporate Recruiter, NXP semiconductors
Matis Netherlands: Face-to-Face
“BoostIQ is for us a good opportunity to present Matis and get in touch with interesting candidates. The great advantage of an event is that you have face-to-face talks, something that gives you the chance to get to know each other well and find out faster if you can mean something for each other. We seek in particular mechanical and software engineers for projects in automotive and high-tech. Especially engineers with several years of experience. They can start working at Matis as a consultant on projects which run from 1 to 3 years and are well guided by our business managers. You can be sure that we invest a lot in training.” - Adriënne de Bock, Recruitment Officer, Matis Netherlands
Philips Lighting: Working at the leader
“We have been participating in BoostIQ for several years and of course we are again joining in now. Finding good people is a challenge to us as well, so we really like having the opportunity to physically come in contact with potential candidates during all our recruitment activities. We are looking for a broad profile. We need real science types, developers in software and connectivity, system architects, young and experienced people. The world of lighting systems is in transition. This is your chance to work at the global leader in innovative lighting solutions. We are a multinational and multicultural company with many opportunities and challenges. Come and meet us!” - Meriam van Wijk, Recruitment Manager, Philips Lighting Netherlands
Brainport Talent Centre: Career and quality of life
“We wholeheartedly support BoostIQ. In our capacity of Brainport Talent Centre we are geared towards attracting and retaining talent for the region. This we do through a wide range of activities. For example, we have a successful online portal, talentbox.nl, which focuses on connecting (international) professionals with professionals and companies in Brainport. In addition to the excellent career opportunities, we also emphatically propagate the quality of life to the target group. This is a pleasant living environment, also for your partner or family who is accompanying you, our culture is accessible and all conceivable facilities are at a short distance. That is a key differentiator for international professionals who are considering to work here.”
