Information about the activities
Informal interviews
An informal interview is a way to meet Hanken students and discuss your company and work on your employer branding in a casual way. During your informal interview (1 or 2 hours), you will meet three to six students for 15 minutes in a one on one meeting. You can choose whether you want to attend for 1 or 2 hours. We will inform you about the exact time of your informal interview(s) closer to the event.
CV/LinkedIn Check-Ins
Meet our students at CV/LinkedIn Check-Ins during the day. Recruitment specialists from your company will have the opportunity to comment on students' CVs, application letters and LinkedIn profiles and help them develop them further. It is a great opportunity for you to strengthen your employer branding and meet possible future colleagues! The time slots are 15 minutes per student and each company will have 1 or 2 hours, i.e. meet 3-6 students. You can choose if you want to participate for 1 or 2 hours.
Tips for participating companies
- Make yourself stand out: think about how you can make your company stand out among the others. Both visually and through your message.
- Your message: why is it important for Hanken students to visit your business site today? What do they get from the meeting that they wouldn't get elsewhere? Maybe they can meet someone important in your company? Spread the word!
- Communicate on social media: use your free Instagram stories post on Hanken's official Instagram channel @hankenofficial. Use this platform to share your message and why it is important to visit your virtual stand! Also remember to use your own social media channels and our hashtag #HND25.
- Think long term: although your company is currently only recruiting Master's students for the upcoming Trainee Programme, it is also extremely important to build your company brand among our younger students. It will be much easier to recruit them in a few years if they already know who you are!

Activities
10.00 am Keynote in the main hall TBA
Every year we have an interesting keynote speaker to open the day of the fair in the Festival Hall! Last year, Martin Paasi visited HND. Martin is a Member of Parliament and Hanken alumnus with a major in financial economics. Martin has a wide range of experience in capital markets and organisational change and efficiency.
Informal interviews
An informal interview is a free way to meet companies and discuss with a company representative one-on-one. An informal interview is a great way to find out information about a company that you might not find elsewhere! It is also a great way to build your professional network.
You can book a 15-minute informal interview with a company where you can ask more about the company, its culture and career opportunities. This way you can find out if the company matches your values and what you want from your career.
CV/LinkedIn Check-Ins
Meet the companies at the CV/LinkedIn Check-in during the day. Company recruitment specialists will comment on your CV, cover letter and LinkedIn profiles and help you develop them further. It is a great opportunity for you to network and meet possible future colleagues! Time slots are 15 minutes per student. Please note that only one CV/LinkedIn check-in per student is allowed.
CV photography
During the day, you can take your CV photo for free at the fair in the Foyer between 11.00-14.00. It's important to have an updated CV photo when applying for a job, so take advantage of this opportunity! You do not need to sign up, just join the queue.
After Work and dinner
After the fair itself, an After Work is organised down at Torget at 17.00 (Hanken Business Lab) and then a dinner at Casa (SHS). The company representatives from the fair are present and this is a great chance for the 30 fastest students to network further.
