Are you looking for a fast-paced, direct way to land an internship, a traineeship, or your first full-time job? The MARUG Speeddate Event is a high-intensity recruitment day designed to skip the long application queues and get you straight to the heart of the conversation with top-tier employers.

In a single afternoon, a select group of approximately 20 ambitious students is invited to rotate through a series of one-on-one "speed dates" with several leading companies. This is your chance to make a lasting impression, ask the questions that matter, and discover where your professional future lies.

What Awaits You at the Speeddate Event:

  • Direct Access: Engage in 10-minute, one-on-one sessions with recruiters and professionals from a diverse range of companies, from FMCG giants to consultancy firms.

  • Efficient Networking: No long presentations or crowded stands—just focused, personal conversations. In just a few hours, you can expand your network and explore multiple career paths.

  •  

  • Quality Connections: Because the event is limited to a small group of students, the interactions are more personal and high-impact. It is the perfect platform to show your personality beyond your CV.

  • Informal Follow-up: The event typically concludes with a networking social or drinks, allowing you to continue the conversation with the recruiters you connected with during the dates.        

The Selection Process:

To ensure a high-quality match between students and participating companies, attendance is based on a CV selection. This ensures that every "date" you have is with a company that is genuinely interested in your profile and potential.
