#BILJOBDATING 2016: digital technology jobs in the spotlight!

On Saturday 2 July 2016, almost 100 Banque Internationale à Luxembourg staff members will be mobilised for the third BIL Jobdating event. This year, the focus will be on jobs in the fields of IT and digital technology.

During this, its third Jobdating event, BIL is focusing on jobs in the field of digital technology. In addition to sales positions, the jobs on offer will include IT jobs, such as application software engineer, application support engineer, junior developer, and marketing jobs, such as community manager, content manager, etc. Information on all the vacancies to be filled is available at www.bil.com/jobdating.

The BIL Jobdating principle is simple: during this unique recruitment day, candidates take part in a three-stage process. First of all, candidates have a fifteen minute one-on-one interview with a human resources expert. After this, they meet a specialist from one of the bank’s business lines. The candidates who make it past these two stages then have a third interview with Karin Scholtes, Global Head of Human Resources at BIL, and a senior business line manager.

As I was finishing up my IT degree in 2015, I attended the BIL Jobdating event to find my first job. I really enjoyed the format of the discussions, which enabled my interview partners to get to know me and allowed me to gain a better understanding of BIL and how the bank operates. One week after the Jobdating event, I received an employment offer and then three months later, after I finished my studies, I started my new job! Now, I work in a diverse environment that is constantly changing, which makes it all the more interesting!” says Guillaume Pighi, Associate IT Security Officer.

We are looking forward to meeting this year’s candidates. This recruitment event has become an important date in the BIL calendar. We open our doors to the candidates and give them the opportunity to discover our business lines. BIL Jobdating uses the speed dating format for a good reason: the recruitment process goes both ways, as the candidates also need to get a feeling of whether working for BIL is the right fit for them.” explains Karin Scholtes.

When the event was launched in 2014, it was the first time such a “speed recruiting” session was organised by a Luxembourg bank. It has enjoyed continued success since then: over 500 candidates have registered each year, and more than 40 staff members have been recruited thanks to Jobdating.
