Speedy recruitment

The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) has come up with an innovate way of introducing students to potential employers, by using a speed dating format.

'Would like to meet...' is a recruitment event that is being held at the University of Plymouth and the University of Cardiff.

The interactive one-to-one “speed dating” sessions, give students and employers the chance to meet for three minutes. These fun yet effective sessions, are somewhat different to the normal recruitment events that students have the opportunity to attend. These sessions allow trainees to gain better perspective of each firm, an insight into chartered accountancy, to practice some quick interview skills and to ask all the questions they’ve been burning to ask.

The events are being held at Plymouth University on Thursday 19 November (6 - 8.30 pm) and University of Cardiff on Thursday 3 December (6 – 8.00 pm).
