How to prepare B2B prospecting and recruitment in Paris
Allocate interview slots and contact windows. For a single-day event with 60 exhibitors, scheduling 20 to 30 minute interviews helps screen candidates efficiently. Prepare concise vacancy briefs and a digital form to gather CVs. Focus first on technical skills and relevant project experience.
Craft a company pitch that highlights concrete projects and processes rather than generic statements. Provide technical documentation over long brochures to let candidates assess required competencies. Identify the 4 organising schools and set priority slots for their students.
Recruiters should define practical indicators to test during first meetings. Use short technical exercises or case studies to filter candidates and schedule follow-up interviews with shortlisted profiles.
Advice for students and applicants
Bring an updated CV and a ready-to-send digital version. Summarise hands-on projects and any internship experience in a few lines. Check the venue plan to locate target companies and prioritize your visits. Pose specific questions about technical responsibilities and expected career paths.
