Professional Talent Fair

The purpose of INCAE's Professional Talent Fair is to offer participating organizations a chance to interview, meet and offer the tests necessary to find excellent professionals to be hired in the short or medium terms. These professionals have varied backgrounds, come from different countries, and are months away from graduating with a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degree.

Participation

INCAE's Professional Talent Fair is a service offering high value added to the business sector, NGOs and governments. It provides them with a change to recruit excellent professionals coming from different backgrounds and countries. There is no cost to access candidate CVs and participate in the Fair; they are completely free.

The following options indicate how your company or organization can participate. All options should be coordinated with the Fair's staff.

Personal Interviews. Apply to all MBA candidates who are selected by a company, especially during the 5 days of the Main Events week. Interview schedules will be sent by email to the address indicated on the registration form.

Tests. Open Tests are open to all students. Closed Tests are open only to students who have been selected by the company.

Company Presentations. Presentations may be made during all stages of the Fair. The best time is during the Main Events week, but space is limited to 4 companies per day. The purpose of these presentations is to allow the company a chance to talk about professional career opportunities, policies, services, products and any other details for a maximum of 60 minutes. Each company may only present once.

Stands. These are available only during the Main Events week and the South America activity. These are not exclusively product stands; they may be used to receive MBA candidate CVs and talk about products at the same time. Each company is responsible for the stand infrastructure and decorations. INCAE will provide wireless Internet access, electrical currents (should be coordinated if anything other than 110 V are needed), 1 table, 2 chairs and 1 tablecloth. During the Main Events week, stands are available on Monday and Tuesday only. Stands may only be placed if the company will also be conducting personal interviews, tests, or certifies that it has or will have positions available in the short and medium terms. The stand should be used to collect candidate CVs.
