About this event
The Sophia Antipolis tech hub is located in the towns of Antibes, Valbonne, Mougins and Biot along the Côte d’Azur – French Riviera (Alpes Maritimes). Sophia Antipolis is the first European tech hub with close to 5,000 researchers and 2,500 companies that employ 38,000 people within an area composed of 90% green space. 50 years after its creation, today Sophia Antipolis has a revenue of 5.6 million euros, which is equivalent to that of the Côte d’Azur’s tourism industry.
The international nature of Sophia Antipolis and the French Riviera is important, since the tech hub has welcomed close to 200 foreign companies to this day that employ almost 10,000 people from 67 different nationalities.
To celebrate 50 years, the local institutional partners are organizing a digital job fair—IT development, testing, artificial intelligence, and connected objects from a variety of industries (travel technology, autonomous vehicles, health and sports technology, biotechnology, sailing, and more).
The “Talent in tech” convention will take place on November 14 from 9:00 to 14:00!
The goal is to facilitate opportunities and the meeting up of local candidates as well as other Europeans with companies in the Sophia Antipolis area and its surrounding cities (Nice, Cannes, Monaco, etc.).
Here, through candidates and recruiters being able to get in contact, they’ll have the chance to meet local players in the employment and training sectors (Pôle emploi, Apec, CCI Nice Côte d’Azur, Université Nice Côte d’Azur, training organizations, etc.) that will be able to offer solutions to encourage employment in this domain and region.
Those who participate in this event will also be able to attend round table discussions on topics related to employment, the feminization of jobs, and employer brands.

Information for Exhibitors
Dear Exhibitor,
By now you should already have a username and a password to access the europeanjobdays.eu platform. If for some reason you don’t, please get in touch with us helpdesk@europeanjobdays.eu so that we can check the situation. You may as well recover your password here, as long as you remember your username or the e-mail you used to register. To make the best out of your participation, you should now:
Improve your company profile
This profile is your public introduction to potential applicants. It should reflect what your main activities and projects are, as well as your organisation’s mission, values and HR policy, ideally in English.
If you haven’t done so yet, it is now time to add your logo, your web and social media accounts – and, if you have one available on YouTube or Vimeo, also add an introductory video (ideally recruitment-focused), in order to make the profile more appealing.
No vacancies published yet?
If you haven’t done this yet, publish them on the platform as soon as possible, if you want to get a number of applications ahead of the event.
Fill in the maximum amount information possible in the fields about languages, education, and skills, in order to better help the jobseekers find your vacancies in their searches.
If participants apply to your vacancies before the event, you can pre-select a few applicants for interviews and better organise your participation on the day – also allowing the jobseekers to better prepare for the interview.
Watch the videos:
(BEWARE THAT... even though the event is aimed at EU/EEA citizens, you will surely get some applications from third country nationals. It is up to you to decide whether to accept or discard them, bearing in mind the international recruitment procedures ongoing in your country).
Go through your applicants & invite them for interviews
Jobseekers interested in your vacancies are applying through the platform. In order to browse their CVs, once logged in, go to Job Applications / Interviews in your dashboard. Click on the jobseeker’s name, go through the profile, check the attached CV or LinkedIn profile. If it matches your requirements, you can invite him/her for an online or onsite interview on September 17th.
You can pre-define your availability for interviews under Set interview timeslots. By default, interview slots last 30 minutes.
The applicants you invite for an interview will then choose the most suitable slot for them, out of those you (still) have available. Your schedule is automatically updated as applicants confirm their attendance.
On the event day, check and download your interview agenda from Applications / Interviews in your dashboard to know who you will be meeting. You can choose to use either Netop (the Chat tool associated with the platform) or Skype (if both you and your candidate have a regular Skype account):
- if the interview is conducted via the Netop Chat, make sure you’re logged in, available and with the audio and video options on at the scheduled time; wait for the jobseeker’s contact;
- if it is on Skype, you should contact the jobseeker by clicking on the Skype button in your interview schedule in the platform.
Our Helpdesk will be online all day to help you and candidates with interview management whenever needed.
If you don’t have pre-booked interviews…
On the day, you can also make exploratory one-to-one contact with jobseekers (just like if you were at a stand) by joining the Netop Chat.
Learn how to use it under Access online chat in your Dashboard (once logged in).
You need a specific account for this. By default, we create an account for every participating exhibitor registered for the event – and you should receive an e-mail with your access data and some testing recommendations 3 days before the event at the latest.
Still have questions?
Don’t hesitate to contact us at helpdesk@europeanjobdays.eu if you need further assistance.
We look forward to working with you to make your participation a success!
