The event is organized by EURES in NAV in Norway.

It is an online European Job Day www.europeanjobdays.eu  and a service of EURES, the European cooperation for labour mobility within the EU / EEA and Switzerland.

We welcome employers and organizations to participate.

Registration:

To register a new account or if you already have an account and wish to register for Destination Norway, check the “Registration for Employers” video on Video tutorials

Visitors/candidates can choose to continuously apply for the vacancies that are registered on the event page. They can also choose to only follow the program that is broadcasted during the event day and then apply for the job vacancies that have been published.

If your organization consists of several departments that want to participate in our job fair, we recommend that each department registers its own account. In this way, each department is exposed separately, and it becomes easier to handle applications. In addition, each department receives interview planning tools and chat channels that are their own.

Register job vacancies:

To achieve a good result with your recruitment, we recommend that you publish your job vacancies as soon as possible and in English. In the job description, you have the opportunity to refer applicants to your own career page, but note that our platform is built on the basis that applicants must apply for through the platform - for you to invite them to an interview on the platform - which means that the vast majority do so. Therefore, it is important that you continuously look through the job applications to your job vacancies, to find the candidates who might not have applied the way you wish them to.

Book online interviews:

You can book and hold interviews during the event day with candidates who have applied for your job vacancies. The interview tool is integrated into the platform.

You do this by booking 30-minutes interviews (so-called "slots"). You can access it at your "Dashboard".

Chat with candidates during the event day:

You can chat with candidates spontaneously visiting our event. Watch how in the video "how to use the chat with employers".

It is important that you are logged in to your account throughout the event day so that the candidates can get in touch with you. It is only possible to use one chat channel per account.

Record a short film in English

We recommend that you record a promotional film where you inform about your organization, your vacancies and how candidates can contact you. We broadcast the film during the event day. In this way, you reach everyone who participates, even those who may have missed your published vacancies.

NOTE! The film shouldn’t be longer than 5 minutes and if it is in your native language, it needs to be subtitled in English.

You will receive a broadcast programme about a week before the event day, then you know when your film is broadcasted and can take the opportunity to join the general chat in the broadcast window to promote your organization.
