Companies take the stage at Employer Pitch
In the event's second edition, more than 30 organisations from the region presented themselves to attract the city's top talent
Porto recently hosted the second edition of Employer Pitch. Throughout a full day, 30 companies stepped onto the stage at the Alfândega Congress Centre, delivering five-minute presentations to showcase their job opportunities to a crowd of potential employees.
At the same time, pre-arranged interviews were held, connecting candidates in search of professional opportunities with companies actively seeking skilled talent.
The aim of Employer Pitch is to shake up pre-established formal structures, paving the way for more expansive and innovative outcomes in the attraction and retention of local talent.
In recent years, the city of Porto has established itself as a magnet for both national and international companies. Among the main factors of its attractiveness is the city's superior educational ecosystem, which contributes to the existence of a highly qualified and attractive talent pool.
Data gathered from participants in last year’s inaugural edition of Employer Pitch indicated that 71% of candidates had successfully entered the labour market within six months following the initiative, while 59% reported being contacted by the companies present at the event.
Drawing on their personal accounts, 88% of participants confirmed that they would recommend Employer Pitch to other jobseekers.
