The largest job and career development fair in the Greater Region once again extended its reach beyond borders.

Testimonials that make us smile
From the exhibitors’ side, the day proved to be a great success. Recruiters met a wide range of candidates with diverse backgrounds and strong skill sets, many of whom were multilingual.
Caroline Hoffmann, recruitment officer at SERVIOR and a regular attendee of the Moovijob.com events, shared her thoughts:
“This was a new experience: our first time in Trier, and it was very interesting. The profiles we met were different from those we usually see in Luxembourg, and we received promising applications. For SERVIOR, it’s essential to take part in events like this.”
Eric Kreutz, from the HR department at Fischer Panelux, shared the sentiment, praising the diversity and quality of the candidates, from warehouse staff to SPS programmers and truck drivers. Meanwhile, the team at Digital Learning Hub also highlighted the quality of interactions: “We found all kinds of profiles,” they noted, “and different ones than at other Moovijob.com events.” Present to promote their training programmes and scout for expert trainers, they even found some strong candidates for internships in their communication team.
Lucie Metz, HR Project Manager at POST Luxembourg, was equally impressed:
“We met a wide variety of candidates, with technical skills that are very relevant to our IT openings. We were also delighted to see that many were multilingual.”
From the visitors’ side, two finance professionals highlighted the event’s appeal, noting how it helped them expand their network and discover new career paths.
A student attending to explore opportunities also welcomed the initiative:
“I think it’s fantastic for both students and professionals in Trier that Moovijob.com is organising fairs beyond Luxembourg’s borders.”
