Statements From Our Company Partners

The event was organized seamlessly, as is expected of a university specializing in logistics. The calibre of the students is high, and they came prepared with great questions and answers. I found the environment to be quite inclusive as well; as a non-German speaker I felt welcomed by both staff and students.

Jason Lee, Talent Sourcing Center Team Lead at Kuehne + Nagel (AG & Co.) KG

For us, the KLU Career Connect forms a perfect environment to connect with high talented students. We really enjoy the format of pitching to the students first before they pitch themselves to us. The event really stands out by its individual approach and we are already looking forward to next year!

Vivien Luisa Ullrich, Entry Programs Specialist at Gebr. Heinemann SE & Co. KG

Career Connect was a premiere for us at Axxum. As a global logistic player, for us it is essential to get high potentials, and we were pleased about the many positive conversations that we had with the students. Not only did they show great interest in a fulltime-job, internship, or a working student position within Axxum - their interest was mutual, and we hope to build on these connections. Events like this are rare and foster trustful relaxed interactions that benefit both students and employers. Big compliments to KLU, it was a pleasure to be part of the event!

Oliver Jochims, Head of HR AXXUM Group at Axxum GmbH

Sysmex Europe's participation in the Career Connect event at Kühne Logistics University proved immensely fruitful, leading to the recruitment of 5 promising individuals for student and early career positions. The event showcased exceptional organization, facilitating invaluable networking and learning opportunities. It highlighted the importance of direct engagement between industry and emerging talent. We highly recommend this platform for companies seeking to nurture future talents and for students aiming to accelerate their careers.

Calvin Hocke, HR Business Partner, Sysmex Europe

We really appreciated the intimate atmosphere at KLU Career Connect: the small number of exhibitors made it easy for students and graduates to prepare and to make up their minds on what they really want to know. As a consequence, the discussions in the open space were of really high quality. This contributed significantly to our perception of KLU-students being particularly motivated and focused.

Wolf Matthäus, Consultant Manager, Genpact Deutschland

The event concept was very well thought out and perfectly organised. We really enjoyed getting to know the students personally and finding out more about their interests and future plans. These opportunities for dialogue and the cooperation with KLU are very valuable for us.
