JobFAIR

What JobFAIR does

JobFAIR is an annual career fair organized by EESTEC LC Sarajevo, the local Sarajevo chapter of the European Association of Electrical Engineering Students (EESTEC). Founded in 2008, it is a non-profit student initiative held at the University of Sarajevo Campus targeting students and recent graduates of technical-technological faculties and economics in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The 17th edition is scheduled for November 3-4, 2026. Entry is free for all visitors.

The offering centers on a two-day in-person event providing direct contact between job seekers and employers. Program components include company presentations, Career Speed Dating (5-minute interviews), Open Space Technology workshops, panel discussions, and a year-round CV database of 3,400+ resumes accessible to partner companies. Pre-event content — webinars, podcasts, EESTEChat discussions, and skills workshops on CV writing, LinkedIn profiles, and business communication — extends engagement beyond the event window. The supporting web platform at jobfair.ba handles online registration, event information, and CV submission via Google Forms; during COVID-19 (2020-2021) the fair pivoted to the third-party Hopin platform for virtual delivery.

Business model is non-commercial: the fair is volunteer-run by student organizers, free for student attendees, and sustained through corporate sponsorships and media partnerships. Partner companies — including BH Telecom, Raiffeisen Bank, Skyline Communications, ASEE Group affiliates (Asee, Monri Payments, Payten), ZIRA, Pi-Energies, Virgin Pulse, and others — participate as exhibitors and sponsors. Media partners include Radio Sarajevo, Radio M, Akta.ba, MojPosao.ba, and Studomat.ba. The organizational structure consists of seven student coordinators covering design, HR/logistics, PR, corporate relations, IT, and finance functions. As a non-profit student project under the EESTEC umbrella (which spans 46 local committees across European universities), JobFAIR does not operate under traditional commercial metrics — there are no funding rounds, no pricing tiers, and no disclosed revenue figures.
