CeBIT, the annual megaconference held in Hanover for the IT industry in Europe, will this year feature a facility for Irish employers to interview prospective employees attending the event.

Irish recruitment company, the High Skills Pool (HSP), is organising a dedicated video conferencing and Internet area for Irish firms to participate in the fair without having to leave the Republic. Visitors can check out job opportunities in the Republic at HSP's cyber caf, and participate in video conference job interviews with prospective employers based in the Berkeley Court hotel in Dublin.

CeBIT runs in Hanover from February 24th to March 1st. Irish-based companies which have already agreed to participate in the exercise include Analog Devices, Stratus Computers and Andersen Consulting.
