Dé Logistieke Speeddate
An approachable and efficient way to engage with logistics companies
About the event
The Logistics Speeddate, DLS for short, is the event for if you are looking for a (graduation) internship, traineeship or (first) job! During the event participants go speed dating with different companies. In short talks of 10 minutes both parties introduce themselves to each other and the possibilities can be discussed.
Jong Logistiek Nederland organizes the DLS twice a year, with an April edition in the spring and an October edition in the fall. In addition to the speed dates, we complement the day with interactive break-out sessions on career development and logistics companies.
As a participant, you will have the opportunity to meet with a variety of companies and take away valuable knowledge for your career. As a participating company, you will speak to several interesting candidates in half a working day and receive all the CVs of the participants.
The Logistics Speeddates for Businesses
Companies can register during the DLS period at projecten@jonglogistiek.nl. More information, such as our DLS brochure, can also be requested through this e-mail address if interested. When registering, there is the opportunity to indicate which positions are available and what of candidates are being sought. Based on these preferences and the preferences of the participants, a match schedule is compiled. This match schedule and candidates’ resumes are shared with all companies in the week before the DLS.

The Logistics Speeddates for Participants
You apply in advance through our website, you indicate your interests and what you are looking for, and you share CV with us if you wish. We share your CV with the companies so they can prepare in advance. Sharing your CV significantly increases your chances of successful interviews! On the day, you will come to the venue and be shown the match schedule. The match schedule is based on what you are looking for and what the companies are looking for. We do our best to match everyone as closely as possible, but it can happen that you end up at a company that cannot offer you anything right away. Try to start the conversation anyway, who knows, it might be something for the future!
You can think of speed dates as a job application, but much more fun and much more effective. In 10-minutes you get the time not only to introduce yourself and sell yourself, but also to learn more about the company and maybe even arrange on-the-spot your (graduate) internship, traineeship or job! This is your chance to get to know several companies and expand your network in one afternoon!
