Recruiting on a grand scale:
HDI causes a stir on campus.
At the start of the 2024/25 winter semester, HDI demonstrated how modern recruiting for students really works: right where the target group lives, learns, and moves. The campaign was present at more than 50 universities across Germany and was specifically aimed at students in STEM subjects as well as business and economics—exactly the talents HDI wants to attract for the future. For four weeks, the campaign was impossible to miss across Germany’s university landscape.
