The Book of Contestants

Several universities and companies have contacted us in order to obtain more information about the participants in the Challenges so they can enlarge their data bases as talent hunters.

That is why we recently created the Book of Contestants. Those who may be interested in universities and companies finding their profiles are invited to sign in.

The advantages of participating in the "Reto" and being added to the Directory are:

  • Having a visible profile in order to be contacted by companies with a project that may suit the contestant’s skills.
  • Highlight the participants’ profile so they can be contacted by universities offering specialised programs.
  • Make a public record of the participation in the CompanyGame Challenges on business management.
