For companies & sponsors

Hire from Europe's most talented students.

Mavara is where ambitious finance students prove themselves. Sponsor a competition, hire the best people, and source candidates with verified performance data.

The graduate hiring problem

Screening finance talent is guesswork.

Firms decide on the thinnest possible evidence: a page of formatting, a name, a network. The judgement you actually hire for stays invisible until it is expensive to test.

Problem 01

Too many similar CVs

Hundreds of applications with the same target school, the same spring week, the same three bullet points. Nothing separates the top decile from the median.

Problem 02

No way to judge before interviews

Until the interview, companies have little evidence of how a candidate actually thinks, solves problems, and communicates.

Problem 03

A narrow campus pipeline

Coverage stops at a handful of universities, so strong candidates from the rest of Europe never reach your funnel at all.

The deal room

The Mavara Record

Every participant receives a structured candidate file built from their assessed work. Every score is backed by a submitted model, memo, or pitch, reviewed by the Mavara panel and industry professionals. The resulting Mavara Record gives you a clear view of each candidate’s strengths, weaknesses, and fit for your role, giving you access to every Record so you can identify the talent that best fits your needs.

What Mavara delivers

Evidence, before the first interview.

Every candidate in your pool arrives with a complete record: how they worked, what they produced, and how they scored against the European cohort.

01

A complete candidate profile

Identity, university, track, cohort, and season, one complete dossier instead of a CV plus four claims.

02

Their actual work sample

The submitted model, memo and pitch from a live case brief, reviewable exactly as the jury saw it.

03

The Mavara Record

Five dimensions — diligence & accuracy (25%), valuation rigour (25%), strategic judgement (20%), commercial insight (15%) and executive communication (15%) — benchmarked to the cohort average.

04

A filtered, interview-ready shortlist

The best students across Europe, ranked and consent-gated, are handed to your recruiting team ready to interview.
