Recruitment

In a nutshell: What's it all about?

Filling a position involves analysing the organisation, defining tasks and qualifications, initiating the recruitment process (with internal mobility where necessary), job advertisement and selection process, as well as onboarding.

Opportunities and possibilities

With the right person filling the vacancy, you can optimise your team for the future and, for example, adapt processes, services and structures to current and future circumstances. The search for the right team member is rewarded with significant added value.

Self-reflection: Am I applying my social and leadership competencies effectively?

Driving innovation:

Are these geared towards future needs and requirements?
What improvements could the new team member introduce?

Living inclusivity

Have I treated everyone the same during the process?
Did I discover any of my own prejudices during the recruitment process?
Was I able to put these prejudices aside when filling the vacancy?

Empowering people:

Could internal candidates make the next development step?
Have I kept the team / key players continuously informed and involved them in the process?
