Our Recruitment Process
In the interest of the successfully fulfilling our company’s ambitious objectives, our Human Resources (HR) strategy aims to ensure that vacancies are filled by the best suited and most talented candidates. The attainment of this goal is supported by our sophisticated selection process, which focuses primarily on the expertise factor.
During the first phase of the selection process, the HR department shortlists the candidates pursuant to the needs of the individual units and then uses the technique that is best suited to appraising the knowledge and skills necessary for the given job. The line managers play an important role in this phase, while HR supports selection.
The representatives of various functions are involved in the highly comprehensive selection process. In the interest of providing an objective assessment of the candidate’s knowledge and skills, several persons are requested to take part in the assessment process, and we are therefore convinced that our decisions are well-founded and objective.
We maintain continuous dialogue with the candidates during the various phases of the selection process, and if requested, we provide them with detailed feedback.
Selection techniques
We typically use multiple selection techniques in the course of our recruitment processes. Our most frequently used methods are as follows:
Curriculum Vitae (CV)
Based on the CVs at its disposal, HR conducts a pre-selection by identifying and rejecting those candidates who obviously do not meet the requirements necessary for the given job. We inform these candidates of our decision by mail.
Testing
In the interest of prompt and objective filtering, the staff members of HR hold examinations to facilitate the selection process with tests. The tests are conducted and assessed, and feedback is provided, exclusively by specified trained HR personnel.
Interview
The head of the unit concerned or the head of HR, conducts an interview to ascertain competence and/or the candidate’s level of specialist knowledge.
Assessment Centre
Between four and six experienced members of our Assessment Centre (AC), jointly decide on the suitability of candidates. The assessment is based on the standard of performance displayed by the candidates in completion of between three and six tasks and on the basis of the assessment criteria related to the position applied for. The assessment criteria serve to provide as true a picture as possible of the candidate’s leadership and managerial skills.
The assessment focuses primarily on the candidate’s attitude and behaviour.
Typical tasks of the Assessment Centre:
Presentation task
Role playing
Team exercises
Fact finding exercises
;) i hope this will help.
