valuable recruiting tips

Companies of all sizes are regularly on the lookout for qualified, experienced and highly motivated employees. But how do you find new employees who fulfil the requirements of the job advertisement in an optimum way? Even though the qualifications of the future employees are very important, your own company presentation plays a decisive role when it comes to attracting the attention of the future applicants. This is where you can present and therefore score points with your company philosophy and the company-specific advantages and attractive benefits.

Good personnel recruiting is a mammoth task which requires a considerable amount of instinct, but also the necessary know-how of what the ever-changing job market requires. In the same way as companies should formulate their requirements precisely to the applicants, it is also a case of knowing the expectations and needs of the applicants in order to achieve an optimum match between the advertised job and the people who are applying for it.

We provide you with valuable recruiting tips and orientation for your targeted employee recruitment.

What can you consider when you are planning your personnel?

A company's success always depends on its employees. Precise planning of human resources is therefore essential in order to be competitive and survive during times of skills shortages and demographic change. Companies are currently facing the major task and challenge of reaching the next generation, quickly filling open positions, familiarising new team members remotely or meeting increasing demands.

You should therefore proceed in three steps with qualitative personnel planning:

  1. Define the services that your employees should provide in the future.
  2. Define requirements that result from the services.
  3. Derive qualifications that your employees must have in order to be able to meet the requirements.

However, regardless of how well prepared your requirement profile may be, it is possible that the candidates that you are looking for do not apply for the job which you have advertised.

Because even if applicants are not a perfect match for your requirement profile, they should be taken into consideration. They are often very flexible and very motivated to carry out further training and familiarise themselves with new topics. Be flexible and recognise the potential that some applicants bring with them. You can effectively counteract the skills shortage in this way. The trend is towards rehiring: check whether former employees are interested in working with you again. This saves you training time and you know what makes the person tick.

The perfect job advertisement – your trump card in personnel recruiting

A job advertisement that is as precise as possible shows that you know exactly who you are looking for and for which position. On the other hand, it gives applicants a detailed insight into possible work areas and assignments within your company.

Use the following guidelines as a guide, and give your applicants a good description of their future role:

  1. 1  
  2. Begin your job advertisement with details of the position, the scope of employment, a concise job description and a brief introduction of your company.

  3. 2  
  4. Describe the main tasks and, if applicable, point out special features (e.g. intensive travel activity).

  5. 3  
  6. Provide details of the qualifications required

  7. 4  
  8. Indicate the preferred start date and place of work

  9. 5  
  10. Also inform about the contact details of the contact person including the address for sending the application documents

  11. 6  
  12. Tell your candidates how the application process works for you

Salary plays a role in every vacancy, but you do not have to make a statement about it in the advertisement. However, you can give your applicants some guidance or ask them about their salary expectations.

This is how you bind your staff to your company in the long term

Great, you have found and hired suitable candidates for your company. But in order to retain your staff in the long term, it is not only your employees who have to go about their work. As a company, you should also offer incentives so that you can benefit from each other over the long term.

In addition to good personnel management, there should be a creative, demanding and attractive work environment. Flexible working time models as well as incentive and trainee programs can also lead to a high level of satisfaction among your employees. In this way, you are giving them the opportunity for further development within the company, which is a factor from which you will also benefit.
