PROJECT EXAMPLE:

SMART RECRUITING @ HR CREW

Optimizing the recruiting process for a small and medium-sized enterprise


Background:


The company is a medium-sized enterprise with approximately 30 employees in the service sector. Their previous recruiting process was inefficient and time-consuming, making it difficult to hire qualified candidates in a timely manner. The company decided to optimize its recruiting process to save time and resources and improve the quality of its hires.



Objective:


  • Optimizing the hiring process: Shortening the entire recruiting cycle from candidate search to hiring.
  • Improving the quality of hires: Identifying candidates who are a good professional and cultural fit for the company.
  • Efficiency improvement: Using modern technologies to make the process more transparent and efficient.


Measures:


Needs analysis and job profile

  • The HR team, together with the respective department heads and the management, conducted a thorough needs analysis to determine the exact requirements for the position to be filled.
  • Based on this analysis, a detailed job profile was created that describes the professional, personal and cultural requirements for the candidate.


Candidate search

  • The job posting was published on the company website, on job portals and on relevant social media.
  • By specifically searching for and contacting candidates in professional networks such as LinkedIn, passive applicants can also be reached.


Applicant selection

  • An applicant management system was implemented using existing resources to manage and track the application process.
  • A standardized selection process was defined, which includes interviews, personal tests and cultural fit assessments.


Interview Structure

  • Structured interviews were developed that are tailored to the requirements defined in the job profile.
  • Questions were developed to determine the conformity with the previously defined company values.
  • Panel interviews, in which representatives from different departments participate, allow for a more comprehensive evaluation of the candidates.


Cultural fit

  • Candidates have the opportunity to get to know the company and its corporate culture through company presentations or site visits.


Feedback and evaluation

  • After each hiring decision, a feedback loop was implemented to analyze how well the hiring met expectations.
  • The recruiting process is regularly reviewed and adjusted as needed to ensure continuous improvement.



Results:


Optimizing the recruiting process improved the quality of hires and increased process efficiency. Employee turnover decreased, and the company was better able to achieve its growth targets.

The implementation of modern technologies and the focus on cultural fit helped to attract qualified candidates who are available to the company in the long term and thus contribute to the company's success.
