Employers : How to find the right employees for you
By Career Counseling

The more precisely you know which employees you want, the more confident you will be in finding the right ones. To do this, describe as precisely as possible

  • the main tasks and success criteria to be fulfilled
  • necessary key qualifications: e.g. education, experience
  • personal competencies: e.g. social competence, temperament, self-motivation, attitude towards work, handling tensions etc.
  • working environment and conditions: e.g. place of work, colleagues

Common mistakes in practice:

  • old job descriptions are used without updating
  • Tasks for newly created positions are described inaccurately

Reading applications and making a good pre-selection takes time. The more precisely you describe who you are looking for and what your new employees can expect, the more certain the right applicants will come forward.
