Search process and outcome
Learning für CareerTeam
Einmal mehr erwiesen sich sowohl die konstruktive Partnerschaft mit den Schwesterfirmen der CareerTeam Group, als auch der datengetriebene Ansatz im Zusammenhang mit einem großangelegten, strategischen Projekt als äußerst vorteilhaft. So konnte die Provinzial NordWest trotz der höchst unterschiedlichen Stellenprofile den Suchauftrag in Gänze an CareerTeam geben. Als Teil der Full-Service-Agentur CareerTeam Group kann man den Clients die Ergebnisse aus einer Hand liefern. Die Standortproblematik wurde, wie auch in anderen vergleichbaren Fällen, mithilfe intelligenter Suchalgorithmen gelöst. Auf diese Weise konnten zahlreiche Talente gefunden werden, die in der Region Münster leben oder in der Vergangenheit Bezug dorthin hatten. Darüber hinaus half CareerTeams Input bezüglich möglicher Benefits und sonstiger Konditionen dabei, skeptische Candidates von einem Engagement zu überzeugen.
