The existing process was fragmented, time-consuming, and led to inconsistencies in the applicant experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, the demands for speed, transparency, and quality in recruitment increased. The company had to recruit several hundred skilled workers and apprentices for craft and commercial professions annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The objective was an end-to-end redesign of the entire recruitment process \u2013 from workforce planning to successful onboarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Approach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">gr\u00fcnlicht took charge of project management for the redesign, ran workshops with HR, specialist departments and the works council, and developed a holistic, standardised process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All process steps were re-designed, harmonised and integrated into modern digital systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The main focuses were:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Staffing<br>Introduction of a systematic forecasting and planning process<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Job advertisements and channels<br>Standardisation of job advertisements and definition of cross-channel recruitment strategies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Application processes:<br>Simplification and digitalisation of the application process, including mobile optimisation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Selection process<br>Development of clear and fair criteria, structured interviews and digital testing procedures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quotation and contract process<br>Standardisation of quotations and contract creation, as well as integration into existing HR systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Onboarding and initial training<br>Development of a unified onboarding process, including welcome days, e-learning modules, and initial training.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Candidate Journey Design<br>Definition of key touchpoints and improvement of the candidate experience<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Digitisation of processes:<br>Introduction of automations for communication and scheduling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Training and Change Management:<br>Training of recruiters and managers, and communication measures for internal embedding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Measures in detail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the project, numerous workshops were held with HR, specialist departments, and the works council. The aim was to make existing processes transparent, identify weaknesses, and develop a common target process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on this, a recruitment roadmap was created for all relevant business areas. In addition, a recruitment dashboard was built with key figures such as Time-to-Hire, Cost-per-Hire, and Candidate Experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another focus was on building a talent pool for skilled workers and apprentices. In addition, an employer branding strategy was developed, which was closely integrated with the new processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Continuous End-to-End Recruiting Process<br>From personnel planning to onboarding, a clear, standardised process has been established<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shorter occupancy times:<br>The time-to-hire was reduced through clearer processes and fewer manual steps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better Candidate Experience:<br>Applicants experience the process as more transparent, simpler, and more appreciative.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Higher quality settings:<br>Clearer criteria and structured selection processes improve the fit between candidates and positions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Greater process efficiency:<br>Automations and standards reduce coordination effort and sources of error.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strengthened employer brand<br>The company presents itself in a more modern, consistent, and attractive way during the application process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sustainable scalability:<br>Standardised processes facilitate expansion to new professional groups and locations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Key Learnings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Recruiting must be thought of as an end-to-end process \u2013 only then will the individual steps truly mesh.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Digitalisation and standardisation create speed, transparency and reliability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A positive candidate journey directly impacts the employer brand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Early involvement of specialist departments and the works council ensures acceptance and sustainability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Modernisation of the entire recruitment process \u2013 from workforce planning and application process to selection, contract process and onboarding.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"leistungsbereich":[17,16,20],"branche":[27,25,21],"projekttyp":[46,44,39,43,41,38],"class_list":["post-1524","projekt","type-projekt","status-publish","hentry","leistungsbereich-customer-experience","leistungsbereich-organisation-strategie","leistungsbereich-recruiting-employer-branding","branche-handwerk-ausbildung","branche-kundenservice","branche-wohnungswirtschaft","projekttyp-assessment","projekttyp-change-management","projekttyp-employer-branding","projekttyp-projektleitung","projekttyp-prozessdesign","projekttyp-recruiting"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gruenlicht.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projekt\/1524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gruenlicht.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projekt"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gruenlicht.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/projekt"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.gruenlicht.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projekt\/1524\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1871,"href":"https:\/\/www.gruenlicht.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projekt\/1524\/revisions\/1871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gruenlicht.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"leistungsbereich","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gruenlicht.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/leistungsbereich?post=1524"},{"taxonomy":"branche","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gruenlicht.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/branche?post=1524"},{"taxonomy":"projekttyp","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gruenlicht.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projekttyp?post=1524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
