The search for and selection of suitable job candidates, the handling of recruitment processes and the targeted development of a candidate pool. This and a lot more is part of Konstantin's job. He is a Recruiting Manager at Fresenius and is responsible for recruiting new employees for Fresenius Digital Technology and the corporate division of Fresenius SE. In this video, Konstantin shows what his working day at Fresenius headquarters in Bad Homburg looks like.
Konstantin is responsible for sourcing, screening and selecting candidates and then conducting the interviews. In doing so, he focuses on a consistently positive candidate experience. This means offering candidates the best possible and smoothest possible application process - from the first contact to the signing of the contract. To achieve this, it is also important to build good working relationships with relevant stakeholders within the organization, e.g. specialists and managers. During the recruiting process, it is also important not to lose sight of relevant key figures and to further optimize the sourcing channels accordingly.
What should not be missing for Konstantin? Clearly - the applicant management system, Outlook and, of course, coffee and snacks!
For him, the exciting thing about recruiting is the exchange with candidates. At the same time, the right choice has to be made from the large number of candidates in order to fill a vacancy. “Every vacancy is challenging in its own way, as each one has its own special characteristics and you never know what to expect,” says Konstantin.
But why exactly recruiting at Fresenius? The answer to this question is easy for him: “On one hand, I appreciate the generally positive atmosphere during the recruiting/hiring phases and the consistently positive cooperation with the specialist departments and hiring managers. On the other hand the collaboration within my team also thrives on mutual support, a positive atmosphere and regular exchanges on various recruiting topics.”
Through the recruiting processes, he is constantly getting to know new people and often represents the first impression of Fresenius as the initial contact for candidates. He also has to maintain good contacts and gain people's trust - both internally and externally. In conclusion, Konstantin describes his work as “varied, representative and trusting”.
