Was macht einen tollen Bewerber aus?

It has to be defined by the positive impact they make to the business. That could be through their engagement and energy they bring to the team to help achieve our mission, their creative capabilities to outpace the competition and lead the market and a laser focus on helping our customers succeed.

Warum SmartRecruiters?

I have worked for several HCM providers start-up, hyper growth and global giants. I know the ingredients it takes to build a successful business in this space. I can see a huge opportunity which has been created by the legacy providers falling behind the market needs, the rise in the use of technology both in recruiting and as a consumer and constant challenges organisations face when hiring talent to meet their business objectives. I deliberately came back to recruitment technology as the market was ripe for disruption. At SmartRecruiters we have the perfect combination of experienced leadership, a modern platform with mature marketplace and a strategy focused on our customers ‘Hiring Success’.

Welche Funktion gefällt dir am besten?

My favourite aspect of SmartRecruiters is the SmartAssistant based on our own proprietary AI. Being an ex-recruiter, I see immense value on the job fit scoring and stack ranking and ability to focus recruiters attention on engaging with the right candidates instead on 'eye balling' CVs. I also love the fact it helps remove bias in the process. Productivity and diversity are two huge themes running across Talent Acquisition right now and this one feature addresses both.

Was war dein allererster Job?

My first student job was as a summer season farm hand. It was really tough work and very different from my subsequent career, but I enjoyed the challenge. My first professional role post-MBA was in a consulting firm where I learned how to rapidly understand key business requirements and company goals. After that, I joined the IT and technology space and continue to find it fascinating to be in heart of digital transformation.

Was macht einen tollen Bewerber aus?

I evaluate more on behavior than skills because you can more easily teach skills than change a mindset. A great hire is curios, always in the learning curve, passionate about the role, and seeks to make a positive impact on the company.

Warum SmartRecruiters?

Being part of the growth, development and success of a startup is both challenging and rewarding. I joined SmartRecruiters because I am deeply convinced that we have the right people, the right product, and the right market for the future of recruiting solutions.

Welche Funktion gefällt dir am besten?

We all use hundreds of applications, software, and tools so, from my perspective, simplicity is king!

SmartRecruiters is the counter to the legacy ATS — in that it’s easy to use, easy to configure, easy to implement, and, for candidates, easy to apply. What else do you need?
