“Culture-based IT recruiting: Why headhunters are superfluous for your company”
This book explores the question of how IT companies – from start-ups to corporations – can continue to find and retain the best employees in the future. Employer branding and headhunting are the two recruiting concepts that IT companies rely on in times of skills shortages. However, these efforts are increasingly rarely crowned with success. Phrases such as “unique development opportunities”, “exciting projects” and “collegial working atmosphere” no longer attract IT experts.
The “hype strategy”, a six-point plan, demands a radical rethink from IT employers in order to recognize what employees really want today. The author draws on his many years of experience as a personnel and strategy consultant and backs up his theses with interviews and practical examples. Concrete recommendations for action accompany you on the way to IT recruiting without headhunters.
