Recruiter Bianca Wenning
Challenge: A tight candidate market needs a fast pace.
The delicatessen company Lindner is always looking for new employees – especially for sales. The company faces challenges in this regard. For customers, “Butter Lindner”, as the company is called in Berlin, is an example.
Demanding customers expect maximum service orientation and high advisory expertise. Salespeople with relevant experience from other delicatessen companies career changers, such as the hotel and catering industry, particularly internalizing the service concept, are eligible for a job at Lindner. For such salespeople, the market is highly competitive. Good candidates have quickly disappeared from the market. The consequence: Recruiting needs a fast pace.
Against this background, the manual recruitment process used by LINDNER Esskultur eventually reached its limits. In particular, complicated coordination between recruiters and the specialist department slowed the response speed.
Solution: Convince and recruit quickly with softgarden.
Therefore, in July 2020, the company introduced softgarden’s Talent Acquisition Suite. It includes solutions for applicant management (ATS), a search engine-optimized Career Site and the Feedback Solution, automatically generating authentic employer reviews.
