Talents

Focus on growing your business instead of searching for people

One of the biggest inhibitors to business growth and regional expansion our clients tell us about is finding the right talent. So often we hear that the expansion to a new region is stalled until they have on-board the person who is ready, knows how to- and is willing to take on the responsibility which comes with the position.
By partnering with us, you will gain access to our industry know-how, network and our structured recruitment process, all exclusive to Alexander Daniels Global and IT Di-Visions in Switzerland.

How to

How does it work?

Our signature hiring process is created with these topics in mind:

• Your Time: Once we start working with you, we are able to identify and anticipate the causes and hidden costs of recruitment that may appear when the process takes longer than expected, and we will aim to mitigate those causes efficiently, with your time in mind. After all, we do our job, so you can focus on doing yours.
 
• Best possible match: our client briefing interviews are tailored in a way to identify, in your own words, the crucial needs connected to the position you are hiring for. Very often we get the feedback that our briefing process helps to nail down the specific requirements for the job description, which ensures that the perfect match can be made from our candidate pool.
 
• Our Planning: we plan together with you the recruitment process ahead for great candidate experience and for efficient recruitment.
 
• Clarity and honest communication: we agree with our clients on clear and honest communication to ensure a successful collaboration. Having all decision-makers on the same page is how we like to get started.
 
• Our consultants come from the AM industry: most of our consultants worked at OEM’s before, understand AM technologies and they bring all their experience into the collaboration.

«We’ll use our network and our own recruiters first in finding talent»

Oftentimes our clients prefer to leverage their own network when it comes to building core teams or hiring specialists. Although it’s time consuming, this is a great way to find talent when it’s done right. First hires tend to leave the business after a certain growth phase has been reached, because they are simply not aligned with the direction of the business any longer, or because they feel that their skillset is not longer suitable for future business needs.
Why not hire people for the long-term and build your teams more efficiently than most companies do?

When a business has their own recruitment team and hiring is done internally with recruiters who have no or very little knowledge of the additive manufacturing industry or the talent market, the time to hire can be 4-5 longer than with a specialized agency like ours. The hidden costs of recruitment in such unfortunate cases are higher than an agency’s placement fee.

Being able to speak with high profile candidates on eye level is crucial when you are engaging them with your vacant position. Our consultants from our Partnership come from the AM industry: most of us worked at OEM’s before, understand AM technologies and they bring all their experience in the collaboration.

Is there a way to combine leveraging your own network and our expertise in hiring talent?
Our answer is yes. Get in touch with Iulia Oprea to start a conversation about your talent goals: jobs@di-visions.ch
