Due to the differences in German labor legislation compared to, for example, American legislation, a multi-stage recruitment process, especially for managers, is essential for us.
The so-called alpha error (i.e. a candidate is hired for a position for which he/she is not suitable) has a number of monetary and time-related consequences, as the position has to be re-advertised and remains vacant for longer than necessary.
A multi-stage recruiting process therefore offers several advantages. Firstly, it enables companies to consider a larger number of candidates and thus make a better selection and better assess their skills and suitability for a particular position. Another advantage is that the multi-stage process helps to avoid wrong decisions and increases the likelihood that the candidates hired will be successful in the long term. It can also improve the company’s image and increase the number of applications for future vacancies.

A multi-stage recruiting process usually involves several steps to ensure that the candidate is qualified and suitable for the position. The process can vary depending on the company and position, but typically looks like this:
1. Post job advertisements or contact suitable candidates through direct approach
2. Check and filter applications with regard to formal qualifications within the four management skills areas (technical, methodological, social and personal skills)
3. Carry out a general social media check
4. Conduct short preliminary telephone interviews with the most promising candidates
5. Conduct a personal, skills-based interview (based on the job advertisement), which can involve various people from the company
6. Conduct an aptitude diagnostic interview (based on the job profile) that tests interdisciplinary qualifications and/or conduct an assessment center
7. Obtain references from former superiors or colleagues
This course is suitable for recruiters with or without professional experience and includes detailed guidance on how to successfully conduct a multi-stage recruitment process to ensure your employer attracts and hires the best talent.
