– IT experts the focus of a specially developed team recruiting site
– Concept offers companies a whole new way to present IT sector positions
– Technical implementation based on the Global JobBoard by milch & zucker

Bad Nauheim, 24/11/2017 – A joint pioneering project by milch & zucker and German Telekom was honoured during the 2017 HR Excellence Awards. The collaboration focused on a team recruiting website specially developed for IT experts. The site was consistently designed with the needs of the target audience in mind, to help IT professionals find what they’re looking for more quickly: Positions with exciting duties in an expert team that matches their abilities.

Job seekers can filter positions based on the skills and programming tools used – along with detailed information on future team members.

Each year, the HR Excellence Awards honour innovative and forward-thinking projects in HR management that add fresh perspectives to HR work through creative thinking. Telekom joined with milch & zucker to take 1st place in the “Career website (Group)” category for a jointly developed concept.

Instead, they want to know what they’re working on and who they’re working with. The team recruiting website provides all this information, including concrete project insights. “Half of all IT experts want to get to know the team during their interviews. We asked ourselves: Why keep such important information from candidates?” explains Ingolf Teetz, CEO of milch & zucker.What IT experts expect in interviews:

The Telekom team recruiting website offers IT experts a whole new way to access positions advertised at Telekom. It has a streamlined page structure and is tailored to the search behaviour of the target audience. Potential IT candidates can access the field they’d like to work in with just a few clicks. First, they can check whether companies are looking for their skills. Then they can compare the “cultural fit”. Finally, they can select an exciting project.“Each applicant can dive deep into the information to get to know the actual diversity of work methods, topics, and tasks, as well as people. After all, people make the difference. And humanity, a team feeling, and transparency are key when determining which companies IT experts apply with”, summarises Ute Neher, Head of Personal Marketing for Deutsche Telekom.“We worked with Telekom to find practical solutions to offer people with unique IT skills true added value for their job search – I tihnk we’re on the right path with the team recruiting site”, emphasises milch & zucker CEO Ingolf Teetz. From a technical standpoint, implementing the team recruiting site is another recruiting channel integrated into the existing Telekom career website. All of the jobs shown already exist; they are simply being presented for target audience specific display in a new and fully automated process. The Telekom team recruiting site is based on the “BeeSite Global JobBoard” software solution by milch & zucker. It allows the company to easily assemble additional marketing channels to recruit specialists, with a consistent corporate look & feel and independent of the HR software being used in the background. The customer doesn’t have to make any additional structural investments, and can retain their existing IT landscape. The team recruiting website is still under construction, and will be expanded in stages through the end of the year. A total of 15 teams and their jobs will be integrated into the site by that time. Then the company plans to continue ongoing development.

“We are using this innovative approach to turn earlier communication models on their heads. Our team pages fill the vacuum that existed in the past between classic career websites and classic job searches, summarises Ute Neher, Head of Personnel Marketing at Deutsche Telekom. “Combined with social sharing opportunities for easily sharing with friends or posting on professional forums, or for a team job subscription. We have built a page that shows what makes Telekom unique: our teams and the people behind them.”
