IT recruitment - how to attract IT specialists to your company
As we all know by now, there is a shortage of skilled labour in Germany, which also affects IT specialistsapplies. It can therefore be a real challenge to find the right personnel in this area.
If you are looking for the right IT staff, you can score points with something as simple as a car park, a good working atmosphere, lunch or the like. You can get really creative here. Of course, it can be a challenge to find something that suits this target group. IT people in particular are a special breed. There are also around 82,000 jobs for IT people in Germany, so you have a lot of competition to compete with.
What can you do now to recruit IT people?
IT specialists are not willing to change their place of residence for a job. It is therefore an advantage that you advertise and look for staff in the vicinity of your company. Flexible working hours and the option of working from home are also important to them. So these are clear plus points if you offer this.
Another difference to other professional groups is that young IT specialists in particular are not necessarily looking for a traditional career. Instead, they prefer to specialise and become an expert in their field. It is therefore important that the job is exciting and appeals to them.
Another important point is expertise. It is important that the external perception is right so that the employer is recognised in the IT sector. However, it is also important that the head of the IT department has the necessary expertise in-house.
In the IT sector in particular, state-of-the-art work equipment is of course also important. It is therefore important to provide the appropriate equipment. Short communication channels support collaboration. Present yourself best if your company has low and flexible hierarchies. This helps employees enormously.
Sometimes it's just the little things that make a difference in finding the right IT specialists for your company. These can be things as simple as a good working atmosphere, which every employee actually appreciates. The place of work is also important for employees. It can be small things that make them feel comfortable, be it a place by the window or plants. Of course, a fair salary is always a clear advantage when you are looking for staff.
But even something as simple as a fruit basket that is regularly delivered to the office is something that employees pay attention to.
