In the post-merger integration phase, a global technology company decided to place recruitment in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Spain on a secure footing over an extended period of time. One element of this project was for the company to hire an experienced part-time interim recruitment manager. The expert was not only to be responsible for operational recruitment and the strategic selection of personnel service providers, but also manage overall sourcing for interim and consulting assignments in global IT.
When selecting a candidate, it was important to those in charge for the interim recruitment manager to have a proactive approach as well as extensive experience gained in comparable recruitment projects. In addition, excellent communication skills were required in order to liaise effectively with direct interfaces and stakeholders.
