International high potentials for Germany

The 40 international MBA degree students at Pforzheim University loved the lecture "How to Apply" by Björn Knothe, CEO of the Stuttgart recruitment agency division one. The international leaders of tomorrow are preparing for the challenges of the German labor market and therefore took the opportunity to obtain information and advice about the application process and the German labor market directly from the experts. "All 40 students who have completed a first degree in their home countries and may already have up to eight years of work experience have replied to my question about where they see their future that they want to continue their careers in Germany within the next year," says Knothe. This is a good thing, because with their linguistic skills and intercultural experiences from their home countries, these high potentials are indispensable for the German labor market of the future.

Shortage of skilled workers? Blame yourself!

For the same position, one company hires its perfect employee; the other company keeps looking unsuccessfully. The origin of this dilemma doesn't lie in a tough job market but rather in their own mistakes. And those mistakes are usually based on an outdated self-image. Flexibility is another topic that leads to crucial mistakes. "Many people are no longer willing to relocate for a job with the whole family and therefore want to spend a day working in a home office. For companies, this still is something difficult to do," says Knothe, CEO of the recruitment agency division one.

Time to make friends

"We're doing very well, which is why we want to give back to others."

Because of this thought, the idea arose to offer often severely disadvantaged children and young people a great joint activity in order to get them out of their familiar and often difficult environment and give them an unusual experience. Since 2011, the entire division one company as well as children and young people of St. Joseph in Stuttgart have taken part in joint sports activities every year. In recent years, at our common HAPPY DAY, we went on ventures such as canoeing on the river Neckar, forest climbing, raft building on a lake, a GPS scavenger hunt and a visit to the production facilities of Porsche.

They pull off their job

Interim Management – to temporarily help run businesses – is a growth area. Especially for Baden Württemberg, with its diverse business landscape, that is the case. According to Björn Knothe, head of recruitment agency division one, foreign service providers have discovered the market and are racing to take advantage.

Equip yourself for change

Interim Management is booming. This was shown at the largest industry event, the International Interim Management Meeting 2014 in Dusseldorf.

Prior to the event, the members of the parent company Deutsches Interim Management Association elected a new board. Dr. Marei Strack was confirmed as chairman.

He came, just to leave again

Where to turn if you don’t know what to do? Interim Management is booming – not only in times of crisis. Helmuth Raschke is a temporary manager. For 15 years, he has moved through the country from company to company.
