Lack of skilled labour in German companies - and the situation is getting worse.
There is a shortage of staff everywhere and many companies are desperately looking for employees. In addition, there can be no climate change without skilled labour, and the skilled trades are in greater demand than ever. "We at SCHEIDT also need qualified personnel for the new challenges that are just around the corner. Precisely because we are one of the top SMEs in Germany, we need to counteract the shortage of skilled labour as quickly as possible. Of course we want to attract potential new
We want to appeal to employees, but not with this clumsy "We're looking for you!", which is what every second person prints on their car," says Georgine Scheidt, Managing Director of the company.

How SCHEIDT stands out from the crowd with an unusual approach.
But how do you find the employees you want when the prevailing opinion is that it makes no sense to search in the first place at the moment or that it would be better to save on advertising measures for recruitment from the outset?
On the one hand, by offering numerous convincing employee benefits and, on the other hand, by focussing on the human touch, especially with the management. The advantages of working at SCHEIDT are in particular: the 1-shift system for regular working hours and the familiar, appreciative working atmosphere. Opportunities for further training and promotion in a crisis-proof industry are also a decisive factor, as the demand for energy will continue to rise steadily in the coming years, even if other industries are in crisis.

Access to promotion - the "New Opportunities Bus".
As a highly visible symbol to raise the company's profile, a strikingly designed bus will be travelling throughout the Ilm district (Thuringia county) for 36 months to appeal to all trades and professions in production. For all those who are looking and would like to be found, in particular electricians, reinforced concrete workers, fitters, technical draughtsmen, sales staff, designers and painters.

Special recruiting films instead of shark tank "classic job offers".
In addition, numerous short clips were developed in which employees speak authentically and directly about their workplace, the benefits and the team. In short sequences, from locksmiths to sales staff, the films reinforce the job offers on the homepage. This arouses genuine interest in the company for the three locations Arnstadt, Hoyerswerda and Rinteln. Because people take centre stage and
progressive action and thinking becomes personally visible. It's high time to discover this for yourself as part of the SCHEIDT team:
