"It's all about finding suitable profiles as quickly as possible, so our processes run much faster than in a traditional HR department".

After studying sports management, Sina had not initially thought about a career with a personnel service provider. Actually, she wanted to become a sports journalist. But often things turn out differently than one thinks. Through a former fellow student she became aware of Hays and the personnel service industry. "She told me about the entry opportunities and said that I could fit in well with my open-mindedness," explains Sina. That's how it came about that she started as a Recruiting Specialist in Mannheim in 2016. After getting to know the candidate side of the business intensively over the past few years and being promoted to Senior Recruiting Specialist in the meantime, she recently switched to the position of Account Manager and has since been supporting clients in the IT environment with regard to the use of freelance specialists.

As a Recruiting Specialist, Sina placed freelancers in the IT sector with companies in the Rhine-Neckar region and accompanied the entire recruiting process from the customer inquiry to the customer's acceptance. For her, recruiting in the personnel service industry means to adjust to a company and the position to be filled each time. In order to get a comprehensive picture of the customer's requirements, she sometimes went with the account managers from her team to customer meetings or was present during telephone consultations. In these meetings, the customer's priorities are defined and the qualifications and skills that the ideal candidate should have. "It's all about finding suitable profiles as quickly as possible. Speed is our unique selling point. As a result, our processes run much more efficiently than in a traditional HR department," explains Sina.

Over time, she has learned to assess how high the probability of filling individual positions is and when it is worthwhile to search for longer. Sina knows only too well how important a good network is. It is not uncommon for specialists whom she contacts about a position to recommend other candidates to whom the position could also fit. That is why she attaches great importance to a good relationship with her candidates. All in all, the specialists and executives addressed usually respond very positively to your calls, since many companies often fill their positions through personnel service providers and the job offers are therefore often a very good door opener.

From her team and colleagues she experiences great appreciation for her work. Just recently she replaced a colleague during his vacation and won a big contract. "When everyone is happy and I can provide added value for all parties through my work, it's a great feeling," says Sina.
