Award for BEST RECRUITER 2015/16

Bruchsal, July 17, 2015: On July 14, 2015, SEW-EURODRIVE was awarded the BEST RECRUITERS seal for Germany. The Bruchsal-based drive specialist won first place in the machinery and systems engineering industry and was fourth-placed overall. The award is the result of a representative study and is bestowed by GPK Event- und Kommunikationsmanagement GmbH (Vienna).

The BEST RECRUITERS initiative () is designed to assess recruitment processes at companies in the German-speaking world. The study is based on four key pillars:

  • Online recruitment presence
  • Online job advertisements and markets
  • Interaction with applicants
  • Applicant feedback

SEW-EURODRIVE scored highly in all areas, which include a total of 101 different criteria. “At SEW-EURODRIVE, it is people who make the difference. Receiving this award shows that this isn’t just a theoretical concept, but is also actively demonstrated in the way we communicate with applicants,” says Dr. Hilmar Döring, HR Manager at SEW-EURODRIVE.

About the study
