FAQ Select (Frequently asked questions)

We are the all-inclusive career planner for you and your talents. You can send us all kinds of jobs, but you should always keep in mind that we are not a miracle cure. With difficult jobs that you haven’t had filled in months, we won’t have it easy either.

The naming of job titles, competencies, training or study courses in digitization are diverse. It is no longer possible to keep track of this. The hijob AI keeps track and recognizes which job titles, which experience, which studies fit your searched qualifications and why.

Our hijob AI…

• understands resumes cohesively
• analyzes thousands of profiles within minutes
• recognizes patterns of sought-after qualifications and skills that are difficult to identify manually
• ensures that any exciting talent is immediately displayed for you to act quickly
• ensures that you save time and money

With pleasure. We have compiled some case studies for you below.

In this video (4 min) we show you the whole Select process (German):

The process in detail:

1. You send us your job ads via…

• XML-Feed
• Word
• Link to the job on your career page
• PDF cannot be processed.

2. Your job ads will be created by our editorial team on hijob.me. The required qualifications of the respective vacancy are coordinated with you. This is done as part of our onboarding process and continuous support from your personal contact person (see also: „Onboarding“).

3. Your job ads now activate candidates through 2 sources:
Active applications: from talents who discover your job ads on hijob.me, via our AI global alert or our multiposting partner sites.
Your job ad actively searches our daily growing talent pool with talents around digitalization. From this, the most suitable and actively searching talents are identified in just a few hours and sent to you anonymously.

4. We make all profiles available to you anonymously in the hijob-Select dashboard. There you can easily view and rate the profiles and send an interview request with 1 click.

Once your onboarding has been completed, your work is limited to screening and evaluating the proposed talents. Your reference person will contact you on a regular basis to provide ongoing support for the collaboration. On average, our customers view approx. 80 – 100 profiles within 30 minutes – and also send the interview requests in this time. All with just a few clicks.

In order to start Select, onboarding must be completed.

As part of the onboarding process, we ask for all the information required to start Select: company information such as contact person, address, user of the SELECT dashboard, images and logo for the company profile, etc.

As soon as this information is complete, we can get started.

No, we take care of all the necessary editorial work. You have no manual effort at all.

Of course! We don’t leave you on your own and provide you with personal account managers. They will accompany you through the Select process and will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.

Yes, the hijob Select dashboard. There you can conveniently view, rate and manage all profiles. You get the access from your personal contact person at hijob.

The profiles of our talents are made available to you in the hijob SELECT dashboard. You only need to log in there and can evaluate the profiles conveniently and quickly. We will inform you regularly when new profiles are stored in your dashboard so that you can react immediately.

Initial access to Select is provided by your personal contact.

After creating your job ads, it takes between 24 and 48 hours to receive the first profiles. After the initial dispatch, you will immediately receive each matching profile as soon as our AI has identified a talent that is interesting for you. So that no time is lost, we inform you by mail that new exciting talents are available in your dashboard.

You view them in your Select dashboard and rate the talents using the dashboard buttons in the blue box at the bottom right. It only takes one click. It couldn’t be easier.

Generally, there are two ways in the blue box at the bottom right under a talent’s profile to rate them. These are:

• »Fits the job« – The talent fits the job.
  Click this button if the profile appeals to you. The talent is immediately informed about your interest. The talent will then receive your entire job description, including the location, tasks, qualifications, benefits, information about your company – and can thus evaluate whether they are interested in your offer and you may contact the talent.

• »Does not fit at all« – The talent doesn’t fit. Neither to this, nor to any other job.
  Every now and then, our AI links talents to the wrong jobs. If you notice this, our consultants are happy to be notified. Just like us humans, an AI still has to learn 😉 In this case, the talent does not receive any information about your selection! This button is only intended for our internal quality optimization.

You have rated a talent as interesting with the „Fits the job“ button. Then we sent the talent an application on your behalf. If the talent responds positively, you have a „match“. You then immediately receive the talent’s complete application documents and contact data in Select, so that you can enter into a dialogue.

At the beginning, the talents are anonymized. Only if both you and the talent are interested in an exchange – i.e. if you have a „match“ – will the contact details of the respective talent be automatically released to you so that you can contact them immediately.

In the near future, you will be able to send „matches“ – i.e. suitable talents who have signaled interest in your job offer – by email not only to your own email address, but also to any contact person from your affiliated departments.

Currently you have the possibility to forward the profile as PDF to your mail address. From there, you can forward it directly to your ATS, provided your ATS can import emails including attachments.

Soon we will also offer first integrations into applicant management systems. First connected ATS will be Softgarden, Personio will follow afterwards.

To ensure that we present you with the most suitable candidates, we coordinate the qualifications of the job ads in a personal exchange with you. You decide how narrowly or coarsely filters should be set and what, if any, special attention should be paid to.

This is an iterative process that gets better and better as we work together. After a few passes, we have a good understanding of how you set your priorities and what our hijob AI needs to consider.

This varies from industry to industry and from job role to job role. On average, every second profile proposed receives an interview request. There are jobs where the rate is higher and there are jobs where the rate is lower. And we also find that sometimes it’s subjective criteria.

There are comparable talents who are rated as attractive by one company – and marked as „not a fit“ by others. That’s why the 50% figure is a guideline.

hijob takes a wide variety of measures to ensure that requested talents respond to your application. This also succeeds for the most part – but unfortunately not always. This can have different reasons, but we can’t force anyone’s luck.

You receive talent from two sources:

1. Direct applications from talents who have become aware of your vacancies as part of multi-channel marketing
2. Talent from our existing talent pool

All talents are listed anonymously in the hijob Select dashboard for their respective jobs. For quick and easy viewing and processing.

The simplicity and transparency excites talents, so they create their profile at hijob. We gain contact with the talents through various channels:

1. Multiposting
2. External connected talent pools
3. Out initiative treesforjobs, see https://www.treesforjobs.org/
4. specialized thematic campaigns
5. Cooperation partners

We currently have >50,000 active specialists and managers in the pool. Around 70% of these are academics. The pool is growing by around 3,000 talents per month, and the trend is upwards.

hijob is increasingly focusing on the jobs and talents that are particularly needed for digitization in the following areas:

• Sales / CRM
• Marketing / Online-Marketing
• Software development / IT / Data Analytics
• Process optimization/ Process analysis
• Commercial functions
• Assistance/ BackOffice

Currently hijob cannot help in the following areas:

• health care
• Medicine
• Craft
• industrial activities (Helpers activities)

Through our diverse measures, we attract talent from all regions of Germany.
However, our focus is on digitization talents in the following regions:

• Berlin and surrounding area
• Rhineland (Bonn, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Leverkusen and surrounding area)
  

The way to hijob is fast and goes quite easily:

1. After you have contacted us, you will receive two emails from hijob:
   The first mail („We are looking forward to working with you“) asks for general data for your company profile such as contact details or general information about your company.
   If this mail was processed, the second mail will be sent to you automatically. The images for your company profile (e.g. your logo) are requested. The size ratios and file formats are also included here.
2. Your profile will then be created by our editorial team.
   You will receive a link from us for verification.

If we have all the necessary information, which we request from you in our onboarding e-mails, your profile is usually created within one working day (Monday-Friday) and you can get started.

No problem! We can create each location including the contact person for you individually. Please inform us about all locations including all contact persons during onboarding.

In the user administration of Select, 4 different roles can be assigned:

As an admin, you can add employees to the Select dashboard, view and rate talent profiles.

As a recruiter, you have the authorisation to view and evaluate talent profiles.

As a member of a specialist department, you can view talent profiles, but you cannot evaluate them.

Members of a specialist department who do not need access to Select can be assigned the role specialist department without access. You can use Select to send these users CVs of interesting talents, but these users can’t log into Select and therefore don’t have access to the entire talent list or the profiles within Select.
