“MR. FRIEDRICHS, WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN AI TAKES OVER YOUR JOB IN THE FUTURE? I was asked this question by a nice customer who was introduced to new recruiting systems at the “Zukunft Personal” trade fair and was very impressed by the technological possibilities. The promise of the providers of these AI-based systems is nothing less than the full execution of the recruiting/executive search process. Without Executive Search consultants. Do I have to prepare for early retirement already? Certainly not, and that's exactly what I replied to my client. AI is now making a huge contribution to supporting our executive search process. This is well known. Research work, creation of job postings and reports, predictive analytics, assessments, etc. All these steps in the recruitment process are supported or in some cases completely taken over by AI. And in the case of mass recruitment, AI can already automate the entire process. However, the human factor cannot be completely replaced in the search for executives and high potentials. Especially not in these times of an increasing shortage of skilled people and the war for talent. It's hard to imagine that the executives and talents being courted will exchange their career goals with chatbots in future and accept coaching and advice exclusively from artificial intelligence during their job transition process. In my opinion, this will be the core process in the future in which executive search consultants can make the decisive difference and provide added value for their clients: Communicating and coaching candidates throughout the entire process. We have already mapped this in our current consulting process. Before and after each exchange with our clients, our consultants conduct detailed telephone calls with the candidates - to prepare for the interview, to follow up on the interview and to provide feedback or set the mood for the rest of the process. Or simply to be able to address and dispel reservations and concerns. We call such dialogues with our candidates “touchpoints”. During our executive search mandates, the number of touchpoints per candidate is easily in double figures. These many touchpoints also illustrate the candidates' strong desire for exchange, sparring and coaching. Communication. From human to human. For this reason, AI will not take over my job as executive search consultant in the future. Instead, AI allows me to focus much more intensively on the exchange and dialogue with candidates and make a sustainable contribution to the successful hiring process. #executivesearch #personalberatung #ai #talent #warfortalent #kestria #kestriagermany #friedrichsundpartner

In the last months I repeatedly had discussion with inhouse recruiting teams as well as external recruiting providers about how best to organise their recruiting activities. As activities grow and scale the setup of a recruiting team is essential. As recruiting is clearly not not only about occupying positions; it’s also about how to best structure the set up for effectiveness, efficiency, specialization, and client connections.    Let’s dive into two models.    1. Project-Based Recruiting Team  In this model, a recruiter takes charge of the entire process from the outset to the conclusion.    What’s the impact?  Complete Understanding:  Total oversight of the process leads to enhanced recruitment selections.    Client ties: A robust rapport generates trust and greater alignment.  Obstacles? Recruiters may feel stretched thin coping with everything.    2. Value Chain-Based Recruiting Team  Here, the procedure is partitioned: sourcing, interviewing, contract management—each assigned to a specific person.    Specialization: everyone focuses on value steps where they excel.  Speed: Simultaneous activities = reduced time-to-hire.    Obstacles? There may be communication gaps that occur between the stages.    So, which course to follow?🤔  For projects that are smaller and highly specialized with an emphasis on connections, Project-Based is impeccable.  When it comes to scaling, high-volume efficiency, and speedier results, Value Chain-Based is the way to go.  You might also choose to go hybrid. Balancing deep client connections with specialized teams gives you the best of both worlds.   Whether it’s personalization or scalability, choose the structure that aligns with your organization’s needs.    What’s your method? 👀  Feel free to express your thoughts in the comments section below!  Follow me for more insights on optimizing your recruiting!

The mood continues to improve 📈 Sentiment among startup investors in Germany improved in the first quarter of 2024, according to the KfW and BVK Investor Barometer. The indicator rose by 6.7 points to minus 20.5. The improvement is primarily attributed to the prospect of interest rate cuts, which make investments more attractive. The fundraising climate in the VC market has also improved slightly, but is still in negative territory. This is due to rising exit proceeds, particularly from IPOs of technology companies. Experts expect up to ten IPOs of tech start-ups in the next two years. However, this depends on the preparation of the companies and external factors such as regulation.
