Case Study: Stifterverband achieves better recruiting reach with Talention

How the Stifterverband Uses Alumni Networks as a Recruiting Channel

Stifterverband, a joint initiative of companies and foundations in education and science, faced challenges in recruiting highly qualified candidates, particularly those with strong IT skills, due to an acute shortage of skilled workers. To address this, they needed to reach a targeted audience and utilize effective job markets beyond traditional methods. They partnered with the vendor Talention to help improve their recruiting process.

Using Talention's software, Stifterverband efficiently organized and managed up to 30 recruiting campaigns simultaneously, a significant improvement over their previous manual methods. A key part of their solution involved using Talention to generate flyers with QR codes, which were shared by employees within alumni networks to directly attract experts. The onboarding process was smooth and the vendor's support was highly responsive. As a result, Stifterverband successfully leveraged its alumni as a valuable new recruiting channel.
