  29. RECRUITMENT Questions & Answers

  30. Q & A There are so many people on the market; if we fail with a hire we can hire another one easily, can`t we?

  31. Q & A • average cost for failed recruitment= 40.000- 60.000 € • Real talents are rare to find • An open sales positions costs you sales turnover- every day counts

  32. Q & A I know a lot of people in the industry; hiring good friends means knowing what we can expect, doesn`t it ?

  33. Q & A • This can be a great source • But: also a friend needs to meet our needs • Check “friends” just as external candidates on competencies and skills • Be as neutral as for an external candidate

  34. Q & A I urgently need to fill a position, should I hire the next best and seemingly suitable, even if I have slight doubts?

  35. Q & A • Doubt means “check again on some points if possible” or refuse the candidate • The next best available who COULD fit is not the best solution • Better dig for new profiles/ test other applicants • This helps to avoid to re- start the process 6 months later…. • No recruitment is better than bad recruitment….

  36. Q & A What about recruitment “feelings”?

  37. Q & A • double check your intuition • avoid unstructured interviews • avoid being too subjective

  38. RECRUITMENT IS A 2 WAY PROCESS…. • candidates also evaluate Actelion • choose the right place for interviews • take enough time • introduce yourself at the beginning • communicate Actelion`s key data • do not oversell a position • communicate clearly on next steps

  39. Conclusion • Proper Recuitment is key for success in daily business • You need to know what you are looking for if you want to find what you want to find!
