Advantages of Remote Work: More Than Just a Trend
Recruiting remote staff presents specific challenges that are often overlooked. One of the biggest hurdles is assessing professional competence without personal contact, which leads to hiring mistakes in 7 out of 10 companies. Another challenge is ensuring cultural fit, which 60% of HR managers consider crucial for long-term success. The third hurdle is the substantial administrative burden, which can extend the hiring process by up to 4 weeks. We address these challenges with a structured approach. Our headhunting for German-speaking Java developers specifically focuses on these aspects. We employ a proven, three-step process to help you overcome these obstacles.
The 3 Biggest Challenges in Remote Recruitment and How to Overcome Them
Our clearly defined recruitment process ensures maximum efficiency and transparency. We have optimised it over the years to deliver the ideal candidate to you in record time. Here’s how we find your next Java Software Developer in just 3 steps:
Kick-off Call (Day 1): In a 30-minute conversation, we precisely analyse your technical requirements and cultural needs.
Targeted Search (Day 2-4): We activate our exclusive network of over 5,000 pre-qualified Java specialists and initiate a targeted search.
Presentation of Profiles (Day 5): You receive 2-3 handpicked and vetted profiles of candidates who fit your company not only professionally but also personally.
This process reduces your hiring time by up to 90%. It ensures that you only speak with candidates who already bring high interest and qualification. This lays the foundation for a successful and long-term collaboration.
Our 3-step process: Your path to the right developer in 5 days
Generalist recruitment agencies often manage hundreds of applications from various industries simultaneously. This often results in a success rate of less than 10%. In contrast, we focus 100% on Java developers. This niche focus enables us to achieve a success rate of over 90% in placement. We understand the specific framework requirements and the subtle differences between a good and an excellent developer. The average salary for Java developers in Germany is €62,300, and a poor hire will cost you at least 30% of this amount. With us, you minimise this risk.
