Initial Situation

LV 1871 is an insurance company based in Munich. As part of further team building, two Senior Java Full Stack Engineers were sought in order to gain additional seniority and Java expertise for demanding projects.

Challenge

The search was for experienced Senior Developers with at least five years of professional Java experience and a focus on the backend. Knowledge of technologies such as Angular, Spring Boot, GitLab CI and Kubernetes was just as important as very good German skills, teamwork and experience in cross-functional teams.

The combination of seniority, the insurance environment and working on-site in Munich made the positions particularly demanding.

Approach

The collaboration came about through a direct exchange with the HR department. LinkedIn, Xing, our own network and recommendations were used for the search. Suitable candidates were approached in a targeted manner, interviewed and some were met in person.

Coordination with HR and the department was close, transparent and on an equal footing. The great scope for design, the high quality standards and the friendly team were important arguments in the recruiting process.
