Practice Phase on the Professionalization of Personnel Selection and Onboarding

The University of Freiburg aims to find and develop motivated employees and retain them in the long term. To this end, we focus on a structured selection of employees in order to attract the most diverse talent and potential possible. For the future, the search, selection, and recruitment as well as the onboarding of new employees will be regarded as central factors for the University of Freiburg’s success. These measures will provide crucial support for the further development of an innovative and sustainable organization. The selection of employees will therefore require a high degree of professionality and sensitivity.

In addition, the organization of staff recruitment has a considerable influence on the University of Freiburg’s image and reputation. This is true not only of the selection but especially of the onboarding of new employees. The implementation of such processes and their impact on the applicants, the so-called candidate journey, shapes the applicants’ first impression of the University:

The appreciation, fairness, and openness shown to applicants have an impact on both their interest in the position and their future personal commitment.

The practice phase is the continuation of a completed pilot project on the professionalization of staff recruitment and integration. As the new processes include many changes, we have decided to carry out a practice phase before implementing the concept in order to test it out with selected University institutions.
