„Steinkellner China Search is now a long-standing cooperation partner of DEWETRON GmbH – with complete success and great satisfaction.
This cooperation took place from the very beginning with extensive preparation, a strong understanding of the requirements of our business – we were presented with candidates with an optimal requirement profile – as well as the excellent additional component of being able to think into the other person’s mind and, as a result, to act accordingly.
Even in this challenging time with COVID-19, the recruiting process in cooperation with Steinkellner China Search was very professional. Instead of face-to-face interviews, video calls for an initial interview were conducted very promptly and flexibly.“
„Although the requirements profile changed several times, Steinkellner China Search reacted quickly and presented us with very good plant manager candidates in line with the requirements profile. 9 months after recruitment, I can say that I am very satisfied with the choice and performance of the candidate.“
„The intensive consultation from start to finish was very important to me. Not everyone can do that. I was also surprised by the speed with which we found the right candidate.“
„We now finally have an unbeatable man on site with whom we can really make progress – even though we never got to meet him in person despite coronavirus.
The new plant manager was the best personnel decision of 2021!“
„They provided us with two perfect candidates for the final selection and our joint venture partner was able to choose one of them. Just as we had planned in advance.“
