DIS AG

Situation & challenges

DIS AG is an employment and recruitment agency with over 50 years of experience in Germany. Part of the international Adecco Group, it combines long-standing local expertise with the opportunities and capabilities of an international company – which has real benefits for customers. DIS AG is a market leader in the placement and hiring of professionals and executives, and specialises in the fields of finance, industry, office & management, banking and IT in particular. The company employs some 4,500 people in around 100 branches throughout Germany and Austria.

Miriam Djambou, a recruiter with DIS AG in Bremen, works in the Industry division. Sourcing skilled electricians, master tradespeople, technicians and engineers is one of the greatest challenges she faces. “We are currently operating in a job seeker’s market. That means that we need to think much more broadly and creatively about filling positions. The ultimate goal is to find the perfect match for each position – whether by means of traditional job advertisements or through active sourcing. During its search for the right solution to help it fill a diverse range of roles, DIS AG discovered onlyfy.

The solution – onlyfy

DIS AG opted for the onlyfy 360° product bundle, which includes both recruitment and employer branding solutions. “The unlimited job advertisements included in the bundle are a huge benefit. “We generate very good applications from Job Ads, which helps us to fill an enormous range of roles,” explains the recruiter.

However, job advertisements alone are not enough: active sourcing is where the real success is. The package includes onlyfy TalentManager, a tool that identifies suitable candidates with the required qualifications based on specific search filters, and then helps the user to contact them. “The response rate is very good. Candidates on XING who are interested in receiving offers respond to those offers,” reveals Djambou. In many respects, contacting candidates directly is the key to success.

Another component of onlyfy 360° is Employer Branding Profile by kununu & XING. kununu has been a real game changer for DIS AG, with the company now ranking among the top three recruitment agencies based on reviews. That opens doors.

Conclusion & outlook

“Our goal is to present candidates with even more opportunities for further training and career development. We also want to match talents with companies that support their values and goals. To achieve this, the application process should be as simple as possible for all professions,” says Djambou.
