Car maker Volkswagen is Germany’s most attractive employer, according to a survey of 13,000 German workers undertaken by the nation’s Focus news magazine and professional social network Xing.
Volkswagen board member for HR Dr Horst Neumann says: “At Volkswagen, skilled workers and engineers, managers and Works Council members form a strong team. Our cars generate enthusiasm among our customers.
“We offer our employees first-class training and a variety of development possibilities. Each individual employee can be sure that good performance and business success will pay at Volkswagen.”
In December 2012, the firm signed a charter agreeing to pay temporary staff the same rates as permanent employees, and agreeing that “the moderate use of temporary work is a necessary flexibility tool. A share of 5% temporary employees is a guideline”.
The firm recruits around 10,000 recent graduates and offers over 3,500 apprenticeships annually.
While Xing has a strong position in the German recruitment market, paper applications remain an important recruitment means, as reported on recruiter.co.uk last year.
