Also a Chinese student with the zodiac sign of Cancer is quoted, who has recently received a job at a marriage agency a cancellation, because the agency prefers sets Aquarians and Scorpions – “Aquarius and Scorpios are more suited to the job”. ' / p>

In Germany would be something so unthinkable, thanks to the German AGG nachzukontrollieren but probably difficult. After all, every candidate is indeed his birth, and thus his astrological sign in the application process so that companies could pre-sort accordingly.

Has anyone of you heard of a similar case in Germany?

Times farther thought a little ->When will prevail something, there might be in China soon for a few months, in the relatively more children are conceived, as in others – later almost to the newborn, the best chances in the first several years starting ending to enter professional life. Sounds ridiculous, but it could soon become a bitter reality in China …

Although I find the spot now not so great – should be a clear job “mean passion, passion and joy”, but for most people it is more important today than ever to have a job that is above all safe! StepStone is indeed still on the Axel Springer group, which also publishes the IMAGE yes.

The new motifs flanking the print campaign are sometimes a bit funny, so was in the said Bild am Sonntag last Sunday, a full-page ad with the Sprüchle ->

“make friends, not even looking where other”

And the

Printed a picture of someone calling, working with all kinds of stuff at the cluttered desk. How has this type now found new friends? And how is that even mean? Or just surf the guy on Facebook, and thus finds new friends? If you are searching via StepStone a new job where you must continuously surf during working hours on Facebook? Sorry, but I figure it's not …

Matter – then surf over to better times Thorsten, who has blogged an excellent long article entitled “When marketing staff fails to reality”.

Whether so much audacity, however, really works well and is beside the point …

Tough times for recruiters … what do you think? Are the demands of young professionals in Germany has risen in recent times? Perhaps one or other of you is indeed can make a few experiences in this regard. I'm happy about every comment!

Sounds almost as if my suspicions that I had recently in my post “The boss” blogged here in the joblog assume so slow form. Veterans Today, tomorrow the world …

Speaking of e-Recruiting ->XING has recently submitted a couple of new business figures, and even the proceeds from the e-recruiting business have grown well, the result is 3.1 million € to 60% better than last year. But I believe that LinkedIn will bring the boys and girls from next year XING good sweat – XING is probably 2012 E-Recruiting Roadkill …

Also worth reading ->BranchOut launches a Recruiter Search Service, and begins to slowly inject on LinkedIn. With approximately 30,000 daily active users BranchOut is just too real ne number, the new services, such as Ex. achieve the much later BeKnown started from the house of monsters can only be very difficult, even after Facebook's messaging capabilities of apps. Exactly due to this, “Your friend wants to be with you on XY BranchOut connect” Wall spam is BranchOut become so big, so had the best time of just under 250,000 active users every day there – whoa! Although I believe that LinkedIn allows the relatively cold, true to the adage “what bothers a German oak, when a pig scratches on it,” but it will be interesting to pursue further development.

One of these ways is the Recrutainment, where entertainment, information and personal contacts can be combined into a single concept. The aim is to present professional company indeed, but to integrate this into a playful context. The procedure is to establish a personal contact between uninhibited and potential employees and decision makers of the company, which targets the employer branding and self-selection of candidates to be integrated.

So in Frankfurt

Was made as the project Recrutainment Banking 2.0 on the legs, which the industry to help especially in times of banking crisis, a better image and attract potential employees should simultaneously. Nearly 30 graduates and young professionals took part in the think-tank that had the Cirquent by the Agency can organize TARGETS YOUNG. The aim of the Think Tank was that junior staff to deal with the immediate future of the banking industry. Teamwork in future models should be developed, with expert advice to Cirquent always stood. Playfulness and “thread” was a specially designed Monopoly game.

A lecture with examples from practice of advising banks of Ralf Baust followed the keynote speech by Prof. Dr. Sonja Salmen on the mega trends of the network society, consumer behavior in 2020 and the culture of trust in the digital network. Following the presentations, the participants themselves were asked: With the just obtained input into various groups completed the 2.0-banking game. The large gardens of the venue, a villa in Frankfurt am Main, was used to develop via “empathy-Map” and “Canvas model,” a pioneering business model. Only the “captain” of each team had in the ten-minute rhythm in the lecture room to compete on the big screen by mega-dice to advance the respective team figure on the bank 2.0 Monopoly board. “Event Cards”, “Consultant Cards” or “community” cards were drawn and played, the gambling money is then invested again in presentation materials, tools or advice. The teams had three hours and surprised her with multiple approaches to the jury, consisting of Ralf Baust, Professor Salmen and futurist Dr. Eike Wenzel.

The finale on the terrace with grilled sausage and steak offered a new opportunity, personal contacts between students and company representatives to produce. For the organizing company, the action was so successful that already the second Think Tank “banking 2.0″ has taken place -. And the next is already in planning

That classic enough

Job fairs and open-door events not to find a suitable high-tech companies and highly qualified staff, have already identified several companies. When marketing personnel to put on special events and the viral effects of Web 2.0, has been applied in recent years, especially in southern Germany: 1 & 1 Internet AG sent a candidate “IT geocaching” to solve technical problems in botany. When Java BBQ optimized process could be grilled to race in Munich, Frankfurt and Ettlingen. But cooperation events such as job tour in Darmstadt or catch-the-job are successful formats that are supported by a number of firms in order to keep skilled workers on the site. Most recently over 20 companies compete on the platform at the Nerd-Zone.com IT offspring of technological region of Karlsruhe. Recrutainment is definitely on the rise – exciting

On Spiegel Online's also interesting things to read ->German students nationwide about the housing shortage. Sure, thanks to double Abi-born, and the abolished compulsory military service is the volume of new students so then this year a little more … In my beautiful home in Munich, which is also this year, so again the most expensive city for Studis be dormitory rooms now awarded by lottery , and even thought about Matrazenlager for students to set up … because we are really glad to be no longer a student!

Also worth reading ->The nasty profile in the online edition of taz. Was found in Germany where just that little googling their recruiter candidate's looks in the U.S., but something different ->

The result has been used to look just googled, meanwhile nine out of ten U.S. employers, the profiles of candidates. Although this has not in any case, affect the decision for or against a candidate. But at least seven out of ten of the surveyed companies stated that at the ugly details in social networks but rather to prefer other candidates.

Old topic, new study – again fine grist for the mills of the professionally paranoid anti-Social-Networks-motion. But I think after the now hundreds of articles on the subject, but now everyone should have figured that one should be careful what you postet on Facebook as a status update or on which images you should tag yet un-better.

And yet a quick salute to the boys of the blogging all trades that last Friday I was finally able to meet in person someday! I've kept with Sepita, my successor at the time in online marketing at JobScout24, a little talk about SEO to Social Media Recruiting Conference in Hamburg – was a nice event and a nice evening! Thank you Alex, Toby and Jan for the invitation and your hospitality!

Oh, and here's a nice infographic, are attracted to what amenities the new employees of large companies in Silicon Valley – might be interesting for one or the other German company boss.

The majority of users is either direct job search – Who would have thought … Very interesting, I found that hardly any people informed on online job boards on the employer, this information will be consumed only by just over 5%, and complex corporate videos are created with 0.7% even below the 1% threshold … The additional content seems to be more or less irrelevant, so that users prefer to surf on the respective company websites to learn about the company to Warn.

Really quite interesting, even if the result of a lack of opportunity to give thanks to multiple responses, probably something extremely fails. All's right with facts & figures Crosswater

And finally a big hello to the new job search engine JobSterne.de that focus exclusively on jobs in the hospitality industry. The portal is operated by the AHGZ, the general hotel and catering industry newspaper – nice niche, nice new site – congratulations
