Job advertisements remain a key element of successful recruitment. Artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to make job advertisements more target group-oriented and effective.
Many young people in the transition period between school and work are suitable for training. Targeted support could attract them to careers in mechanical engineering.
Professional and personalised application management still has plenty of room for improvement in many cases. Low-threshold application processes (such as via WhatsApp) are an interesting new development.
A well-retained, motivated and productive workforce also strengthens the company's image. It helps to avoid high fluctuation costs and secures expertise.
Job adverts are the first point of contact with potential applicants. What you should pay particular attention to with service technicians.
What solutions do SMEs find to deal with the high salary expectations of young professionals? Practical report from a VDMA Erfa.
How do employers become successful brands? Why is a strong employer brand important for attracting - and retaining - skilled workers?
The shortage of skilled workers is becoming increasingly urgent. In-company further training and qualification of the company's own workforce can be decisive building blocks in keeping a company competitive.
Demographic change, a shortage of skilled workers, unfilled training positions - these are often prevalent issues in Germany when it comes to recruiting employees. But what is it like in other countries? We asked around locally.

Salaries continue to play a central role in personnel development - the new VDMA Salary Study 2023/2024 presents salaries in 160 positions tailored to the mechanical engineering sector.
The shortage of skilled workers, increasing innovative strength and passing on know-how and tradition are just some of the reasons why new approaches to recruiting young trainees are necessary.
On the occasion of a qualitative study on female engineers in mechanical and plant engineering conducted by RWTH Aachen University on behalf of the IMPULS Foundation in 2023, the participants exchanged views in an interactive workshop on June 3, 2024.
Qualified, ready to work and willing to travel - these are the qualities that desired personnel for service and sales need to have. On the other hand, there are absences lasting several days, low predictability and short-term assignments.
STEM professions are still predominantly male-dominated. In this virtual workshop, companies discussed specific measures to attract more women to engineering positions.
The VDMA salary survey provides a detailed overview of the status quo regarding the salaries of a good 160 typical positions in our industry.
Due to the authentic approach, many companies rely on their own trainees to reach pupils when recruiting young talent. The VDMA offers the right virtual training for your technical trainees.
Parents continue to have an influence on the career orientation of their own children. In order to recruit young people for the mechanical engineering sector, parents must therefore be involved at an early stage.
To meet the demand for highly qualified specialists at an early stage, some companies in the mechanical and plant engineering sector are cooperating with universities - the possibilities are diverse.
The shortage of skilled workers is back and leads to production bottlenecks in the mechanical and plant engineering industry. Many companies are asking themselves how to attract qualified employees and retain them in the long term.
