The Recruitment Process
EuroDev's 3-Staged Approach

1. Kick-off & Screening
A kick-off call with DriSteem was held to discuss their ideal candidate profile. For the client, the ideal candidate needed a strong technical background, fluency in English and German, and relevant industry experience.A hybrid approach of passive and active recruitment was used to establish a talent pool of about 120 candidates, who were then screened and then interviewed .
-
2. Interviews
The second round of interviews involved the direct supervisor and multiple hiring team members, each focusing on different aspects of the job to ensure a thorough evaluation.
For DriSteem, the third round required candidates to present a 30-60-90-day plan to the client's president, allowing for in-depth discussion of strategy and role expectations.

3. Closing
Finalizing calls were held with the client to discuss the next steps, including background and reference checks for the top candidates.
