Beyond the Numbers: Engineering Recruiting Excellence Through Quality, Data, and Team Empowerment

July 11, 2025 14:20 – 14:50 · 30 min Stage 13

What this session covers

Do you still think that you need a high number of interviews for successful hiring? Spoiler: You don’t.

In recruiting, more does not equal better!

It’s quite the opposite: A massive amount of candidates in the funnel is not needed to fill a single role and actually can hinder successful recruiting. When you tie up capacity of the interviewing team (recruiters, interviewers & hiring managers), they can’t focus on the actual task: quickly identifying and hiring the right person.

In the session, Christian will highlight the three major elements that sustainably improve recruiting success:

  • A well-structured recruiting process
  • A focus on the right key figures - thought from end to start
  • A well-trained recruiting team

Quality instead of quantity, data-driven recruiting and a strong recruiting team are the basis for successful recruiting. It does not depend on the number of applications, but on a well thought-out approach.
