Recruitment Professorship

Kontrast Personalberatung GmbH plays a crucial role in supporting colleges and universities throughout Germany. It offers specialised recruitment services aimed at providing job advertisements and appointment procedures with a strong field of candidates. Through a combination of targeted marketing strategies, digital active sourcing, and 1:1 direct approach, qualified applications are ensured to attract the best talent for academic positions.

Target group-specific job advertisements and broad reach: Kontrast Personalberatung works closely with universities to ensure that job advertisements are precisely formulated and distributed via traditional and digital channels. This increases the visibility of the adverts and reaches a wide range of potential applicants nationally and internationally.

Digital active sourcing and 1:1 direct approach: Kontrast uses advanced search technologies and data analytics to identify potential candidates with specific qualifications and experience. They also use a personal and confidential approach to interest passive candidates in new professional challenges, which is particularly important when filling high-level positions.

Focus on STEM subjects and compliance with FüPoG II: Given the need for qualified female academics in STEM subjects, Kontrast places a special focus on identifying and promoting female talent. They support universities in fulfilling the requirements of the law for the equal participation of women and men in management positions in order to prevent job advertisements from failing.

Pre-selection, assessment and counselling in appointment procedures: Kontrast ensures that only the most qualified candidates make it to the shortlisting process by carefully pre-selecting and evaluating applications and providing advice on the design and implementation of appointment procedures. This includes the creation of evaluation criteria, the moderation of selection interviews and the final selection.

Through these comprehensive services, Kontrast Personalberatung GmbH guarantees that colleges and universities are not only provided with a sufficient number of applications, but also with highly qualified and well-matched candidates for their open academic positions. This professional support enables appointment committees to be truly "spoilt for choice" in selecting the best professor for their institutions.
