The 5 Best Books for Applicants: Personalers Secret KO Criteria & Application2go {Reading Tip}

There is a lot of talk about employer branding and the candidate experience, but it is alarmingly often about the Candidates over. 3 books show how to do it better and on what HR really pay attention.

More than just quotes

“Oh no” is what you think when you hold it in your hands for the first time: “A collection of quotes.” It's usually not very inspiring.

In addition, the introduction seems to be a bit too long before it finally starts. And so should the topideas look, the top people in Companys attracts?

Really innovative ideas

But then you read ideas like these:

“When the weather is good, I want to work outside. Offer flexible workplaces that can be changed several times a day! Sometimes working standing, sometimes sitting, sometimes on the floor when it has to be particularly creative! ”

“Special offices for young people Mothers – with children’s play corners – where young mothers can work by the hour and the children can be close to their mothers.”

Creative crowdsourcing

And think: Probably this book with the 365 Ideas quotes from very different people is more creative and innovative than if an author had pulled out his shoe and / or given a frame to it.

Discounts for your success (advertising)!

Some ideas are simply ingenious and extraordinarily innovative. Others simply banal, profile neurotic (“Candidate should be picked up by the chauffeur”) or even petty “About: Company career sites should have a .job domain. Who cares?

Employer Branding: More than lips

However, will fast one clear: The people behind them are as diverse as the ideas.

And if companies want to address top people in the future, they would do well to deal with the individuality of their Employees too busy. They can do without lip service. Or to paraphrase the cabaret artist Erwin Pelzig:

"An image is what you need, that the others think that you are what you would like to be."

12 heads, 12 opinions

Because as the maker of the book, Axel Haitzer, so aptly writes: At the selectionWhich of the more than 1200 submitted ideas would ultimately make it into the book, there was none that the twelve-person selection committee was unanimous about Opinions was.

And it's just as individual with companies, employees and the selection of applicants. Scheme F simply does not work there.

How does Open Innovation work?

That's exactly why you shouldn't discard any of the ideas, no matter how impracticable they may seem at first glance, but think twice: Maybe it's exactly this one Innovation the strength that sets your company apart from other companies?

The extraordinary strength of this book lies in its creation - by Open Innovation, also called crowdsourcing. The ideas were collected in an idea lounge on brainfloor.com, the best 365 was selected and collected in this book. 842 more are available for download - the password will be revealed in the book!

The secret KO -.- criteria of the personnel?

"There is no second chance for a first impression," it says. This also applies to job interviews that make many people tremble - even though there are countless advisors on the market.

A new book by two business journalists now promises to reveal the secret KO -.- criteria of the personnel. And you can win three copies of the book and discuss with the authors here!

All tabs drawn, but only cancellations?

In fact, many applicants are perfectly prepared for their job interview, know the most common questions and know how to answer theirs Power present optimally. Yet hardly anyone goes without one Anxiety into an interview.

You can be as professionally prepared as you are - the direct encounter with the HR specialist and his approach are difficult to assess for applicants. And even if that Application all Regulate of Art and one in Conversation has pulled out all the stops, that is by no means a guarantee for a commitment. Why?

Secret Tricks or Cold Coffee?

In “The Job Interview Cracker Book. Stay cool - Expertise show – know KO criteria. What HR managers would never reveal” Anne Jacoby and Florian Vollmers want to uncover the secret laws of a job interview, decode the codes of the most important questions and show how HR managers really tick.

It will be interesting to see whether the book really contains so much that is new: Anne Jacoby, born in 1969, is a freelance business journalist, author and ghostwriter. Co-author Florian Vollmers is also a freelance business journalist in Bremen. Both have been writing about applications for years, career entry, management etc.

What HR analysts say in an interview

However, you do not have your own practical experience as a HR manager - one would still wish for that as a background for an insider book. After all, Jacoby and Vollmers questioned HR and interview situations in the most diverse Industries analyzed.

And from this we drew a conclusion: Whether applicants score points in the interview often depends on secret KO criteria. With the right one Preparation can, the book promises, this code can be deciphered and treacherous conversations cracked.

The Business Knigge for jacket and handbag

Clever that Carolin Lüdemann wrote her book “Der kleine Business-Knigge” in pocket format. The little guide fits in the inside pocket of the jacket and of course in the handbag too.

Take the booklet with you on the way to a job interview, a business lunch and maybe even the first date. In the bus or the subway simply read the most important rules for a serious, friendly appearance and then by sovereignty points. That's the promise of the mini-guide.

Decency is a career factor

Lüdemann summarizes the typical blunders that lead to businessEveryday life pave. Job interviews, dress code in the Office and correct greetings are on the program, for example.

It's not boring and certainly not antiquated. Because the “duz mentality” in German offices does not automatically override basic rules of decency.
