Successful recruitment of truck drivers: 16 hand-picked applicants and 3 hires in just 3 months

Initial situation

‍

Duisburger Hafen AG, a leading provider of logistics solutions and operator of the world's largest inland port, was facing an urgent challenge: an acute shortage of qualified truck drivers. 

‍

At a time when demand for qualified drivers is high and supply is scarce, the Port of Duisburg was faced with the difficult task of finding new employees to maintain its transportation services while meeting the high safety and efficiency standards it had set for itself. The labor market offers only a limited supply of skilled workers, making recruitment a true balancing act between speed and quality.

‍

Solution: Efficient recruitment with WorkerHero

‍

In close cooperation with WorkerHero, a targeted recruitment strategy was developed to attract qualified truck drivers. Various measures were taken to approach potential candidates and make the selection process as efficient as possible.

‍

Key measures

• Application of the job advertisement on WorkerHero:
  The job advertisements were specifically placed on WorkerHero in order to ensure a broad and focused approach to potential applicants who are interested in a career at Duisburger Hafen AG.

‍

• Active integration of the candidate pool & community:
  WorkerHero actively used its extensive candidate pool, which comprises over 60,000 members, as well as exclusive communities with more than 650,000 members. This targeted strategy enabled the job offer to be deliberately placed outside the usual job portals or social networks.

‍

• Use of online platforms:

By placing the job advertisements on various online platforms, visibility was increased and potential applicants who were actively looking for new career opportunities were reached.

‍
