Your mission
d&b is in the middle of a far-reaching transformation. Its success depends on two things: attracting the right people and taking our employees with us on the way.
We are looking for a Head of Talent Acquisition, Engagement & Internal Communications who brings these topics together: how we present ourselves to candidates, how we hire, how we communicate internally and how we strengthen the engagement of our employees.
You lead a team of two recruiters who run day-to-day recruiting. You make sure that our recruiting processes run reliably and measurably, without running searches yourself. Your own focus is on employer branding, employee engagement and internal communications.
This is a role for someone who combines conceptual strength and creativity with high standards of execution, and who wants to build something with lasting impact.
What you will do
Lead talent acquisition
Lead, coach and develop a team of two recruiters who run operational recruiting, with clear roles, goals and quality standards.
Ensure that our talent acquisition processes run reliably, from agreeing requirements with hiring managers through sourcing, selection, offer and onboarding.
Set clear service levels and a consistent tracking logic, build and own a recruiting KPI dashboard that makes speed, quality and cost of our recruiting transparent.
Ensure a professional candidate experience and structured selection procedures, and enable hiring managers to conduct effective interviews and make well-founded decisions.
Manage recruiting partners, tools and budgets, with the aim of filling more positions through our own team and relying less on external search firms.
Use digitalisation and automation to make our processes faster, more transparent and less manual.
Shape our employer brand
Further develop our employer branding concept, including our employer value proposition and our positioning for key target groups.
Translate it into consistent touchpoints: career website, job advertisements, candidate communication, social media, university partnerships and selected events.
Work closely with Marketing so that our employer brand and our corporate brand speak with one voice.
Strengthen employee engagement
Own our Employee Engagement Survey, conducted once or twice a year: objectives, questions and methodology, planning, delivery, analysis and communication of the results to different audiences.
Enable leaders to discuss results with their teams, understand root causes and agree concrete actions, and establish binding tracking of the follow-up together with our HR Business Partners.
Identify company-wide improvement topics and coordinate their implementation with the responsible functions.
Conceive, plan and run our engagement formats, such as our Christmas celebration, company run and apprentice outing, so that they bring our culture to life and connect people across the organisation.
Build our internal communications
Develop and own our internal communication approach and roadmap, with clear priorities, consistent messages and a regular rhythm across our global organisation.
Shape and improve leadership communication formats such as townhalls, CEO updates and leadership messages, and support the CEO and senior leaders in communicating strategy, business performance and organisational decisions with clarity.
Make change understandable: develop a communication roadmap for major transformation initiatives, explaining why change is necessary, what it means for employees and how they can contribute.
Personally create high-quality content, including messages, articles, presentations and announcements, and prepare and moderate internal events in German and English.
Review and further develop our channels and formats and establish measures of their reach and effectiveness.
What you bring
Above all, this role requires strong communication skills, sound business judgement, analytical excellence, proven leadership and fluent German and…
