The global and independent platform for the SAP community.

Outdated and antisocial

The IT industry is desperately seeking skilled workers, but fails to take advantage of even simple opportunities to address and convince applicants in a professional manner.

In a recent study, Index Research's HR market research tested the career sections of the websites of more than 100 IT companies in Germany with regard to applicant communication.

The result: potential new employees often scour the companies' career sections in vain for up-to-date information and contact opportunities.

The deficiencies were particularly serious in terms of timeliness, with an average score of 40 percent, and contact options, with an average score of 43 percent.

In contrast, more than two-thirds of the possible points were awarded for information about the company. The German IT sector also scores relatively well on the criteria of use of social media, 64 percent, and user-friendliness, 59 percent.

The study is based on an analysis of the career websites of the leading IT companies in Germany as well as the IT companies that have published the most job offers in newspapers and online job exchanges.

The test winners are Datev, Bechtle and MSG Systems. SAP just makes it into the top field in tenth place.
