Fresenius career website wins 2012 Potentialpark ranking
Fresenius has Germany's best career website, according to a new study published by the market research institute Potentialpark. The Fresenius career portal was ranked first place, followed by ThyssenKrupp and Deutsche Post DHL. For the first time, Potentialpark also ranked companies' overall online HR marketing activities, including aspects such as application tracking systems and mobile communication. In this ranking, Fresenius also achieved pole position.
Potentialpark has evaluated the career websites of German companies annually since 2002. This year, the institute surveyed around 30,000 students worldwide about their personal preferences regarding career sites. It also assessed the online activities of around 130 German companies based on over 100 different criteria. Last year, Fresenius was ranked fifth in the Potentialpark study.
"We've done a lot of work over the past two years to improve our career portal," explains Markus Olbert, Senior Vice President for Corporate Human Resources at Fresenius. "So we're pleased to receive this fantastic reward in recognition of our efforts. The Internet is an excellent way for us to present Fresenius as an attractive employer. Attracting the right talents to contribute to Fresenius' future growth is a central task for HR departments throughout the Group."
