Trainee preselection for REWE
Our client’s concern
Each year REWE receives around 500 applications for the advertised trainee positions. To ensure high quality diagnostics and a resource-friendly selection process, KI.M has been supporting REWE in the preselection of applicants since 2010. Goals of this collaboration are an enhanced quality of candidates in the Assessment Centers, an early commitment of the high potentials and reduced personnel requirements as well as time saving for the internal recruiters.
The project
A streamlined process was developed to be able to promptly work through the received applications, select and report the results to REWE so that REWE recruiters can use them to continue their work. After a thorough screening of the applications and the alignment with the individually defined demands for each position a first selection was made. Identified potential candidates are invited to make an appointment for a telephone interview through a modern booking tool. Experienced and trained interviewers conduct the competence-oriented telephone interviews. On these grounds they make a sound assessment of the candidate which is documented in form of a final report. Regular contact with the recruiters is essential in order to react flexibly and swifty to speial circumstances and developments but further enhance the quality of selection. If needed, KI.M also coordinates the Assessment Center for the candidates.
