Recruiting system for Lufthansa

Germany’s largest airline receives around 120,000 applications every year. When vacancies are advertised, for example for flight attendants, the number of applicants can reach four figures within a few days.

The recruitment system has to be very flexible because the Deutsche Lufthansa AG Group, with its more than 400 companies, includes a wide variety of job profiles—and the application workflow for an aircraft mechanic is different from that for employees in a catering company. Flexibility also means adaptability: a recruiting solution not only needs to interact with numerous company systems, but must also reflect the company’s central selection criteria.

Lufthansa spent a whole year thoroughly investigating the market for recruitment systems, and ultimately chose the beesite Recruiting Edition from milch & zucker. The main reasons:

• compliance with the functional requirements
• the impressive usability of the application
• the high cost-effectiveness of the product
• and the necessary flexibility in terms of customization and alignment

• migrating the existing data
• connecting to the existing system landscape, taking all security standards into account
• setting up interfaces with the SAP HR master data system, SAP organization management, online tests and the external candidate frontend, among others
• rollout in several countries

milch & zucker was also tasked with providing optimized user-specific start pages, known as cockpits, for all process participants in the back office of the recruiting system (specialized departments, managers, co-determination committees, shared service centers, etc.), according to their roles.
