Hubert Ortner discussed the decision-making criteria that play an important role in the search for personnel, as well as strategies for recognizing the potential of applicants and the right questions to ask during interviews. After all, the prudent selection of personnel to only takes the professional skills off the employees into account, but also their character and soft skills.

Success through optimum employee management

The success of a company depends on the ability of the manager to lead his or her employees.
