Many companies today face new challenges in their search for suitable employees. The shortage of skilled workers is gaining more and more weight. If you want to find the right employees, you need a good process and a working strategy. Anyone who doesn't have this will mercilessly perish in the search for new employees. Job portals, recruiters and Newspaper ads often bring no longer the desired results.
The days when ideal candidates knock on the door every week and want to hand in their application documents are over. The reality is different.
Recruiting designed for many employers nowadays progressively complex and time-consuming. Young and qualified talents in particular are highly sought after and can barely be reached using conventional methods.
Construction and craft companies report on their recruitment problems every day and that it is almost impossible to hire suitable specialists in a timely manner. Time and again you hear things like:
But it is precisely these false beliefs that Lioneight wants to counteract. Your solution: The L8 method!
Through the years of experience and working with countless construction and craft companies, Lioneight knows exactly the challenges of recruiting employees. With the help of countless tests from over 200 recruiting campaigns throughout Germany, as well as the administration of six-figure advertising budgets, they know very well how to address applicants in a psychologically effective way.
With the L8 method, you too can within 30 days yours open positions reliable and Plannable staffing, without job portals or recruiters.
As a first step, you identify the ideal applicant for your company and positions your company as an attractive employer.
Together, you will work out a clear requirement profile for your ideal candidate and define which qualifications and knowledge he should bring with him.
It is important here that Lioneight has a whole exact picture of your desired employee so that, thanks to their method, only the candidates who are very likely to be perfectly suited to the advertised position will really apply to you. In addition, you develop clear unique selling points in your company profile so that they can position your company as an attractive employer.
The reason why you don't receive applications from qualified professionals? For many applicants, you are not visible.
In the second step, it is therefore important that you get visibility with your job ad.
Anyone looking for suitable employees these days should contact specialists exactly where they spend several hours a day anyway: In the social media! Digitalization has finally reached the job market. So why not the social networks as a recruitment channel use?
The third step is the Lioneight Applicant tool for use that is seriously different from all conventional methods. The aim is to motivate the right employees to apply with just a few clicks and at the same time to sort out all unsuitable candidates through appropriate pre-qualification. Candidates can easily use our tool and apply directly via smartphone, which of course increases the chance of applying many times over.
The most important point of their method, however, is that they do not, like the majority of all other companies, only address people who are currently also looking for a job, but they address exactly those who are already in a permanent employment relationship but are willing to change. And that's in Germany more than 66% of all workers! This means that over 2/3 of all employees are ready to change jobs if the change of company will positively change their lives in any way. But it is all the more important that they address exactly these people, because one thing is certain: Good people are rarely unemployed!
By working out your ideal candidate in detail, with the help of
Lioneight digital applicant portal pre-qualifies all unsuitable applicants and as required
sorted out. This means that you ultimately have exactly the hiring employees that fully meet your requirements and that will maintain your business in the long term.
In order to attract employees, a structured approach offers the best chance of success. According to LionEight, this includes:
Really good employer branding is the basis - be attractive and show it!
Good employer branding is a decisive success factor. Employer branding describes all corporate strategic measures in the area of brand building, which are used by a company in the labor market as an attractive employer present and stand out positively from other competitors.
Because it's not just the career page that serves as a figurehead. With the help of social networks, companies can also get in touch with potential employees and communicate on equal terms. Social networks are particularly suitable for the famous glimpse behind the scenes. With the help of pictures and videos, employers can give potential applicants insights into the corporate culture and thus give an interesting impression of everyday working life.
Because one thing is certain: Companies must get creative to attract the attention of qualified employees and ultimately convince them of their own company.
Especially with the so-called Generation Y (Generation, who were born in the period from the early 1980s to the late 1990s.), good employer branding and a presence on social media are enormously valuable. Anyone who still thinks the next generation attaches great importance to big names and top salaries is wrong. Instead, many young talents would like a good working atmosphere, flat hierarchies and appreciation from their employer.
At Plancraft, we think the approach is straight to the point and correct in today's world. If you want to know more, we have linked more from LionEight to you here!

Are you a headhunter or a job portal?
Neither yet! With our method, we offer you a real alternative to expensive and lengthy recruiting processes. In addition, we usually work via your social media channels. For example, it is not obvious to outsiders that you have commissioned us as an agency.
How do you even know which applicants are right for us?
Before we start running campaigns, we jointly define the ideal candidate who is a perfect match for your company and the advertised position. In our digital application process, applicants are then specifically filtered according to these criteria.
When can I expect to receive the first applications?
It takes us between 1-2 weeks to set up the applicant portal and set up the individual advertising campaign. We then put the ads live and usually generate at least 5-10 qualified applications in the first 30 days.
Can I have a say in the quality of the applicants?
At the beginning of the collaboration, we define a joint set of criteria, which determines the requirements and exclusion criteria for applicants. We then create a process that appeals to candidates both professionally and personally
The criteria catalog meets and sort out all those for which this is not the case.
How much time do I need to spend working together?
So that you can continue to focus fully on your core business, we will set up and implement our strategies and processes for your company. It is only their responsibility to answer applications. The time required for you is therefore very low.
