Example projects

"Former HR manager Bastian gives you a glimpse behind the scenes of the application process. His tips on applications, interviews and job searches are practical, unvarnished and so to the point that you'll want to start applying right away."

"With the Berufsoptimierer team, we have gained an experienced and competent cooperation partner who gives our target group (...) exciting insights into the application process and starting a career. The know-how is brought to the point and is helpful for everyone who is applying (for the first time)."

"The articles from Berufsoptimierer on our desired topics were very aptly adapted to our readers. The tips on salary negotiations and appreciative communication are clearly understandable, very helpful and easy to implement! I'd be happy to do it again."

"We used the podcast interview [applying at PwC] to talk about our different priorities in filling positions, but also about our corporate culture at PwC Germany. I found it very exciting to speak to the candidates directly and thus build up an initial level of trust."

"Bastian Hughes has created an online course series for our students that covers the topics of career orientation, applications, interviews and networking. The special feature is that the entire course, including the handout, had to be in simple German, as the course participants are not native German speakers. Mr. Hughes has succeeded in conveying these complex topics in a simple and refreshing way, so that the course participants can easily learn how to successfully master the first step into the working world in Germany."

"I noticed that the post [about the joint podcast episode] was shared very often in various networks by our employees and sometimes also by our board. I've also had applicants who have asked me about it. The interview was great!"

"Podcasts are a great tool for successful employer branding! We were able to talk about Pronova BKK's values, such as sustainability and diversity, which are also very important to us in recruiting. A very modern way to draw attention to ourselves."

"It is becoming increasingly clear that you have to find new ways to get applicants excited about your company. Your podcast is a great way to reach many people you wouldn't otherwise be able to reach and at the same time present your company in a great and modern way."

"In the currently highly competitive applicant market, it is important to integrate new channels and methods to draw attention to yourself. As a medium-sized management consultancy, we needed something that would allow an individual and at the same time approachable way of communicating with applicants in order to stand out from the mass of employers in Germany. We were happy to present mm1 in the Berufsoptimierer podcast and talk about what applicants can expect from us and what it is like to work for us in order to establish an initial basis of trust with potential applicants. This allows us to show what makes us special as an employer."
