Henkel replaces recruitment software

Consumer and industrial products giant Henkel has begun rolling out an online recruitment system across its global estate in 125 countries.

The company, which owns more than 750 brands, including Persil and Loctite, is implementing the ActiveRecruiter system from Jobpartners to streamline its entire recruitment process.

Markus Dinslacken, corporate recruitment manager at Henkel, said the system will bring a number of benefits.

“With more than 50,000 employees in over 125 countries recruitment is a constant challenge,” he said.

“We anticipate that the system will help us to further strengthen our employer brand and help us to be viewed as an employer of choice internationally. We also hope to shorten our time to hire and therefore reduce costs.”

The system, which replaces the e-recruiting tool from software giant SAP, will initially be rolled out across 17 European countries, followed by Asia Pacific countries and then North and South America.
