Article on value-based recruitment in *Human Resources Manager*
Companies’ interest in value-based recruitment is growing – but why is that, exactly?

On the one hand, companies often lack the necessary overarching strategic framework; on the other, there is a shortage of suitable tools.

‘Human Resources Manager’ is the official magazine of the Federal Association of HR Managers. The guest article appeared in the February/March 2015 issue in the ‘Analysis’ section.
