Chemetall honored as one of Germany's “Top Career Opportunities” companies

“After being honored as one of the country’s best apprenticeship companies at the beginning of 2016, this survey further highlights the success of our recruitment strategy and continued staff development policy,” says Peter Fendel, Vice President Human Resources. “We are very happy to be acknowledged as one of the most attractive employers in Germany’s chemical industry.”

Chemetall has recently expanded its communications activities to better support its recruiting practices. Besides an official company profile on LinkedIn, the company has enhanced its social media activities on the German-speaking business platform XING and the employment review platform kununu.

In Germany, Chemetall offers the advantages of a midsized company with low hierarchy structures while also providing opportunities to work cross-functionally in an international environment. “Our staff can expect competitive compensation, personal development programs, challenging tasks and the chance of a rewarding career”, says Peter Fendel. Chemetall offers an extensive benefits package for employees, such as health initiatives, sports activities, flexible working hours, fair and competitive rewards and retirement pension packages. Peter Fendel adds: “We also enjoy one of the lowest turnover rates in the industry.”

The survey was conducted among 2,000 German companies from 57 different industries by the polling agency DEUTSCHLAND TEST. The outcome of the survey was published in the weekly news magazine FOCUS, issue 45/2016. Chemetall scored best result of all examined German chemical companies.
