LOGjobs: Winning the competition for talent in logistics through digital recruitment

The shortage of skilled labour in logistics is increasing again. This was the case before the financial crisis and is now continuing with the upturn in the economy. LOGjobs.de and BAHNberufe.de show why internet portals specialising in specific sectors are the solution!

Logistics makes it possible, is the slogan in the industry. But what happens when the performance of companies in Germany's third-largest industry drops rapidly due to a lack of skilled workers and managers? This then has a negative impact on the company's results because, for example, customers cannot be served or can only be served after a delay.

The inclusion of the Internet is also one of the media in the logistics sector that brings a multitude of advantages for companies in their search for personnel. For example, the costs of the application process can be greatly reduced because the process is usually paperless.

There are now very large job exchanges that place jobseekers across all industries and sectors. Nevertheless, the active use of the Internet for recruiting employees in the transport and logistics sector still has a lot of room for improvement. And those who already use the internet for digital recruitment are asking themselves how they can speed up their own application process. The LOGjobs.de and BAHNberufe.de portals provide the answer with their specialisation.

"For employees or companies, the size of a job portal and therefore the number of offers and applications is not decisive, but rather that both areas can be brought together in a target group-orientated manner," says Marc Possekel. Mr Possekel has ten years' experience of doing business on the Internet, as he is Managing Director of Logvocatus GmbH, which operates several online portals on various topics.

Anyone looking for logistics specialists and managers, especially young talent, can quickly find what they are looking for on LOGjobs.de and its sister portal BAHNberufe.de. From forklift drivers and train drivers to branch managers, both sister portals cover a broad spectrum for recruitment. In addition to advertising job vacancies, the central component of both sister portals is active, purely performance-based and optional recruitment. Vacancies can be filled quickly, professionally and easily.

"Our service is becoming increasingly popular because our customers recognise the great benefits that our specialisation brings them," says Possekel. LOGjobs.de was launched in 2007 and the company took over the BAHNberufe.de portal in 2008.
