Personality more important than skills

Opacc is - as in previous years - one of the most popular employers on the kununu.com platform. Work-life balance as well as ongoing support for training and development are the cornerstones for this. The latest survey by the platform shows that the application processes are also rated outstandingly.

The fact that the IT company Opacc has once again received a top rating on the employer rating platform kununu.com is likely due to a variety of reasons. For example, the well-known fair and transparent application processes, the appreciation of candidates and - last but not least - the newly opened company headquarters in Rothenburg, which offers excellent working conditions, are among them, according to Opacc.

Fair recruitment processes

Natalie Schürmann, responsible for personnel acquisition at Opacc Software AG, is pleased with the result and sees her ideas confirmed: "We were obviously also rated very well by rejected job applicants, which makes us particularly proud! Rejections are unavoidable. At Opacc, however, great importance is attached to the necessary respect for all people who apply, as well as to quick, written rejections so that candidates can reorient themselves again.

While numerous companies are increasingly automating and anonymizing their application processes, Opacc relies on personal interviews and multi-stage, clearly regulated processes. This is obviously appreciated by candidates and leads to comments on the kununu.com platform such as: "The application process is very thorough, very fair and very relaxed."

Personality more important than skills

For Opacc, it is crucial that new employees have a convincing personality and are able and willing to support the company culture. Natalie Schürmann: "In the first interview, I focus on personality and social aspects. Desired candidates, who are then invited to the second interview, receive in-depth insights into the specialist department and face the questions of the supervisor. As a rule, this is followed - almost as a third stage - by a practical day in the specialist department. This is how we ensure that we hire people who not only meet the profile, but who will also share our Opacc corporate culture."

Professional recruitment pays off

The central Swiss company builds on over 30 years of experience in the development and implementation of enterprise software. In recent years, numerous new positions have been created with top-qualified specialists. However, the increasingly costly recruitment of talent acts as an obstacle to further growth. This makes it all the more important for HR managers to inspire new employees for Opacc with a variety of efforts.

Top ranking as most popular employer

The kununu.com rating platform has determined which Swiss companies are the most popular employers. Opacc is in an excellent 3rd place in Switzerland and was rated by almost 200 employees and applicants. 96% of the participating users would recommend their employer to others.

Opacc currently has a wide variety of jobs available, from project management to support, systems engineering to development.
