WAD World Congress Recap

Our Berlin devs and our Cologne talent management team were together at the WeAreDevelopers Congress in Berlin last week. While our developers explored the latest trends in the tech industry, the #TechRecruitingSummit took place at the same time. Laura Dückers and Pauline Pagliaro present us and you their personal highlights from a variety of exciting insights:

Impulses for skill-based hiring: at the beginning of the hiring process, focus attributes are defined, which are the focus of one interview per candidate and are examined in detail.

Movement at work: In the digital age with video meetings and working from home, movement at work is becoming increasingly rare. This makes it all the more important to actively remember to get up and move around in between. It's perfect that with UrbanSportsClub we have a partner who supports our employees' exercise.

Self-Identification of Strengths: Employees can create a skills matrix themselves to identify their strengths and proactively share them with colleagues and managers. This ensures that they are working on the right tasks and projects.

- Last but not least: Laura's own presentation on the topics of tech recruiting, corporate culture and onboarding, followed by a discussion and Q&A session.

Oh, and the secret highlight: the frozen yoghurt in the hot temperatures. Thanks for the great organization to WeAreDevelopers and hopefully see you next year!

A denkwerk tradition in a new guise: the Monday Meeting Extended. 🚀

Our classic Monday meeting features updates from the projects, insights from the management and a brief introduction of the new denkwerkers - who have been working completely remotely for the past three years. With the inauguration of the new Workshop Space in the Cologne office, we are launching a new format: Once a quarter, the Monday Meeting team presents news on topics that are relevant to all employees. Live in and from Cologne to all other locations and in an extra-long 75 minutes. See for yourself what the premiere looked like! 

P.S.: A special thank you went out to our office team led by Meike Büchner, Sandra Griffel and Susanne Junglas for redesigning and converting the large studio into a collaborative community space - looks great, doesn't it? 💐

May we introduce: our new community and workshop space at denkwerk Cologne! 🎉

For a long time, we wanted to create (a) space that promotes collaboration and communication among our employees - in daily business as well as during training sessions, lunch breaks or joint team events before and after work. And it is also open to our clients and partners as a co-working space with our teams and for workshops or events. A space made for our motto: #createpositivechange 🚀
