Work at denkwerk GmbH
denkwerk is a consulting and agency hybrid with three simple principles: We are passionate about solving problems and rethinking the status quo. We put people first to create relevant products and experiences. We work in agile, autonomous teams to move our clients forward faster.
At our four denkwerk locations Cologne/Berlin/Munich/Hamburg, we employ 250 experts from 28 nations.
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!
Would you like to become part of denkwerk? Or as we call it: a denkwerki? That makes us really happy! Before you apply, Marie and Charlotta will give you a few tips on how to have a pretty good chance! We say: See you soon at denkwerk! ☺️
Das gesamte denkwerk wünscht euch einen guten Rutsch und ein fantastisches neues Jahr. Und ebenso viel Kaffee & Pfoten in eurem Arbeitsalltag in 2024. 💫

"Our front end is at the forefront and so are we. We make the digital world visible, tangible and experienceable for everyone without barriers.
In doing so, we rely on joint exchange in order to constantly improve ourselves, others, and the projects we work on. For us, it's important that work is fun, and to that end, everyone in the team makes purposeful and profitable contributions every day with drive and a sense of community."

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? 💐
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 🚀
