Besenthal Transport & Logistik GmbH

"I couldn't believe it at first."

Contacting LAEND was absolutely straightforward. We were finally able to remove this eternal stumbling block. LAEND did the most important preliminary work by creating detailed applicant profiles. This saved us a lot of time. It also clearly showed that print ads are completely overpriced and ineffective these days - hardly anyone (unfortunately) reads printed newspapers anymore. Good employees are the foundation of our company, and we are very grateful for that!

Birger Dreyer
Operations Manager Gartencenter Streb GmbH

"We've never had so many trainee applications."

We have always had difficulties finding suitable trainees - traditional channels such as print ads and job portals simply don't reach the right people. LAEND managed to get our message across to talented young people. The entire communication and process was uncomplicated and LAEND worked independently. Within a very short time, we received applications from motivated trainees who were a perfect fit for us. The campaign was a complete success.

Thilo Grau
Site manager GRIMME Uelzen

"So many applications, crazy!"

We ran a really successful recruitment campaign with LAEND and the result exceeded our expectations! The collaboration was uncomplicated, professional and, above all, fun. Within a very short time, we had numerous qualified applications on the table that perfectly matched our requirements. The LAEND team not only saved us time and stress, but also found the right employees for our team. A big thank you - we can highly recommend Laend Agrarmarketing!

Comparison of forms of employee recruitment

Newspapers & trade journals

The reach of print ads is now very limited. You can't be sure who is reading your ad and success is difficult to measure.

High scatter loss and low reach

❌ S uccesses can only be measured to a limited extent

The application process is often outdated and cumbersome

Headhunting & Recruitment

These solutions are very cost-intensive and often only successful in the short term. There is always the risk that the placed candidate will drop out after a few months and you will still have to pay a high placement commission.

High costs due to performance-based fees

Dependence on third parties

Risk that candidates are only willing to change jobs because of a salary increase

Job portals

Your ad competes directly with many other employers and therefore loses visibility very quickly.

High competition from many other job advertisements

High costs with often low response rate

❌ You only reach actively searching candidates

How long have your positions been vacant?

Applicants

82%

of the companies surveyed stated that they had not received enough qualified applications with their previous methods. Many positions remain unfilled or are only filled with insufficiently qualified personnel.

Channels

95%

of companies rely on traditional channels such as job advertisements in regional newspapers, their own company website, word of mouth, job boards, the employment agency and occasional posts on social media when looking for employees. However, these channels often only reach a fraction of potential candidates.

Time

60%

of respondents need up to a year to successfully fill a vacancy with a qualified employee. These long waiting times illustrate the challenges that agricultural businesses face when recruiting employees.

Does this sound familiar to you?

The mailbox remains empty
And when something comes in, it doesn't fit.

It takes a lot of time and effort, but the applications still don't come in. You have tried everything and still there is a lack of qualified candidates - and this is not without consequences.

It is absolutely understandable that frustration arises:
"Finding good employees seems almost impossible these days."
"Nobody wants to get stuck in, everyone is just looking for desk jobs!"
"Why does the search for employees have to be so frustrating these days?"
"Honestly, the constant disappointment among applicants is just annoying!"

Severe consequences for the entire company

Opportunity costs

Every unfilled position costs your company money. If employees are missing, orders cannot be processed on time. The average opportunity cost of a missing employee is around €10,000 to €30,000 per year. Every delay in filling vacancies reduces your operating income and customer satisfaction.

Overload & dissatisfaction

Existing employees often have to take on additional tasks when the team is understaffed. This overload leads to stress, greater susceptibility to errors and, in the long term, an increase in sick days. If employees are constantly working at the limit, their motivation and productivity decrease, which in turn has a negative impact on the entire team.

Dissatisfied customers

In almost every industry, deadlines and customer satisfaction are of crucial importance. Missing or overworked employees mean that customer inquiries can no longer be processed promptly, delivery deadlines cannot be met or quality suffers. This leaves a bad impression on your customers and leads to long-term losses - not only in the current order situation, but also in future customer loyalty.

What successful employee recruitment can look like
Our projects

Grimme Group

The problem

The Grimme Uelzen site, managed by Thilo Grau, was faced with the challenge of finding qualified specialists for the agricultural technology sector. The specialization in agricultural machinery and the requirements for highly qualified technicians made recruitment even more difficult. Traditional recruiting methods such as job portals and advertisements in trade journals did not deliver sufficient results, and there was a lack of specialists with specific expertise in agricultural machinery and agricultural technology.

The implementation

With the LAEND agricultural recruiting system, a targeted campaign was developed to attract specialists in the field of agricultural engineering. By targeting potential candidates via social recruiting and highlighting the development opportunities and innovation at the Grimme Uelzen site, we were able to reach qualified applicants.

The result

The vacant positions were successfully filled within 60 days. Thilo Grau was thus able to strengthen the Grimme site in Uelzen with experienced specialists in order to continue to meet the high technical requirements of the agricultural machinery industry.

Besenthal Group

The problem

The Besenthal Group was looking for qualified employees to cope with the increasing order volumes in the agricultural sector. Despite using traditional recruiting channels such as job portals and newspapers, no suitable candidates could be found for several months. This led to production bottlenecks and delays in order processing.

The implementation

The LAEND agricultural recruitment system was used to launch a targeted social media campaign that appealed to passively searching candidates. Optimized employer branding and a focus on the attractive working conditions and development opportunities at Besenthal enabled the target groups to be addressed in a targeted manner.

The result

The vacancies were filled with qualified specialists within 45 days. This enabled Besenthal to stabilize production and process new orders on time.

Suderburg & Dreyer

The problem

Suderburg & Dreyer, a service provider specializing in electrics for the agricultural sector, had great difficulty finding qualified electricians. The combination of the specific requirements of the agricultural sector and the shortage of skilled workers in the electrical trade made it particularly difficult to recruit suitable employees. Conventional channels such as trade journals and job boards yielded hardly any results, and the few applications that were received did not have the required specialization.

The implementation

With the LAEND agricultural recruitment system, we developed a targeted campaign that focused on passively seeking electricians with experience in agriculture. By combining social recruiting with a targeted approach to Suderburg & Dreyer's specific requirements, we were able to attract qualified professionals who were familiar with the particular challenges of agricultural electrics.

The result

The vacancies were successfully filled within 60 days. Suderburg & Dreyer was thus able to continue to meet the special requirements of its agricultural customers without having to compromise on the quality of the electrical work.

Why should outdated approaches bring fresh results?

Previous employee acquisition:

WHAT?

The classic requirements profile

Up to now, a simple, bullet-point requirements profile has been created that summarizes the tasks and requirements for the position. There is often a lack of details that make the job tangible and attractive for potential candidates.

WHERE?

Placement of job offers

Most agricultural businesses publish their job advertisements on their own website, distribute flyers or put up posters on site. In addition, (often paid) advertisements are placed in job portals or regional newspapers. However, these channels only reach a limited number of potential applicants.

HOW?

The recruitment process

Applicants must submit their complete documents - such as cover letter and CV. Once they have been checked, they will be invited for an interview. In many cases, applicants are pre-selected solely on the basis of hard facts, without considering personality or fit with the company.

The problems with this approach:

WHAT?

Not very motivating

Many applicants know what they can expect from the position, but they are not inspired or motivated by the job description. A good job should be presented in an appealing way that makes it clear to candidates what to expect - and why they should definitely become part of the team.

WHAT?

Channel selection

Traditional methods often only reach the right candidates by chance.

‍Reason1: Too few searching professionals - most potential candidates do not actively search portals, newspapers or company websites.

‍Reason2: Professionals from other companies do not move within your network - this means that they are not reached via word of mouth or simple social media posts either.

WHAT?

Lengthy & exhausting

For many potential employees, the application process involves too many hurdles. Complete documents, long waiting times between contact points and outdated methods often deter qualified candidates. In addition, long contact phases of 7 days or more lead to a high bounce rate - the best candidates have long since found another position before you respond.

Vacancies not only cost you nerves every day, but above all money.
