... stutters as I’m not an early bird. But when I have a good podcast or audio book on my 45-minute drive to the office, I “quickly” leave any sleepiness behind. By the time I get to the coffee machine in the office, I look forward to seeing my colleagues and candidates and to the tasks that lie ahead.  

Direct communication. I tell it like it is ;-) In IT-Recruiting I make sure that job interviews are pleasant and respectful and that the candidates are assessed fairly. And on the side, I am part of a team working to implement SAP SuccessFactors for an even better candidate experience :)   

... I harness my horse or saddle up and relax while riding through the wonderful countryside along the Ems river. In rainy weather I dress warmly, because the stable does not muck itself out ;-) Instead of counting new hires, I also like to count stitches while crocheting amigurumis.  

... comes with the first rays of sunshine and a hot coffee! And if the sun isn’t shining in Münster, my current favorite song turned up loud helps my motivation!   

My super power is my good mood! Even when things get stressful, I don’t let anything spoil my mood. At zeb, I am your contact person when it comes to starting your consulting internship. Viewing applications and communicating with candidates is part of my daily business.  

... I try to catch every ray of sunshine! I meet friends and family and love board games of all kinds—so a games night is the perfect way to combine the two! But I also like to be out and about, walking around Münster’s Aasee lake, meeting a friend in a café and strolling through the beautiful city center. In the summer I like to relax in the mountains of South Tyrol!   

... I am already motivated when I get up, and after my first coffee, I am even more so. 

Appointments, appointments, appointments. My super power is my organizational talent – paired with a good mood and a smile on my face.

... I prefer to spend every free minute in the sand playing beach volleyball – if that's not possible, I like to move around in the fresh air.

Definitely the prospect of no two days being alike and always bringing surprises, but in between facts and figures, event planning and contact with applicants, it’s the team that matters - there’s always time for a coffee with colleagues to get advice or just have a chat.

Facts and figures? Excel spreadsheets? Long to-do lists? That’s just my thing. To make sure that it doesn’t get too dry, I’m always happy about a little variety: with the Female Excellence@zeb program, I take care of events, webinars and everything else related to getting started as a female consultant at zeb! 

... you’ll find me in some form of movement: running, playing volleyball, climbing, doing yoga or just taking a walk around the Aasee in Münster. Aside from this, I maintain my beloved to-do lists at home too!

... comes from the fact that I’m much more productive early in the day than in the late afternoon/evening. And when the sun is also shining, I have the feeling that not a minute should be wasted sleeping.   

My super power is my positive mindset. As an interface manager, I am in contact with many different people who come to me with very diverse and often new concerns. Rather than just sticking my head in the sand, I prefer to stay optimistic and take on the challenges.  

... I like to find ways to balance my office work. Most of the time I end up playing soccer, going jogging or taking my dog for a walk. Apart from that I generally like to be on the road, trying to experience as much as possible on my travels and preferably being as active as possible.   

 ... improves quickly through fresh air and a delicious glass of hot lemon.  

... Reacting quickly to changes, organizing and coordinating appointments and meetings, and acting as an interface between internal and external parties.  

... I like to go for long walks, cook with friends and spend time with people. However, I also have nothing against a day in with a good book or an exciting TV series.   

Ideally after a run around the Aasee with good music in my ears and the first rays of sunshine on my face, meeting the team in the office over a good coffee.

Talent relationship management: I am responsible for recruiting new colleagues internationally. I am also in constant contact with our former interns, providing them with news from the zeb world and staying in touch with them through the zeb.talents program.

... I like to be out and about, with my racing bike on one of the numerous cycle paths in and around Münster, with friends in a small restaurant or café or at concerts.  

What motivates me is our team, the open, creative exchange and the opportunity to try out new things.  

As the person responsible for recruiting and employer branding, I am responsible for the strategy and its further development. In my role, I support the team and represent the topic internally and externally. As Chief CSR Officer, I am also responsible for sustainability at zeb.  

... I like to ride my mountain bike through the woods, enjoy playing board games with my family and love to attend all kinds of live music events: classical, jazz, rock.  

I look forward to meeting interesting people! 
I hope to get as many people as possible enthusiastic about zeb. Because zeb is a great employer, and that also motivates me every day (and has done for a long time)! 

... establishing contacts and networking. I like to engage in dialog with people to get them excited about zeb: In Talent Acquisition Management, I use the Professional Career Networks to recruit new employees for zeb. In Candidate Relationship Management, I keep in touch with interesting and interested candidates and, via our zeb.stayconnected program, with people who are not currently looking to or able to work here. 

... I manage my family’s day-to-day life   
... I make sure my two daughters are happy; ... I like to meet friends and relax by doing Pilates. 

... I’m not an early bird, but once I am up, I look forward to a varied day with great colleagues and interesting tasks.  

Meetings, meetings and meetings—and ideally, all at the same time. At zeb, I make sure that the candidate talks to the right experts at the right place at the right time. For this purpose I plan and organize the zeb.candidate days which take place regularly.  

... I like to be on the road (mostly by bike) and staying busy. I need to have music and I like it loud. To switch off I go for a walk with my dog or relax at home.  

... is the prospect of a varied day and working with my colleagues. 

I make sure our application process runs as smoothly as possible and that our vacancies can be found by all interested candidates. 

... I listen to music or podcasts all the time. I also like to be on the move, either running or hiking. 

Shortly before eight (assuming the S-Bahn hasn’t been delayed ...) I’m often the first one in the office, switch on the lights and enjoy the start to the working day in the slowly waking office.   

I work on everything related to the application and selection process. Even after 20 years, the variety makes every day exciting at zeb: operating and using the IT system, monitoring and controlling using facts and figures, optimizing and applying selection processes ... And above all: talking to people!  

... I read to immerse myself in stories. Sometimes I have been so into my book, that I’ve even missed my S-Bahn stop. When I’m not reading, my focus is on my family and my dog.  

... comes from the expectation of having a great day ahead of me and being able to cross at least 10 things off my to-do list :)   

My superpower is my organizational talent. Being responsible for numerous events, I often have 50 different things that need to be managed at once. To achieve them all, i need to be multifaceted – one minute I’ll be building a stand for a trade show, the next I’ll be making strategic decisions.  

... I can often be found on the soccer pitch. If I don’t have a ball at my feet, I am involved in various committees for sports and young people in my region (the beautiful Emsland). And if there is time for something else, I like to solve Sudokus, crossword puzzles, exit games or to plan the next cycling holiday.   

... comes from the quiet gurgling of the coffee machine :)  

My super power is to turn buzzwords into reality. To me, innovation, disruption and transformation are not just words to be brandished about, they are part of my mindset and daily actions.  

... I train for the next half-marathon obstacle course, drink a coffee while my daughter rides a pony that is much too fat, or try to keep the freshly planted garden in good shape.
