ALPLA is Austria's leading recruiter in the industrial sector
Best recruiter study 2015/2016: Awarded the golden quality seal
ALPLA is one of Austria's leading recruiters. The packaging specialist received the golden quality seal for the industrial sector at this year's Best Recruiters study. Its nomination for the Betrieblicher Sozialpreis 2015 (Business Social Award) underlined the commitment of the family company to its employees.
ALPLA also achieved excellent results in the Best Recruiters study in previous years. This year, the company met the requirements for the golden quality seal for the first time, making it the leading Austrian company in the industrial sector. ALPLA was ranked 26th place overall of the 500 employers examined. At the official ceremony on 3 November 2015 in Vienna, Uwe Breuder, Head of Human Resources at HQ Hard, was presented with the award.
"This industry victory highlights the effectiveness of our measures for increasing the professionalisation of staff recruitment and development," says ALPLA CEO Günther Lehner. The implementation of a modern applicant management system, including a career portal (career.alpla.com) and internal recruiting portal, is just one example of the many projects completed. "This evaluation confirms that the standardised HR processes have been introduced successfully at all Austrian locations and are working well," Lehner continues. In addition to its headquarters in Hard, ALPLA also operates production sites in Fussach, Steinabrückl and Waidhofen.
In the right place at the right time
"As a technology leader, we need the very best employees. The selection of employees is just as important as providing advanced training to our employees in our ALPLA Academy," says Lehner. Uwe Breuder adds: "Our vision is to find the right people at the right time for the right positions, and to build a reputation as an attractive employer."
