Five steps towards becoming a more attractive employer

The check is based on five perspective shifts from Cristoph Fabikan’s 46-page practical guide “Become a Human Leader.” They connect recruitment with leadership: the starting point is not another recruiting trick, but how you see and lead people.

1

1. See the person behind the CV

Potential becomes visible when premature judgement ends.

Applications show experience and qualifications, but not necessarily mindset, willingness to learn or how someone treats others. Human recruiting explores experience and motivation before gaps or unconventional paths become exclusion criteria.

Core elements

  • Meet people before merely matching CVs.

  • Reflect on your own perspective and unconscious judgements.

  • Ask interested questions and genuinely listen.

2

2. Define who truly fits your company

Clarity about values matters more than an ideal profile.

The right employee is rarely the person with the perfect CV. What matters is whether mindset, collaboration and expectations fit how you lead. Technical skills can often be developed; fundamental attitudes are harder to change.

Core elements

  • Name three non-negotiable company values.

  • Describe what collaboration really looks like day to day.

  • Leave room for people who complement you in useful ways.

3

3. Discover passion and motivation

Enthusiasm reveals potential that qualification lists miss.

Passion does not have to map directly to the advertised role. It appears in what someone talks about voluntarily, where energy emerges and how challenges are approached. Understanding these patterns helps connect people with meaningful work and development.

Core elements

  • Ask about moments when someone lost track of time and surroundings.

  • Notice energy, curiosity and initiative.

  • Do not confuse potential with existing experience.

4

4. Attract right-fit employees through authentic leadership

Employer attractiveness grows from authenticity, not polished advertising.

A strong employer brand is not a slogan. It emerges when communication, leadership behaviour and culture align. SMEs and skilled-trade businesses can show what large employers struggle to copy: personal relationships, real responsibility and visible impact.

Core elements

  • Show what you stand for as an employer.

  • Share concrete everyday situations instead of generic benefits.

  • Build relationships rather than merely buying reach.

5

5. Understand job changes as a story, not a flaw

Frequent changes can signal growth, courage and reflection.

The label “job hopper” can turn a career story into a negative judgement. A human application process asks what prompted each change, what the person learned and which conditions enable long-term commitment.

Core elements

  • Understand patterns instead of counting positions.

  • Ask about decisions and lessons learned.

  • Create clarity about what helps people stay with you.

The path to right-fit employees begins with your mindset

The Attraction Check does not measure how loud your recruiting is. It reveals how clearly your mindset is already visible and which single next step can create the greatest effect.

The Manufacturing Workforce Crisis in Europe: 5 Levers That Actually Work in 2026

The European manufacturing workforce crisis is the convergence of five people-side pressures hitting producers from 5 to 500 employees at once: only 25% of manufacturing workers are engaged (Gallup), 32% of the 32 million European manufacturing workforce are aged 50-64 and will retire within 10-15 years (EIT Manufacturing), frontline managers have 29% advanced communication skill and drive 70% of team-engagement variance (Gallup / WGU), a 40-point gap between employer AI expectations and worker AI readiness threatens compliance under EU AI Act Article 4 (OECD / Randstad), and 83% of frontline workers cannot be reached by email (CultureMonkey). This pillar maps all five, shows the 5-lever fix that works without Enterprise-grade budgets, and links the sub-topics every producer has to own in the next 18 months.
