Hire a Friend: Alex & Jenny
Alex has been working at CHECK24 in Leipzig for five years and is responsible for personnel development in travel products. Due to his positive experiences at CHECK24, he recruited his current colleague Jenny via the Hire a Friend program almost half a year ago. As a result, Jenny now works in Leipzig in the accounting department of the flight comparison service. You can find out why Alex recommended CHECK24 as an employer, and what exactly convinced Jenny to apply in the interview.
Hello, you two; please introduce yourselves briefly.
Alex:
Hello, I'm Alex, and I've been working at CHECK24 for almost 5 years. There, I am responsible for personnel development in our travel products.
Jenny:
Hi, I'm Jenny. I've been with CHECK24 for 6 months and am in the flight comparison accounting department. I have been an accountant for over 5 years, but I originally come from sports economics.
How do you two know each other?
Alex:
We have known each other for quite a while, since 2005. The short version: we were married, happily separated, and have an almost grown-up son.
What did Alex tell you about his job, and why did that convince you so much?
Jenny:
Alex has mentioned for a few months that I could apply at CHECK24. I was on parental leave, and there were some changes in my job at the time that I wasn't happy with. However, at CHECK24, both the team structure and the development opportunities suited my ideas. As a result, I was open to a career change and applied.
Why did you think Jenny would fit in at CHECK24?
Alex:
Jenny is inquisitive and very ambitious, and she fits nicely into the flight team with her open nature. I also know that she is always fully committed, which is precisely the kind of colleague we are looking for.
How did your application process work?
Jenny:
On Alex's advice, I uploaded my documents in the usual way via the portal, naming him as the "source," of course. Then I had two interviews with my team leader, Sandra, and Christian, my CEO. After that, everything was signed and sealed within three weeks, and we signed the contract.
The best thing about CHECK24?
I like the fact that I have the opportunity to participate in processes and can implement my ideas directly.
Jenny, Accountant Flight Services
And Alex, would you recommend CHECK24 as an employer again?
Alex:
Yes, of course, always a pleasure.
Were your expectations met, and are you happy in your current position?
Jenny:
My expectations were exceeded. My job is very varied, I feel very comfortable in my team, and the opportunities to participate in processes and implement ideas were previously unheard of.
