The Pillars of an Award-Winning Program
The Highlights of Getinge's Approach to Early Career Hiring
Building an Innovative and Multi-Faceted Approach to University Recruiting
Getinge discovered very early on that students were not interested to sit through another employer slide deck or hear a recruiter speak. They strategically engaged students through peer-to-peer conversations and introduced them to unconventional career opportunities through panel discussions. These events allowed early job seekers to ask candid questions and have open conversations with either their peers or Subject Matter Experts (SME’s). These collaborative events ranging from info sessions to workshops to panel discussions have increased Getinge’s talent brand awareness as the talent destination for a well-rounded learning experience and career opportunities.
Crafting a Standout Candidate Experience
Getinge is committed to innovating alongside the next generation. Opportunities for personal and professional development start at orientation. Through collaborative partnerships, open communication, and engagement, Getinge helps their early talent learn relationship building and networking skills. These individuals often have the opportunity to interface with members of the company as high up as the Executive Leadership Team, many also find lifelong mentors through Getinge’s open peer support network. Their flexible/remote work culture promotes work-life balance and opportunities to work on high-impact projects through continuous feedback as the #NextGenGetinge continues to grow.
Moving the Needle on Diversity & Inclusion
The UR Team at Getinge takes a unique and strategic approach to building their diverse bench. To recruit and hire a diverse slate of talent, Getinge continues to forge ahead by building strong partnerships among its student community and employer partners. From creating lean in circles to mentorship opportunities and other programs; Getinge is very intentional in their approach to their DEI/DIB initiatives.
Investing in Impactful Internship Programs
Getinge’s best resource is its people; their nascent internship program sustains an inclusive work culture through emphasizing opportunities, ownership of work, and taking action. Students are the future, and Getinge is committed to innovating alongside the next generation. Their flexible/remote work culture promotes work-life balance and opportunities to work on high-impact projects through continuous feedback as their #NextGenGetinge continues to grow. These components have made Getinge’s diverse program a standout experience, contributing to an impressive engagement rate.
Supporting the Growth and Development of Entry-Level Talent
At Getinge new grads are not only encouraged to bring their diversity of thought and experience to the table, they’re also provided with the tools to bring projects to life and serve as project leads. They are also partnered with mentors and peers who provide autonomy by empowering them to share their knowledge and make decisions. In addition to other development opportunities, the team at Getinge reminds the new hires that growth does not have to have a linear path; they encouraged to explore unconventional roles to learn new skills and not settle.
