Faced challenges
—
The leading German automotive manufacturing company Continental wanted to find out what its skill structure looks like in order to be better prepared for the business of the future.
The challenge of the project, called “Big Data for Best fit”, was to analyze the current skill structure and to align it optimally and sustainably with the requirements of the Continental business model.
“We conducted our first pilot with HRForecast thinking big data had potential, however we were amazed at the transparency and insights it delivered. Since then we have conducted several projects with HRForecast.”
