R+V: Recruiter Hagen Corvers Introduces Himself and His Process

Wiesbaden – German insurance provider R+V Versicherung AG has published details about one of its recruiters, Hagen Corvers. Corvers, who has been with R+V for over two years, is responsible for the company's system development, application management, infrastructure, and architecture/application coordination, particularly concerning premium collection and composite insurance.

Corvers began his career in the fashion industry before spending six years in IT staffing, working as an IT Key Account Manager and Recruiter for DAX-listed companies. He emphasizes an open, dialogue-driven approach in the recruitment process. At R+V, the interview process begins with a clear outline of the interview structure, followed by introductions from all participants. Subsequently, the discussion delves into the applicant's professional background, aiming to foster a comfortable atmosphere for conversation.

The recruiter's preparation involves a thorough review of job requirements and tailoring questions to the applicant's specific career path. Corvers also highlights the importance of examining references and the cover letter submitted by candidates. He notes that company benefits and an overview of the organization are presented later in the interview, with next steps agreed upon collectively with the applicant.

Corvers also recalled a humorous interview situation where an applicant mentioned moving to a specific area, but only meant the immediate vicinity, which became a running gag throughout the conversation. R+V actively seeks to attract new talent and encourages interested candidates to explore job openings and join the company's talent community.
