Copenhagen’s Metro Company saves time and money with StepStone Solutions E-recruitment

Copenhagen’s Metro Company has chosen StepStone Solutions E-recruitment to streamline its recruitment processes.

London/Copenhagen 1 July, 2010 – StepStone Solutions, a global leader in total talent management, today announced that Copenhagen’s Metro Company has chosen StepStone Solutions E-recruitment to streamline its recruitment processes. Metro Company is responsible for the construction of the new Copenhagen ‘City Circle’ Metro line and the working of the existing Copenhagen Metro. The company was founded in 2007 and is owned by Copenhagen Municipality, Frederiksberg Municipality and the State of Denmark. 

Metro Company is facing an exciting time: City Circle is a brand new Metro line to be run in tunnels under the city, the bridge quarter and Frederiksberg. City Circle is scheduled to be completed in 2018 and will have 17 underground stations. The Metro company is therefore facing a significant recruitment challenge  over the next few years to bring the new City Circle into operation.

“Attracting the right talent at all levels, from construction workers to executives, will be vital for Metro Company’s success in this key project” said StepStone Solutions CEO, Matthew Parker. “StepStone Solutions E-recruitment will enable them to maximise their exciting employer brand and find the people they need quickly and cost effectively.”

StepStone Solutions E-recruitment is delivered as Software-as-a-Service and will support and streamline all Metro Company recruitment activity. Metro Company’s career website now has an integrated job search page where candidates can find all vacancies, search jobs online and register their CV in the job bank. In addition, the subsequent recruitment process will be much easier to handle with the administrative functions in StepStone Solutions E-recruitment.

"Metro company faces a critical task in building local infrastructure for transportation in Copenhagen," says Mette Drehn, Country Manager for StepStone Solutions. "It is vital that they have a cost-effective, seamless recruitment process if they are to attract and recruit highly qualified staff. StepStone Solutions E-recruitment will give them a modern recruitment website that will attract candidates and facilitate Metro Company's recruitment. "

 

The Copenhagen Metro

The Copenhagen Metro has two lines which run from suburban Vanløse to Vestamager and Copenhagen Airport, both situated on the island of Amager. The Metro opened in 2002. It takes 23 minutes to travel through the entire system. Most passengers, though, spend a maximum of 6-7 minutes at a time in the Metro. The lines cover 21 km - 10 km in tunnels and 11 km on elevated tracks and embankment.
