What essential key qualifications should potential candidates have?

Digitalisation is making rapid progress worldwide, including in our industry. This means that we are looking for digital natives with excellent project management skills, highly qualified business developers and IT specialists. We are also in need of specialised technicians, as well as finance and sales talents.
Our wholesale, retail, financial services and IT units cover the entire spectrum of the automobile trade and enables us to offer interesting career opportunities in many exciting occupations.
What are you looking for in a candidate?
We are looking for the "perfect match". We want the candidate's qualifications and personality to match our company. We want people who get things done. People that radiate an inner drive to take bold steps forward. But by far, the most important criteria is authenticity.
What is your advice for young candidates?
Follow your passion. For the younger generations, work has become much more than simply a means to an end: Work means fun, enjoyment and self-fulfilment.
Are there any requirements that must be met?
Flexibility is becoming more and more important, especially due to the advancing globalisation and digitalisation. Flexibility in terms of (international) mobility, as well as changing jobs. In 10 years, there will be occupations, that we haven't even thought about yet. These are the requirements that we must meet and exceed.
