— Turning openings into opportunities Reinventing Talent

Acquisition to more quickly find the best-fit candidates for open positions

Every year, ABB hires for about 10,000 open positions. The recent and upcoming changes to the recruiting process, which are based on business feedback and requirements, will attract better-fit, high-quality candidates and create an exceptional experience for them long before they join the organization. Have you noticed the changes in our job ads? We’ve revamped them to help us stand out, and attract and intentionally recruit for diverse candidates. These changes are also in line with our new employer branding identity and reflect ABB values and work spirit. Next time you need to hire someone, your Talent Partner will assist in selecting from more than 100 carefully crafted job advertisement templates. These templates are available in different languages and help simplify the recruiting process by following one global standard. Targeted outreach and improved communication

Not only are the look and feel of our job posts different, but we’ve also taken bold steps to introduce gender-neutral, inclusive language, and position ourselves with a D&I statement at the top of each job ad. We also aim to meet diverse talent where they are by posting open roles on prominent D&I job boards (e.g. through eQuest or Circaworks) and leveraging partnerships with organizations and associations committed to D&I, like the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), Femtec or Catalyst. With Femtec and Catalyst, we’re also organizing virtual training modules for our Excelle Program, which empowers women in our Early Talent programs to develop and own their career.
