We're looking for the five-legged sheep of employees,’ my customers say.

‘At least you're honest,’ I reply, and we laugh.

Everyone is looking for colourful eggs at Easter. But here at gloor & lang, we look for eggs all year round! As colourful and special as possible!

After all, these could have been laid by the five-legged sheep! If only we keep track of this sheep...

‘Aren't eggs enough for you?’ I sometimes ask, ‘maybe they will hatch into a five-legged sheep? ‘But then only the really big ones!’

So here you go: We even have eggs from the five-legged sheep!

Today's article in the NZZ was about how companies are using AI to help them receive even more applications. Job seekers use AI to optimise the wording and matching of their documents. Conclusion and quotation: “Anyone who is afraid of falling through the cracks with these prospects can take comfort in the fact that even the best AI will not find perfect personnel all the time. The number of highly qualified, socially competent, eloquent, and financially modest “five – legged sheep”, is limited. That's why, despite the revolution in recruiting, real humans with strengths and weaknesses will be hired in the end.”

Thank you, Christin Severin, for this assessment, a true recruiting Easter message.

I'm looking forward to your Easter stories about five-legged sheep....
