Orders are growing. Where can companies in Ostrava find the people they need?

In recruitment, the time between selecting a candidate and their first day at work also matters. At our Ostrava branch, we help companies plan their staffing needs, find people and prepare them to start work. Our new colleague Petr Pospíšil, Senior Business Development Manager, works with employers to discuss their staffing requirements.

Through his previous experience, Petr knows companies in Ostrava and the Moravian-Silesian Region, including their close ties to the automotive and heavy industries. In meetings with employers, he regularly addresses staff shortages. Alongside filling current vacancies, companies need to secure production and management staff for the months ahead. Recruitment plans depend on how orders develop and the deadlines companies need to meet.

At SYNERGIE, Petr is the point of contact for discussing these requirements. When proposing a solution, he draws on our teams and experience in recruiting both within Czechia and internationally.

Plan your workforce around your orders

We start by clarifying how many employees a company needs, for which roles and by what dates. We distinguish between immediate needs and requirements expected in a month or six months. We also review current recruitment activities so we can provide support where the client needs it.

This conversation also helps companies that have yet to define their requirements. Together, we can use their order schedule to identify which roles to start recruiting for and which recruitment options to consider. When discussing specific deadlines, we openly explain what each approach involves.

“A conversation with a client often reveals that a different service would help them more than the one they initially considered. What matters is being able to assess several options and draw on experience from other regions, industries or countries. This gives the company a sound basis for making a decision,” says Petr Pospíšil.

Expand your pool of available candidates

Our search starts with the requirements of each workplace. We combine local knowledge with international recruitment options. For employers around Ostrava, proximity to the Polish border is another advantage. We continue to see interest in working for Czech companies among candidates in Poland, so we also explore this candidate pool when it fits the brief.

This allows us to compare the available options with the client before they decide how to proceed. The key factors are the experience candidates need and when the company needs them to join.

Make preparations for the first day easier

Our Ostrava branch provides a base for face-to-face meetings with candidates and for coordinating preparations before they start work. We invite candidates directly to our office, arrange the necessary medical examinations and provide work equipment where needed. This allows us to organise these steps quickly and reduce the workload for the client’s HR team.

We also visit companies in person. From Ostrava, we are within reach of employers across the Moravian-Silesian, Olomouc and Zlín regions.

“A local branch brings value to clients when it makes day-to-day cooperation easier. We can meet directly at their premises, work with candidates in person and coordinate preparations for their first day. Petr is available to companies in the region to discuss and plan our cooperation, backed by SYNERGIE’s expertise and resources to deliver it,” says Branislav Jančuška, Managing Director SYNERGIE Czechia & Slovakia.
