About
Built around plant hiring, not generic talent talk
Platformanalytics is an employment consulting practice focused on manufacturing and industrial hiring support in Germany.
Origin
The practice grew from repeated conversations with plant managers in Sachsen-Anhalt who were tired of agencies sending warehouse CVs for CNC seats. Based in Ballenstedt, we stay close to the industrial corridors of the Harz foothills and central Germany — places where machine parks are specific, works councils matter, and commuting distance decides whether a vacancy fills.
What we bring
Our consulting work sits between HR administration and production reality. We translate supervisor language about presses, weld processes, and night premiums into role profiles candidates can evaluate honestly. We screen for shop-floor habits — lockout awareness, handover discipline, willingness to work with older equipment — not only for polished interview performance.
How we work with clients
We prefer to walk the line before we advertise. A half-day plant visit often reveals why previous ads failed: missing equipment names, unrealistic shift stories, or induction paths that scare experienced tradespeople. Engagements stay scoped — one role family or a defined set of openings — so recommendations stay concrete.
Values on the floor
- Honesty about scarcity in skilled trades before promising timelines
- Respect for works-council processes and German labour norms
- Role briefs that production can defend, not only marketing can publish
- Shortlists with notes supervisors can act on during interviews
