Initial Situation
With 930 employees in 70 different professions, Muri Hospital provides basic medical care in the Freiamt region of Canton Aargau. The digitalization of HR processes included introducing the Umantis applicant tracking system (ATS). At the same time, the outdated job portal on the hospital's website was to be updated, the effort required for job advertisements was to be reduced, and online applications were to be made easier.
Evaluation
After an evaluation phase, the project managers chose the Recruiting Suite from solique. This modular HR tech solution for SMEs complements ATS systems with extensive functions for creating, publishing, and presenting job ads. An intelligent API interface ensures smooth data exchange with all standard applicant tracking systems.
The cloud-based software solution from solique offers a user-friendly job portal for existing career pages, modern ad layouts with flexible use of images and videos, the possibility of simultaneous publication (multiposting) of job ads on several online job boards and in print media, as well as integrated success evaluation (performance dashboard).
According to Sabine Wiederkehr, HR Business Partner at Muri Hospital, positive references from existing solique-Umantis customers, the convincing price-performance ratio, and the simple and time-saving recording, publication, and success control of job ads were decisive for the decision in favor of the "Recruiting Suite".
Implementation
The "Recruiting Suite" was implemented within just three months. The adjustments included customizing the job portal and ad layouts to the hospital's corporate design, connecting relevant print media, online job portals, and social media platforms, dynamically storing existing framework agreements of the hospital with job boards, and configuring the ATS interface.
According to Sabine Wiederkehr, the "Recruiting Suite" meets all functional requirements and objectives, especially with Umantis' applicant tracking system. Essential factors for the project's success were the trustful cooperation with solique, the adherence to project deadlines and the short response times when support was needed.
«solique is a service-oriented, innovative, and reliable partner for multiposting solutions. I can highly recommend the Recruiting Suite.»

The challenge
Georg Fischer Ltd. (GF) employs more than 15,000 people (as of 2021) in 34 countries and 139 companies, 61 of which are production sites. In 220 years of company history, countless engineers, economists, and skilled workers have left their mark on the industrial corporation headquartered in Schaffhausen (Switzerland) and ensured that the corporation remains globally competitive - thanks to technological innovation and responsible, entrepreneurial action.
To continue its success story, Georg Fischer Ltd. relies on young talents and experienced professionals who share the company's values, vision, and purpose (Becoming better every day - since 1802). That is why, in late summer 2021, the decision was taken to fundamentally overhaul the existing job portal on the corporate website (www.georgfischer.com) and, in particular, to modernize the job postings and other measures. The focus was on the following objectives:
- To position GF as a modern and innovative employer.
- To make the prevailing spirit of optimism tangible and visible.
- To emotionalize the text-heavy job ads stylishly and supplement them with interactive elements.
- To make it significantly easier to find all globally advertised vacancies.
- To ensure the connection of online applications to the Umantis recruiting system.
- Ensure the application of the applicable CI/CD guidelines.
- To handle the publication process without media discontinuity with solique recruiter (already in use).
The solution
In several workshops, solique worked out the requirements for the new job portal in close cooperation with HR employees of GF and defined the new structure and design. Based on our many years of international "best practice" experience, the project team quickly agreed on target-oriented "dos and don'ts". Based on this, we developed the first frameworks, which we finally implemented iteratively. Thanks to the modular architecture of our multiposting application solique recruiter, dynamic search, filter, and selection functions (in the web frontend), as well as the connection to the ATS system of umantis (in the web backend), could be realized quickly and without technical frictions.
The new job portal finally went live in February 2022. Today, it presents itself with a dominant, emotional visual language, with less text but with video messages on corporate philosophy and socially relevant topics. Additionally, there are interactive elements in the area of fringe benefits and contemporary functions, such as the integration of Google Maps to calculate the route to work, taking into account different means of transport.
«We appreciate that we can adapt and individualize individual elements of our job ads for local conditions. Through visual and interactive content, our company culture, values, and strategy can be experienced by job applicants. Solique supported us from idea generation to 'go-live' in a straightforward, fast, and professional manner.»
