For Lena-Josefin Miller it was 2023: no hiring, so no recruiter needed anymore. The company she worked for in Hanover even laid off employees after it got into trouble. Unlike colleagues in the “People & Culture” team who accompanied the restructuring, there was no longer a place for them at the proverbial table. A blessing in disguise: Miller was taken over by the parent company, where she was responsible for the employer branding from then on. Many recruiters felt the same way as you did that year. Not just in Germany, but in many parts of the world. Especially in…
In German labor law, there is generally no legal right to an interim certificate. The situation is different with employment references. In this case, employees have a legally defined claim when their employment relationship ends. This is clearly regulated in Section 109 of the Trade Code (GewO). However, a current ruling by the Cologne Regional Labor Court (judgment of the LAG Cologne dated March 4, 2026 – 5 SLa 495/25) now provides clarity as to the conditions under which employees can request an interim certificate and when there is a “valid reason” for this. The specific case before the Cologne…

Sources from La Moncloa have assured this Friday that the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, “has never had a meeting or an encounter with Leire Díez”, contrary to what the former socialist militant wrote down in one of her notebooks. “Meeting with PS,” the PSOE plumber wrote in a notebook included in the case summary, in a possible reference to the head of the Executive and without developing the content of that alleged contact. This morning, Sánchez assured that he did not know what Díez was doing. “I have never been informed of Mrs. Díez’s adventures because I would…
TO All our colleagues at 60 FROM Lesley, Bill and Jon We have had a hard time deciding whether to stay at 60 Minutes. We’re still deeply upset by the firings of Tanya and Draggan, strong leaders who everyone respected. As far as we can tell – because no explanation has ever been offered, they were expelled because they fought for our 60 Minutes values and stood up to protect our independence and integrity. Newsrooms are not supposed to be run like dictatorships. Collaboration and argument are the way we have always worked at…

“Hopefully we can do another act with Mónica Oltra.” It was April 9 and Gabriel Rufián, ERC spokesperson in Congress, shared the stage in Barcelona with Podemos MEP Irene Montero. The party has just been left out of the Cortes of Castilla y León and from Madrid its leadership began to strongly agitate the idea of an electoral tandem between the two. Rufian, the preferred political leader among the progressive electorate to lead a unity candidacy on the left, extended his hand to also attract the former Valencian vice president to the debate. The idea has taken almost two months…
Between skepticism and irrational expectations of salvation: In many places, the AI transformation in Germany is proceeding in an unstructured manner and without a strategy. How can HR find better approaches? A comment. Maybe you feel the same way – sooner or later, in many conversations, whether at work or with friends, the topic of artificial intelligence comes up. The emotional mix is characterized by amazement at the abilities, skepticism regarding ethical questions and mixed feelings about the impact on the future world of work.
