ERE Webinar

Scientific Scouting for the Most Talented Researchers

Presented by:

Have you ever wondered how one the best research organizations in the world identifies and attracts the most talented scientists? Are you interested in what the brightest minds in scientific research look for in their employer?

In our upcoming webinar you will be transported into the world of talent identification for academia.

The Max Planck Society is an internationally renowned and autonomous science organization that has been awarded five Nobel Prizes in the past three years, and in the years to come, this organization will face a major wave of renewal among their department leaders.

If you are interested in learning about the efforts of the Max Planck Society to identify and attract the best scientific talent, you won’t want to miss this session. Since the profiles of top scientists are incredibly specific, the sourcing concepts used by the scientific scouting officers at Max Planck Society are often very different from typical executive searches.

Join us for a free webinar with Marion Cerri and Henning Hofmann to discuss scientific scouting and how they successfully find the best researchers in the world.

Key discussion points of this webinar will include:

  • Metrics to evaluate and identify scientific talent
  • Differences in talent recruitment between academia and industry
  • A person-centered hiring strategy
  • The career path of two former scientists who became scientific scouts for the Max Planck Society
