The <strong>Talent</strong> <strong>Program</strong> at a glance<br />
Our in-house recruiters and outside headhunters are constantly looking for suitable candidates. If we<br />
find that a candidate fits our program and your company, we will introduce this individual to you. You<br />
can then arrange an interview to get to know this screened and preselected candidate in person.<br />
If a Cisco Partner preselects a candidate, this individual qualifies for our one-week evaluation class. We<br />
will provide a welcome package with preparatory materials for the various technologies. In the course<br />
of an intensive evaluation class, our specialists assess the candidates' technical and communication skills<br />
as well as their commitment to the program.<br />
Once candidates have successfully completed the evaluation phase, a partner can select and hire the<br />
candidate, who is now qualified to take part in the corresponding six-month training program. The<br />
candidate gets a temporary contract for the duration of the training program. The contract guarantees<br />
permanent employment once candidates have successfully completed the program.<br />
During the six-month training program, the new employers receive regular reports providing details on<br />
their new specialists’ progress and earned certifications.<br />
