Start in Pomerania – a unique edition of Recruitment Speed Dating at O4 Coworking

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

The sixth edition of Recruitment Speed Dating, which they have been organizing for students and employers from Olivia Centre and O4 Coworking for three years, has gained a new version. This time, the event is open to students of all universities from the Pomeranian Voivodeship. Start in Pomerania – the workshops ended with an unusual form of recruitment are a chance for 120 students to find a job.

 

What is the Start in Pomerania project?

Students from universities in Pomerania can choose from three May workshop dates, during which, under the supervision of experts from the HR and management industry, they will receive practical tips on how to strengthen their position on the labor market. In total, about 120 people will be able to take part in the workshops.

 

What’s next? Out of all the workshop participants, the best 20 will be selected and will have a chance to take part in the spring edition of Recruitment Speed Dating.

 

The workshops will be held on three dates to choose from: May 10, 17 and 23 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and participation is completely free of charge. Students will learn universal rules for writing professional application documents, practical tips on how to make information about yourself more attractive – in your CV, on Linkedin or how to increase the chance of being invited to an interview with your CV. The second part of the training will be devoted to self-presentation. Participants will learn how to talk about themselves in order to attract attention and convey the right content, or learn the secrets of effective pitching.

What is Recruitment Speed Dating all about?

Speed dating – speed dating, which aims to connect two people with each other, is increasingly being used in business. They have also become an effective form of recruitment in various industries. Around the world, as well as in Poland, such meetings are organized to familiarize employers with job seekers. Labour market giants such as Microsoft, Apple, Google and Airbnb take part in them.

 

O4 Coworking has already organized 5 editions of recruitment dates…

… And there is evidence that it works!

– We are after five editions and we already know that Speed Dating Recruitment has a chance to shorten the distance between the employee and the employer, give the job advertisement a human face, and warm up the image of large and small organizations. At the same time, it allows people with little professional experience to show themselves more fully than through a piece of paper, to experience – a bit relaxed and cheerful – and to build their first business relationships – says Marta Moksa, CEO of O4 Coworking.

 

For the employer, it is also a considerable time saver and an opportunity to get to know the candidate market. Speed dating recruitment is an effective form of hiring. According to O4 Coworking data, 60 per cent. recruitment interviews within the project resulted in employment.

 

Participation in Recruitment Speed Dating is an opportunity for companies and universities to test a new solution, but also to appear in the eyes of potential candidates as a modern place using market tools that are currently in trend.

 

O4 Coworking is the “matchmaker” of this success, but this project would not have been successful if it had not been for universities that want to support their students and help them find their way in the labor market. The partners of the 6th edition are the University of Gdańsk, Gdańsk University of Technology, SWPS University and Merito University.

 

Where did the idea of implementing such a project come from at O4 Coworking?

– O4 Coworking has always been a garden of talents. Both for the Olivia Centre organization (a lot of our wonderful team is now supported by the investor’s team) and for the Olivia Residents. Talents were supposed to come from new technologies and startups, but they were also supposed to come from universities close to us, or in general – from a huge crowd of people using coworking, workshops, conferences. When it came to supporting our powerful corporate neighbors and innovative, agile, flexible O4ians in recruitment, we knew from the beginning that we would not be following the beaten path and, let’s face it, moderately effective. Our strength is building relationships, networking, connecting people in an effective way, in a relaxed atmosphere, with humor. This is how the idea of speed dating preceded – and this is the most important part of this project – by preparatory workshops for students was born. Structured form, professionalism, 1-on-1 conversation, gently stepping out of the comfort zone – it turned out that it works and really builds relationships – says Marta Moksa, CEO of O4 Coworking.

 

A chance for your dream job

This is the first time that the project is aimed at such a wide range of students. Previously, it was implemented in partnership with a specific university. In May, every final year undergraduate and graduate student and graduate student can apply to participate.

 

– Previous editions have allowed us to see that students and graduates entering the job market have a great need to take advantage of workshops that will help them effectively prepare for the recruitment process, and Speed Dating Recruitment allows you to overcome the fear associated with a job interview. We wanted to give this opportunity to as many young people as possible. Hence, Start in Pomerania – a project that allows you to get a good start on the job market – says Martyna Czarnobaj-Borowska, project manager at O4 Coworking.

 

Who are employers?

To participate from employers Companies that are residents of Olivia Centre are invited. The industries are diverse: from IT, through HR, finance and banking, to logistics. Among the employers of the previous editions there were companies such as: Acaisoft, Amazon, AMS, Arrow Electronics, Bayer Sp. z o.o., Develocraft, FUJIFILM Europe, infoShare Academy, Invest in Pomerania, Lyreco Group Polska, ManPowerGroup , Nørd HR, Nordea, Olivia Centre, PKO Bank Polish, PredictX, Randstad, Ricoh Europe, Santander, Sawa Logistics Sp. z o.o., SoftServe, Sii Poland, TELUS International, Thyssenkrupp, Winning Moves Polska, Xceedance Poland, ZR Trade GmbH.

 

– I am very happy that we were able to join the event. It is also a very interesting experience for us as employers. It is great to observe young people who are determined to gain their first professional experience. In such a short time, they are able to build a good impression, make people interested in themselves and their competences. The speed dating itself was organized in a professional way, and the pizza at the end was a great culmination of a busy afternoon – says

Alicja Sawicka

 from Sii Poland.

 

– I wish I had the opportunity to do so 14 years ago, when I was entering the job market. Six minutes multiplied by the number of companies gives a huge dose of information about the market, which sooner or later will turn into a full-time job, and thus the development of each of the participants – adds Kamil Parafiniuk from Develocraft.

Who are the candidates?

Participants of previous editions rated the project as an enriching experience. Many pointed out that participating in it allowed them to tame the stress associated with the job interview and get to know their strengths as a candidate applying for a job.

 

– At first, I wondered if it was worth going to the workshops. Now, I can confidently say that this is the best student event I’ve ever been to. I learned how to write an attractive CV, how to perform well in a job interview and gained my first contacts. However, the most important thing for me was to overcome my fear of talking to my future employer and see that it is not as scary as it seems. Highly recommended – says Kuba Węgrzynek, a student at the University of Gdańsk, a participant of the previous edition of the project.

 

The 6th edition of the project is open to students of the last years of bachelor’s and master’s studies as well as graduates of Pomeranian universities. Applications are made online via the application form and participation is completely free of charge.

Design Anatomy’s Double International Success

Posted on by Bogusław Wieczorek

Design Anatomy has become a double winner of one of the most important European competitions, the European Property Awards, in the Public Service Interior and Office Interior categories. This is one of the most prestigious awards given to professionals associated with the interior design and real estate industry. The European Property Awards are the European part of the International Property Awards, which dates back to 1993.

 

Creative interpretation, intriguing design and a holistic approach to the needs of space users have been distinguishing the projects of Design Anatomy, which cooperates with Olivia Centre on a daily basis. This time, the jury of the International Property Awards appreciated as many as two office designs created for LPP S.A.: Contact Center and Deribit.

 

The first of the winning projects is special. Design Anatomy’s goal was to design a friendly and functional space for more than 90 people whose daily work consists of providing telephone support to customers. In a contact center, dozens of people speak several languages at the same time. The designed interiors are cozy, and the workstations are scattered on the surface, immersing themselves in the greenery and softness of the acoustic panels, which absorb the buzz of conversations. An important element of the concept are individually designed patchwork acoustic panels – the variety of colours, textures and patterns of fabrics creates individual zones of the office, referring to the client’s industry.

This is a valuable award for our entire team and a perfect culmination of a topic in which we have set ourselves a high bar, but also proof that it is worth going beyond conventional solutions,” says Anna Branicka, chief architect at Design Anatomy.

The greenery used in the rooms has air purifying properties and stabilizes the microclimate, which has a positive effect on the well-being of users.
In this project, the action plan was set by acoustics. Based on the analysis and simulation, the Design Anatomy team proposed an optimal, distributed layout of workstations. Each of the zones has been thought out in such a way as to ensure the comfort of work for everyone. The desks were created especially for this project, in cooperation with Nowy Styl, which also has its headquarters in Olivia Centre.

 

Depend on We want to provide our employees with conditions that neutralize the difficult nature of work in the Contact Center department. A high volume of conversations, the need to provide good acoustic conditions for customer service, and at the same time high dynamics of work and the need to maintain focus and concentration were quite a challenge for the designers. The space met all these requirements. Filling it with a lot of greenery gave the project additional color. A more homely and friendly character of the workplace is a great advantage, especially in the contact center area, which is rarely associated with such an aesthetically arranged space. Elements of wood, fabrics and steel that complement the whole are the perfect composition for our interiors, in which, I must admit, it is particularly pleasant to work – says Dawid Telepski, Contact Center Director at LPP.

Another award for Design Anatomy in the Office Interior category was given for the office design of Deribit – an Amsterdam-based company operating on the blockchain market.

Each award in this competition is a great source of pride for us and proof that our approach to design focused on people and their needs makes sense and is appreciated by world experts. – say the architects of the Design Anatomy studio.

The award-winning Deribit office is located on the 31st floor of Olivia Star – the tallest building in northern Poland. It has a unique view of the Bay of Gdansk, Gdansk and the Tri-City Landscape Park.

When asked about the inspirations accompanying the team during their work, Justyna Bilat answers: It was natural for us to take advantage of such a spectacular view and extend it, “draw it inside”. The entire range of colours and materials is based on inspirations taken from the panorama outside the window. The functional layout was inspired by the urban planning of the city: with a social heart zone in the center, meeting places nearby and quiet zones on the outskirts. Everything is immersed in greenery and natural materials in accordance with the idea of biophillic design.

The client’s main guideline was that the office should support the well-being of employees as much as possible. Design Anatomy’s designers have introduced solutions to improve acoustic comfort, a large number of living plants (nearly 1000), comfortable and diverse furniture for work, meetings and relaxation, as well as pleasant, zoned lighting. The variety of spaces means that every office user can find the perfect zone for themselves.

We congratulate the Design Anatomy team for their exceptional creativity in modernizing our offices. The innovative design elements designed create a dynamic, motivating and inspiring workspace for our colleagues. – says Beaudine Zonjee from Deribit’s Dutch headquarters.

These are not the first awards of the Gdańsk studio. Among the numerous laurels that the team has won in recent years, the most important are the first SUPER STAR 2019 award in the categories “Best Office in the Tri-City” for the Nordea office project and “The best recreational space in Poland” for the project for Sii.
