Recruitment We help educate experts We think a transparent and structured recruitment process is important, so we constantly strive to improve our internal policies. We have developed a Recruitment Procedure in both a descriptive form and as a graphical diagram, which takes into account the measures already being taken (candidate competence profile and assess- ment matrix). The document focuses on equal treatment in making employment decisions and emphasises that no recruitment fees can be charged from candidates. The procedure was presented to the President of the Management Board in December 2023, and we planned to communicate the document to employees in early 2024. Our employees can also participate in internal recruit- ment. This is an opportunity for development within the company structure and for vertical or horizontal promotion. We conducted 75 recruitments in 2022, and 93 in 2023. Every person who takes part in a recruitment process at Nowy Styl is assessed against the same predefined criteria with respect to the requirements profile. In this way, we maintain equal opportunities and prevent discrimination. It was very important for us to have the recruitment process structured like that because we interview candi- dates almost every day. We use a standardised interview form that follows predetermined stages of the recruitment process: > creating a requirements profile – we define the skills and knowledge necessary for a given role, > developing a candidate assessment matrix – we assign a score according to the criteria of the requirements profile, > preparing phone call scenarios – we conduct a prelim- inary phone interview before inviting a candidate to interview in person, > STAR method – we prepare a competence-focused interview based on behavioural questions. Nowy Styl co-organises apprenticeships and internships for students, secondary school and vocational school pupils, as well as graduates. We provide young people with the opportunity to gain valuable experience and develop their skills under the guidance of supervisors who are experts in their respective fields. We accepted 53 people for appren- ticeships and internships in 2022, and 64 people in 2023. 68 Table of contents
