00:00Ten minutes changed Yannick's career.
00:02With speed dating, you just have a one-on-one conversation that you can have.
00:07That's better than sending an application and waiting for an answer for days.
00:11This is changing how young people and companies connect.
00:15At events like this in DĂĽsseldorf, first impressions happen in minutes.
00:19The format is gaining ground, especially as companies struggle to fill positions.
00:23Last year alone, around 70,000 apprenticeships went unfilled across Germany.
00:27V&V Aufsruhrkomponenten is one of the firms taking part.
00:32The mid-sized firm provides elevator parts, but finding candidates isn't easy.
00:37Times have changed.
00:39I believe companies have to be a bit more active and cannot rely on job postings,
00:44but have to get out to the people who could be interested.
00:48After just ten minutes of speed dating, both sides get an idea of whether or not it's a match.
00:53For applicants, it's a chance to experience the job up close.
00:57I was invited to a trial week here for a trial internship,
01:01and after checking everything out, I actually liked it here from the very first day.
01:06I'm here to file.
01:07For Yannick and many others, speed dating led to an apprenticeship,
01:10and the company hopes he'll stay on as a full-time employee.
01:15Tip 4 leaf leadership in front yard,
01:16and the company hopes he'll stay on as a phoenix.
