Built for training and volume selection
Apprentice assessment days with group logic, self-booking and minimum-participant monitoring: every year again, every year smoothly.

From the apprentice to the plant manager.
flynne organises selection at every level: training intakes at volume, supervisor assessments with care, leadership diagnostics with discretion.
Apprentice intakes and works council in one system
Training intakes, a shortage of skilled workers and many sites meet co-determination and collective agreements. flynne brings every procedure into one system, documented in a way works councils accept.
The intake planned backwards.
From the start of training, with a view of the places still open.
Workshop places and machine time.
Rooms and test benches recorded with their properties, conflicts visible while planning.
The Betriebsrat already convinced.
Complete works council processes in a group environment, with the papers included.
Several plants reported separately.
By site and procedure type, with charging to cost centres.
Co-determination built in
A full committee process as a blueprint: the reasoning and documentation for your works council are included.
Read moreThe selection year in manufacturing
Two things run in parallel: the apprentice intake against a cut-off date, and ongoing hiring next to production.
Autumn
The apprentice intake is advertised, workshop places and trainers are blocked out.
Winter
Apprentice assessments with practical elements, minimum attendance watched per date.
Spring
Contracts and chamber registration. Open places become visible and are filled deliberately.
All year
Skilled workers, supervisors and engineers run next to production, planned by shift pattern.
From the workbench to the plant management
Every role brings its own rules, its own participants and a bottleneck of its own.
Technical apprentices
Mechatronics, machining, electronics: the procedures include practical parts and therefore need workshop places, not just meeting rooms. Rooms, trainers and machine time have to line up, and all of it before training starts in September.
Skilled workers on shifts
Selection runs alongside production. Anyone acting as an assessor is missing from the line, so scheduling has to know shift patterns and not just calendars. And applicants on shifts cannot come at any time of day.
Supervisors and team leaders
The step from skilled worker to leader is regularly underestimated. What counts here only shows through observation: how does someone hold a conversation about poor quality? Such procedures need trained assessors and clean documentation.
Work requiring a certificate of competence
Crane, forklift, qualified electrician: without the certificate nobody may start, and many certificates expire. Selection and deadline management therefore belong together, otherwise onboarding reveals what the procedure missed.
Engineers and development
A tight market and a long decision path: anyone waiting three weeks for an appointment has already signed elsewhere. At the same time the departments that have to assess are tied up in project work.
What co-determination and safety law require
BetrVG § 95: selection guidelines
Criteria for personnel selection are subject to co-determination, and works councils in industry are strong. That argues for structure rather than against it: what is stored in the system and applied uniformly can be agreed, and the agreement can be kept. flynne has full works council processes in large groups behind it.
Vocational training act
Training contracts and registration with the chamber follow fixed deadlines. flynne plans the procedures backwards from the start of training and makes visible which places are still open.
Occupational safety and certificates of competence
Many activities require instruction, a fitness examination or a certificate of competence. flynne carries them as stages of the procedure with a status and an expiry date and only allows dependent steps once they are done; they are carried out by the responsible bodies, not by flynne.
JArbSchG § 32: initial medical examination
Applicants under eighteen are subject to their own rules, including a medical examination before employment begins. In a training intake that applies to many applicants; carried as a stage of the procedure, it becomes a list rather than a search.
DIN 33430 and the EU AI Act
For conversations with the works council the standard is a useful reference: it describes exactly what committees ask for, traceable procedures, trained participants, the same conditions for everyone. The EU AI Act picks up the second big worry: no machine judges applicants; in flynne the AI works purely on the organisation.
Common questions from this sector
Our procedures need workshop places, not meeting rooms. Does that work?
Yes. Rooms and resources are stored with their properties, including workshop places, machines or test benches. Scheduling only books what fits the type of procedure, and shows conflicts while planning rather than on the day.
How does flynne take our assessors’ shift work into account?
Availability can be recorded as shift patterns rather than as individual dates. Only staffing that fits the shift plan is suggested, rest periods included.
What does the works council say about it?
We bring the reasoning and the documents with us, because we have been through the process in full in a large group. The decisive point for the committees so far has been: flynne judges nobody, it organises. And what is stored uniformly treats everyone alike.
Can we report on several plants separately?
Yes, per site and type of procedure, and across all of them nonetheless, for the question of where things are stuck. Internal cost allocation to cost centres is provided for as well.
