Hidden Champs - For Companies
Become a Hidden Champ and use the potential of PhD graduates for your company. You will tap into a new source of excellent applicants and benefit from GSO's more than 20 years of experience at the interface between science and business.

Visibility for companies in line with target groups
Our survey (2021) has clearly shown researchers have considerable information gaps when they want to switch to the business world. With our #GSOHiddenChamps service, we want to give researchers and companies (especially SMEs, Small & Medium Sized Enterprises) the opportunity to close this gap.
With HiddenChamps, we make your company not only visible to the target group, but also approachable. We ensure that your job advertisements are understandable for scientists and put your company on the radar of the target group through targeted marketing measures.
Our survey with researchers shows:
2/3 of all respondents do not have suitable companies or job profiles on their radar, as many SMEs are not sufficiently well known.
More than half of all researchers believe that they do not meet the job requirements, as these are often written in industry-specific wording and lack a reference.
One in two researchers cannot imagine what their day-to-day tasks in a company might look like, as there are no role models of researchers already working in industry.

oriented company profile
We tell your story: Authentic, individual and prepared for the target group of researchers. To do this, we visit your company on site and give potential applicants a look behind the scenes.

We “decode” your advertisement: We bridge the gap both between applicants* skills and your requirements for the best possible match.
