Future of Work: Inter­view with Chris­ti­an Biedermann

The world of work is changing, faster and more profoundly than ever before. What role recruiting plays in this transformation is explained by our Managing Director, Christian Biedermann, in an interview for Mediaplanet's Future of Work special edition.

The e-paper is already available online (in German), featuring the cover story by Prof. Dr. Antoinette Weibel (University of St. Gallen) as well as Christian’s interview.
The print edition will follow on October 18, 2025, in Finanz und Wirtschaft.

In her lead article, Prof. Dr. Antoinette Weibel emphasizes that the future of work must be more human, and based on trust. Christian picks up on this perspective in the interview and makes it clear: this has defined Coopers’ recruiting strategy for 15 years.

We recognize the individuals behind every résumé and those who shape an organization. On this human level, values need to align, only then can hiring decisions be truly sustainable. Trust, in this sense, is the key “currency of the future.”
