How Alliander attracts technicians and IT professionals with ‘#100 good reasons’ (Alliander entry)

How Alliander attracts technicians and IT professionals with ‘#100 good reasons’ (Alliander entry)

The electricity grid is overloaded and the energy transition is accelerating. To solve this, we at Alliander need a great many people. Specialists and career changers! In engineering and IT. They are not actively, or only passively, looking for work, and because Alliander is not known as an IT employer or for its career transition opportunities, finding colleagues is a challenge.
