International executive headhunting company: development of customised personality test
Prof. Ziegler's expertise and that of his team lies in the field of psychological diagnostics and deals with all topics of personnel diagnostics in the HR life cycle. They focus on personality, intelligence and situational awareness. Ziegler and his team develop solutions to measure these in relation to requirements and to use them for performance or learning prediction. Therefore they use the full range of qualitative (e.g. interviews) and quantitative methods (e.g. tests, questionnaires, machine learning).
Prof. Ziegler has already carried out several successful projects with well-known companies in this area, involving the creation of competency models, employee surveys, annual appraisals or job aptitude diagnostics. Prof. Ziegler's working group also trains individuals or teams on topics of personnel diagnostics (e.g. assessment centers or interviews). In addition, Prof. Ziegler develops customized diagnostic processes or evaluates them.

The team of Christoph Schneider works on the impacts of climate and climate change in the field of urban climates and in the field of cryospheric sciences (anything related to snow and ice). His expertise comprises the downscaling of meteorological respectively climatological data for applications in high spatial resolution, for example for urban planning and construction schemes and also for the analysis of potential impacts of climate change on the level of city quarters and cities. Furthermore, such numerical and empirical-statistical procedures are applied to the projection of future water resources in glaciated catchments in high alpine environments worldwide. This also leads to applications regarding the future state of snow covers in mountain ranges which is especially important for questions of future prospects of snow sport tourism. In both fields of applications, the urban climatology and the cryospheric research, measurement strategies and data acquisition of relevant atmospheric variables for the projects are used besides theoretical modelling approaches and downscaling as outlined above.
