RECRUITINGINITIATIVEFOR THE MAGNASTEYR FAMILY
In 2017, Magna Steyr set out in search of an incredible 3,000 new employees
to handle the numerous new vehicle programs at the Graz location. As finding
so much active support for Magna Steyr is not an easy feat, the company
developed a large-scale recruiting initiative with various focal points.
Martina Goger, Marko Ilic and Mohammad Kutaini are three of the 3,000 new
employees who started their careers at Magna Steyr as part of this initiative.
Today, they are already in the middle of their working lives and are actively
involved in bringing the latest vehicle models onto the road.
