Right off the bat… why should people consider Solero Prostějov as an employer?

“At Solero Prostějov, we offer more than just a job—we offer a place where your contributions truly matter. We provide flexible hours for office staff, financial incentives, and opportunities for personal and professional growth. While we may not be the biggest player, our stability and strong team culture speak for themselves. Many of our employees have been with us for years, which says a lot about the kind of environment we’ve built here.”

What is Solero Prostějov’s focus?

“We design and produce solenoid mobile hydraulics for various types of agricultural machinery. We also create active suspension systems for passenger vehicles. The beauty of serving two different industries is the balance it offers. When one sector faces challenges, the other often remains stable. This balance benefits our business and provides our employees with a secure environment for growth and career development.”

What does Solero’s ALL-IN philosophy mean to the team?

“It means we’re all in this together. We take pride in meeting customer demands and delivering on time, even when faced with challenges like rising component prices and low stock levels. Everyone works toward the same goal: satisfying our clients and delivering high-quality products. There’s no ‘that’s not my job’ attitude here—everyone pulls their weight, and that collaborative spirit is what keeps us going strong, even in tough times.”

What makes Solero Prostějov’s culture stand out?

“Our culture is built on trust and collaboration. We prioritize safety and quality, not just for our customers, but for our employees as well. We want everyone to feel valued and supported, and our manager’s open-door policy means that you’re always heard. This environment of trust and mutual respect is what makes Solero Prostějov a great place to work and grow together.”

Why choose Solero Prostějov over a larger company?

“While larger companies might offer higher pay, they often come with more physically demanding, repetitive work in environments that can be less safe. At Solero Prostějov, our production work is lighter, safer, and more diverse. You’re not just another cog in the machine—you’re an essential part of a team that truly values your contribution.”

What do you look for in candidates?

“We look for people who are motivated, thoughtful, and have a genuine care for their work. Skills are important, but what’s more important is that candidates align with our team culture and can see the bigger picture. We value those who are eager to contribute to our success.”

What’s the recruitment process like?

“Our recruitment process is simple and transparent. If we think you’re a good fit, we invite you for a face-to-face meeting with HR, followed by a meeting with your future manager. You’ll also get a chance to meet the team and tour the workplace. It’s a straightforward, honest approach to help you understand what life at Solero is really like.”

What excites you about Solero Prostějov’s future?

“I’m optimistic about the opportunities in the mobile hydraulics market. With steady demand across agriculture, construction, and mining, I’m eager to see how we can grow and capture these opportunities.”
