Für jeden gibt es einen passenden Arbeitsplatz

Marketing - Human Resources / Medicine/software
German term or phrase: Für jeden gibt es einen passenden Arbeitsplatz
The sentence is used as a subtitle in a brochure describing a new type of software for hospitals. Any ideas on how to make this sound less boring than "There is a suitable workplace for everyone"? The brochure is targeted at english speaking health care professionals.

Hi Umberto Eco (not really, are you? Love your books!)

The right jobs for the right people


Explanation:
This of course is not translation but copywriting. It's up to the end client to ensure that they haven't filched some other company's slogan or breached some fort of copyright, if it exists.

Might I respectfully suggest that whatever answer is chosen, it shouldn't go into the glossary as it isn't a "term".

Explanation:
I am making assumptions here but they're probably hoping people will be smart enough to read between the lines that they need people with diverse skills and won't take any Tom, Dick or Harry that comes along..

Jobs tailored to the individual


Explanation:
Since "passenden" comes from the word for "fitting," tailored seems like the obvious association. This still won't make anything less boring about working in a hospital. The German seems reminiscent of the old Marxist thing about "everyone according to their ability..."
