Excellent personnel consulting can only be achieved ...
Deep industry knowledge
Clear requirements
Close cooperation
Individual direct contact
Reliable communication
Only with the right people can your company become successful.
The development and growth of a company depends decisively on the quality of its employees. With us, you can find the right specialists and executives for key positions and open vacancies.
The shortage of skilled workers does not affect every company the same way ...
Only companies that position themselves as attractive and sustainable employers can escape the shortage and attract highly qualified specialists and executives.
The labor market is causing enormous difficulties for many companies
It is no longer employers but employees who set the pace today. Only companies that actively seek potential and existing employees have a chance of surviving.
The search and selection process does not produce the desired results (fast enough)
There is a lot of competition when it comes to finding and selecting specialists and executives. Self-staffing often fails due to a lack of experience in attracting qualified candidates for important and hard-to-fill positions.
Important positions remain vacant for a long time and stunt growth and development
If positions remain vacant over a longer period of time, this has negative effects on value creation and the positioning of the company.
Value creation is suffering and employees are the victims of open vacancies
When there is a lack of top performers in the organization, everyone else involved is all the more called upon to get involved. As a result, long vacant positions have a negative effect not only on the organization but also on individual employees.
Tailored staffing and sustainable organizational development
We understand the technical-complex world of our customers in depth and breadth. This is the only reason why we are able to find competent candidates for our customers from the automotive industry, mechanical engineering and medical technology who really fit the job and remain with the company for the long term.

What you can rely on ...
Fulfilling our exclusive consulting assignments for you as a customer with a technical background is particularly important to us. For us, a comprehensive understanding of the overall situation and business goals therefore stands at the beginning of every successful collaboration. Clarity and transparency are the basis for our joint success.
Many years of industry knowledge
We repeatedly fill positions in all areas of the organization for our technically oriented customers and therefore after 15 years have build a valuable network. Our industry focus ensures that we can understand our customers and their challenges in depth and breadth.
Profound customer understanding
On the way to finding and selecting suitable candidates, we function as your sparring partner by supporting personnel and specialist departments with broad market insight and management expertise. We offer valuable insights and reliable support that will make your personnel decision a long-term success.
Discretion and confidentiality
Discretion and confidentiality are an important matter for us; this is particularly important if competition and your own employees are not to be informed ahead of time about upcoming personnel changes. We approach candidates with sensitivity. We are a reliable partner for companies and candidates in our projects.
Create lasting connections with hand-picked candidates
We don't send resumes around, but work on tailor-made solutions for companies and candidates. In this process, we regard both of them as our customers. As a strategic partner, we support you in finding and selecting important key positions with professionally and socially competent specialists and executives.
Individual
direct contact
The classic job ad only reaches a few people. As a result, a large number of interesting service providers do not hear anything about your offer. However, with direct contact options, we are able to reach more qualified prospects in a shorter period of time. The high effort required to select the right candidate from a wide range of candidates is a significant burden on your organization. We support you right through to the draft decision.
Experienced
research team
To design an efficient and effective process, it is essential to have your own research team. In this way, we successfully design an adequate and convincing initial contact, targeted consultant interviews and qualified customer advice — always with the aim of helping to shape sustainable “lock/key” relationships right from the start. We do not see ourselves as intermediaries, but always as consultants who only work on behalf of customers and candidates.
Reliable
communications
Communication during the course of a project is a fundamental component of cooperation for us. We will regularly inform you in writing and by telephone about the project status and the key experience and insights we gain in discussions with potential candidates. This often results in valuable fine-tuning of the requirement profile and the framework conditions. In any case, you know where we stand in the project.
If you want to attract highly qualified employees, you have to put effort in to win potential candidates
We strive for solutions that promise long-term success for both candidates and your company.

Our answers to your questions
... about personnel consulting, executive search and technical recruiting.
Usually three to six months. That depends heavily on the task. Electronics specialists are significantly more difficult to hire than quality specialists, for example. Location can be decisive. If a move is necessary, it is easier to move from Mannheim to Cologne, even with family, than from Mannheim to the Hunsrück.
Discretion and confidentiality are an important matter for us; this is particularly important if competition and our own employees are not to be informed ahead of time about upcoming personnel changes. We approach candidates with sensitivity. We are a reliable partner for companies and candidates in our projects.
That is when our quality guarantee applies, i.e. we are looking for a new candidate free of additional charge.
We work exclusively for technical companies in industry and technical services companies, but fill all functions there, from senior specialists to management, for both technical and commercial roles.
Our focus is on the entire German market. However, our customers are internationally active companies in industry and services. That is why we have built up trusting partnerships for personnel recruitment in North and South America as well as in China over many years. These companies specifically support German companies in their peronal production in these countries. We can therefore also offer this high-quality service to our customers.
