Proven expertise and up-to-date market know-how go without saying. What sets us apart: we make the effort to understand your business model and design an individual personnel search and selection process. Above all, we implement it pragmatically and with full commitment. And we live and breathe your business. Our long-standing client relationships and disruptive developments in HR spur us on to go the extra mile.
Our focus is on cross-industry and cross-functional personnel search for specialists, management, C-level and key functions for mid-market companies, scale-ups, family businesses, investment holdings, institutional clients and family offices.
We know our playing field
The way candidates look for jobs and the rules of job interviews have changed substantially in recent years. In competitive candidate markets, placing job ads is therefore no longer enough. Direct approach is now the gold standard for winning the right personalities. And headhunting has long ceased to be an elite topic – it pays off for many job profiles.
For personnel search, Executive Search and online recruiting alike: in-depth market knowledge in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, individual search strategies and a positive attitude towards people are the decisive factors for succeeding even in demanding candidate markets while protecting your employer reputation in the long term.
Partnerships at decision-maker level
We have extensive experience working with entrepreneurs, managing directors, heads of HR and decision-makers at every level. We immerse ourselves in your industry segment, work discreetly and are technologically up to date. And yet, alongside modern recruiting tools, we often turn to classic, confidential direct approach, because it has proven itself over many years. With deep insight into different industries and company structures, we can often provide simple and effective best practices.
As an owner, managing director, HR decision-maker, human resources manager or head of recruiting, you can expect professionalism, commitment and priority for your project. We work as fast as possible – without compromising on quality.
The process follows the goal
After a realistic assessment of the market situation and calibration of the job description, personality and requirements profile, we combine the right channels and methods for your personnel search as needed. The jointly agreed objective is at the centre – our process is aligned with it. In confidential executive search projects you benefit from our many years of experience in direct approach, the utmost discretion and our network.
Since no two companies and hardly any two requirements profiles are alike, we offer no standard projects. We look forward to discussing your needs and will put together a tailored proposal at short notice.

What about AI?
We are convinced that hiring decisions on the employer’s side and individual career decisions alike belong in human hands. At the same time, we keep our administrative and overhead costs as low as possible so that we can offer our clients attractive terms. To that end, we make targeted use of automation and AI.
Where we use AI: talent intelligence, research, scheduling, administration
Where we do not use AI: CV screening, direct approach, interviews, advice, decision-making
