For the future of your business.

That's our motto where we bring expertise and personality of the candidates in line with your requirements, for the future of your business.

Precise, conscientious, individual.

In detailed interviews, we identify the soft skills, combined with abilities, know-how and experience, that define a leader, for the benefit of your company.

Recruiter, not service provider.

Top candidates are not just exchangeable numbers for us. We take a good look at the person and personality– with experience and empathy.

Executive Recruiting

We support your company in every aspect of staff recruitment

Our clients rely on our targeted search experience and industry expertise in the construction sector.

We constantly maintain and expand our network contacts as well as with individual decision-makers and service providers. As a consultant in human resources and business environment, we search and find candidates who exactly meet your requirements.

Personality, abilities, skills, motivation and vision - everything has to match with your business.

We do not simply "place" any candidate with you, but focus on intensive communication, transparency and conscientious research. Our goal is a match between client and candidate, in which both sides mutually benefit from each other. We are relationship managers, accompanying the entire process from start to finish.

In order to find the ideal candidate for your vacancy, we first create a target profile together with you that helps us to identify the suitability of candidates for the respective position in your company.

When searching for potential candidates, we use all methods of modern recruiting:

  • Identification and direct telephone contact with candidates
  • Targeted use of various social media
  • The follow-up of recommendations from our network and that of our contacts

In-depth interviews with the candidates allow us to identify key competences, personal backgrounds and motivation.

From this information, we prepare a confidential report with a recommendation for those candidates best suited to your company, your company's philosophy and the position available. Our reports serve as a basis for you to choose the best candidate for your business.

Your active participation is key to a successful search. Fast, clear feedback on confidential candidate profiles, prompt interview scheduling, and competitive job offers are essential to securing the right candidate.

Our philosophy

We believe in the thorough exploration of skills, personality and motivation of candidates, matching profiles with your requirements. We consider ourselves as recruiters who identify and contact suitable candidates based on vacant positions. We do not simply take names out of databases or place general job postings. Due to the lack of individuality, the gap between the requirements of clients and quality of candidates ends up being too big and therefore unsatisfactory for both sides.

With this professional approach, we maximize the probability of a successful employment relationship.
Our advisory services are fully rendered and completed upon the legally binding execution of the employment contract between client and candidate. Since everything that follows (pre-onboarding, induction, leadership, as well as the day-to-day work environment) inherently falls within the employer's purview, we cannot provide any guarantee for a candidate's length of stay in your company (e.g., probation period) or for their performance and results.

Business Succession

Discover a unique approach to fin­ding suit­able candi­dates in comp­any succession

You have built up a com­pany with dedi­cation, but is it proving chal­lenging to find a suit­able suc­cessor? Do you want to enjoy the final decade(s) of your life in the re­assu­ring know­ledge that your com­pany is in compe­tent hands?

Together, we can get this pro­cess started.

There is a high demand for quali­fied com­pany suc­ces­sors on the Ger­man market. Our goal is to add value in two ways:

  • A speedy pro­cess (within 1-2 years)
  • A positive result (the identi­fi­cation of a buyer to whom you can hand over your be­loved company without worry)

Why are we the ideal choice to add value to this mar­ket?
As experi­enced re­cruit­ment con­sul­tants, we have specia­lized in suc­cess­fully fil­ling exe­cutive positions.

Our expertise in brin­ging people to­gether and our sensi­tivi­ty to who fits to­gether best enable us not only to place exe­cutives, but also to find quali­fied com­pany suc­ces­sors. That is why we have de­cided to focus on this speci­fic market seg­ment as well.

YOUR CAREER

We care about your future

A career change means investing time, depending on the new position you want. Our team supports executives in taking the next career step that is best for them.

We focus on specialist and executive positions in the construction industry.

If construction is your professional home, we welcome you to contact us with a targeted inquiry.

Please note: We do not provide general career counseling and do not process candidate profiles from outside the sector (e.g., general manage­ment). Unsolicited applications without a direct background in construction cannot be reviewed, stored, or answered due to capacity constraints.
