Within six weeks, you will either have a matching candidate or full clarity about what is blocking the process!

Recruiting is about economic necessity: filling positions that work sustainably and with substance. If you are on this page, you are probably facing one of two challenges:

  • You cannot find the right candidates for your open positions.
  • Or you do not know why the market is not giving you any answers.

My offer to you: I deliver results.

Within six weeks, I will either provide you with three suitable candidates or identify the reasons why the position could not be filled and suggest possible solutions. I think and act entrepreneurially as a problem solver. I always keep factors such as time-to-hire, opportunity costs, and reputation risks in mind.


The reality of recruiting today: faster, random, expensive

The reality of recruiting is often driven by automation and a focus on efficiency: AI-supported tools take over the pre-selection process, and short standard interviews replace personal conversations. Deeper insights into tasks, teams, and cultural fit fall by the wayside. Anyone who does not match the job profile exactly is rejected, regardless of their potential or experience. Instead of genuine quality, the focus is on meeting KPIs, at the expense of fit, motivation, and long-term retention. Many companies treat their recruiting workflow like a mass production process. The result is random, but rarely a true effective match.

The result?
Positions remain unfilled for weeks and months, even though support is urgently needed. The costs quickly add up to €50,000 to €100,000. If the new employees leave within a year due to a poor fit, an investment equivalent to a well-equipped mid-range car has gone up in smoke.

Tailor-made and effective recruiting

I think differently about recruiting: individually, contextually, and with a keen eye for what really works. As a demanding component for the successful existence of your company in the market, your recruiting needs to be tailor-made. That means knowing the market and at the same time understanding your company in its uniqueness. This is the basis for me to find the right talent for you. That's why I like to compare my way of working to a manufactory: structured and individually tailored.

Together with you, I analyze what it truly takes to fill a position effectively. People who stay, perform, and match. There are situations where quick action is necessary without losing sight of the long-term effect. Then it's a matter of doing the right thing first and then doing it efficiently:

  • Filling critical positions via direct/ executive search
  • Relieving your HR team by taking on interim roles as HR business partners, recruiters, or project managers
  • Structure and process analysis with quick-win potential: Where can small changes create significant relief?

Short-term symptom fixes can provide immediate help. However, the goal should be a long-term effective HR and Recruiting strategy that fits your operational reality.
