Unser Recruiting-Prozess
1
Briefing, Profile Analysis & Requirements Definition
Every search begins with an in-depth analysis of the client’s business, organizational structure and position profile. We identify key requirements, success factors and cultural context to ensure a precise alignment between the company and potential candidates.
2
Targeted Attraction Strategy
We design tailored job advertisements and select the most effective publication and communication channels to address the right candidate segments.
To achieve full market coverage, this is complemented by focused direct search activities aimed at passive candidates.
3
Direct search & Market Mapping
For highly specialized or senior roles, we implement structured direct search campaigns, supported by market intelligence and a curated network built over years of experience in DACH and Spain.
4
Candidate Assessment & Shortlisting
All applications and identified candidates undergo structured screening, competency-based interviews, and technical as well as cultural fit assessments. We provide clients with a qualified shortlist of candidates who meet the professional, linguistic and intercultural requirements of the role.
5
Selection support & Placement
We coordinate interviews, provide transparent progress updates, and actively support both client and candidate throughout the decision and offer process — ensuring a smooth and sustainable placement.
