Overview of functions

Executive Management

Tough times mean even tougher demands on upper management – and not just in the fields of technology and management, but also on the personal management style of each individual. Employees, customers, and stakeholders demand a persuasive, authentic management presence. Top executives are also expected to display visionary power coupled with the strength to implement that vision, as well as a determined willingness to take risk while remaining responsible for the results. Special people like these are few and far between. We’re known for our ability to find them anyway.

Sales

Are you searching for the right mix of “hunters” and “farmers”? Are you seeking to expand in specific geographic areas, or in particular vertical markets? Will you be most successful in the marketplace with a direct channel approach, an indirect approach, or an individualized mix of the two? Are you looking for people who can move products, or “solution sellers”? No matter what approach you use to close the sale, you simply must have the top performers in your industry. Your best move is to have an executive recruiting firm on your side that will work hard to realize your goals. We’d be glad to talk to the most interesting candidates for you – and work with you to win them over for your good cause.

HR/Personnel

The personnel director or HR manager is responsible for a key company function. Along with proper personnel planning and supervising of employees at the operations level, issues such as strategic resource development, recruiting, and new HR processes (digital personnel files) present major challenges. Working together with labor representatives while advancing company goals before the Works Council demands a great deal of moderating ability and personal integrity. Special skill is needed to find the right personalities for this key function – because how you fill this position will determine the future success of your company. This is why you should rely on the experience, competence, and integrity that we are proud to offer you with our human resource consultants.

Research and Development

R&D is becoming an increasingly important function at many companies: only those who work with the newest technologies can turn out innovative products and survive amid the changing demands of shrinking markets. As a consequence, an increasing number of brands and patents are being registered that enable companies to climb to the top of the market. This success depends on having the right minds in your research and development department – from individual researchers to top management. Sometimes it’s not so easy to find these experts. So we’ll be glad to use our extensive network of contacts to help you significantly boost the development potential of your company.

Marketing

Marketing is one of the key functions at a company: this is where new products are created, customer needs are determined, and demand is developed and tied to your company with the right communications tools. New media like the Internet are becoming increasingly important for fully exploiting all possible opportunities and achieving long-term results. This requires qualified employees with industry know-how who can quickly pick up on trends, and who have a good feel for increasingly demanding customers. Thanks to our many years of specializing in marketing and media, we know these top-quality experts – and we’d be glad to suggest just the right people for your specific marketing needs.

Production

Continuous improvement in production has always been a key task for every company – and not just since kaizen became a popular buzzword. Ongoing processes must be in place to improve quality and throughput while reducing costs. This classic challenge requires people with classic qualifications – coupled with entirely new expertise, because innovative technologies, a wide variety of wage structures, and emerging customer markets also require the relocation of production facilities to effectively meet the challenges of global competition. And where are the right people for these tasks? Which arguments are the best to persuade them to come work for your company? Our industry experts would be glad to tell you!

Engineering

Despite tough economic times – or perhaps precisely because of them – businesses in many different fields still need highly qualified engineers who can successfully guide both domestic and international projects to guarantee the company’s continued success. Our customers expect us to introduce them to specialists that can generate the decisive technological advances their companies need – advances they must have to survive over the long term in this highly competitive environment.
