Many of our clients are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This includes industrial enterprises from various sectors as well as IT service providers, software and hardware companies and consultancies.

 

The IT-Personalberatung specializes in IT and high-tech sectors. We therefore provide our high-quality personnel consulting services to the internal IT departments or IT service companies of our industrial enterprise clients.

 

An explanation of the terms personnel consulting, personnel placement, Executive Search and headhunting will help you understand what services the IT-Personalberatung can provide you with.

Personnel placement

Personnel placement agencies are often large recruitment agencies whose business model is to acquire as many clients as possible with the help of a sales team or to proactively initiate business relationships, e.g. via job advertisements by sending profiles of potential candidates to the companies advertising the positions. Often, the services are provided without a contract or purely based on success with the objective of filling as many positions as possible with the least amount of effort.

 

In personnel placement agencies, “personnel administrators” are comparing general job advertisements to candidate profiles. It goes without saying that no high-quality selection and application process can be achieved with this method. Companies looking for employees are faced with far too many unsuitable profiles and do not receive the effective support they need in the war for talent.

Personnel consulting for small and medium-sized enterprises

The entirety of small and medium-sized enterprises is either planning for or in the middle of digital transformation. Only companies capable of mastering it within the next few years will be among the leading companies in the future. We should also keep in mind that IT is no longer a closed-off sector.

These services in their entirety are what we understand as high-quality personnel consulting.

Executive Search services by the IT-Personalberatung

We use “Executive Search” to find candidates for our clients‘ executive and top positions. Our personnel consultants will conduct a targeted search for the best candidates to fill these demanding, first-rate positions and will guide them through an intensive and highly personal application process.

 

After determining the job profile for exceptional vacancies as well as the desired professional expertise and the equally important personal skills, a particularly high-quality selection and recruiting process is performed during the Executive Search. Among other things, we will create a list of target companies where potential candidates are suspected. We analyze competitors and target companies using a broad range of criteria. We pay particular attention to the approach of potential candidates. Executives are demanding and know exactly what they are looking for. They have a certain set of criteria to determine whether they even consider a change. It is our task to select the right criteria to win over the “heads of”.

 

We are professional, personable and highly reliable at all times and directly approach suitable candidates. This is also referred to as headhunting, which is why personnel consultants are also known as headhunters.
