The successful filling of vacant positions is one of the most important yet most difficult entrepreneurial decisions. However, we can support you in this process.

A successor for a key position is being sought. This is to be handled discreetly within the company.

There is a vacant key position that you don’t want the market to know about.

In-house recruiting has proven unsuccessful.

In-house recruiting cannot handle the high number of positions to be filled because of limited capacity.
