Headhunting in Germany
Headhunting is a special form of direct recruitment. A company uses HSH+S Headhunter Germany when it has a position to fill that is of high strategic importance, is difficult to fill or when the recruitment requires absolute confidentiality.
In the context of headhunting, we often hear about Executive Search. The term Executive Search does not refer to a particular direct approach method, but rather to the targeted persons, i.e. top management, c-level and vp-level but also supervisory.
The work of a professional headhunter in Germany requires not only research, strategy and analytical skills, there is also a need of tact. Absolute discretion is imperative. Furthermore, in Germany, the legal situation (DSGVO) is limited, the exchange of information allows only a minimum.
Risks while recruiting in Germany
„Management consultant, executive search, recruitment consultancy, temporary staffing, recruiting firm, employment agency, executive employment or recruitment agency“ – the German labor market has an inflationary use of all these terms, because they are not subject to any legal convention.
Germany is among the most successful economic powers in the world, together with the USA, China and Japan. It is the most successful economic power in the European Union and despite a structural unemployment rate of about 4% there are many highly qualified people in this country. Over 70% of Germans speak one foreign language, over 30% even two.
However, it is not easy to find the right performer, especially if it has to be an executive. The German labor market is characterized by a continuous shortage of high achivers in management or specialization, qualified engineers or talented sales people. Therefore, professional executive search, headhunting and recruitment services are needed to find good candidates and to motivate them for a change.
Mechanical engineering, automotive, chemical, pharmaceutical and aviation industries are the backbone of the German economy. More than 1.500 companies are world leaders in their field, but also in the packaging, measurement, technology, and electronic industries, especially in terms of innovation. In addition, the packaging industry, software, automation, logistics, biotechnology and digitalization have become important economic sectors. Therefore, leadership with special expertise is needed, just like engineers for optimization, production, research and development and talented highly qualified sales managers are needed more than ever.
