How we work
Four steps to a successful placement.
Transparent and predictable — from the first conversation to the signed contract.
01 Day 1
Briefing & role profile
A 60-minute conversation in person — afterwards we know your role, your team, your culture. That becomes the profile we search against.
02 Week 1–3
Candidate sourcing & screening
Active sourcing, matching from our pool and direct approach — we check both technical fit and culture before introducing anyone.
03 Week 3–6
Interviews & selection
We present 3–5 vetted profiles with our recommendation. You run the interviews — we moderate where it helps.
04 Week 6–8
Contract & onboarding
We facilitate negotiation and signing, and stay in touch with both sides during the probation period. Re-placement guaranteed.

Frequently asked
Everything you want to know.
Did not find what you were looking for? Write to us — we respond on working days within 24 hours.
How does the collaboration work?
We start with a personal briefing, define the search profile and then work in regular updates — transparent, predictable, without unnecessary loops.
How long does a placement take on average?
Six to eight weeks from briefing to signing. We present the first matching profiles within the first ten working days — often considerably earlier when the profile fits our active pool.
How large is your talent pool?
More than 4,500 active profiles in Banking & Finance, Legal & Tax and Office — DACH-wide. On top, we use active sourcing and our network of specialists who do not look publicly.
How do you ensure the quality of placements?
We assess every candidate technically and culturally — you only see profiles we consider a fit. If a placement leaves during the probation period, we re-place the role without additional fee.
