We are a leading personnel consulting firm for luxury and premium brands, offering executive search, headhunting and recruitment services for international brands and retailers from selected sectors.

Established in 2008, our consultants have an excellent understanding of internationally successful luxury and premium brands and an in-depth insight into the German market.

We see ourselves as a ‘boutique’ executive search and recruitment provider since we serve only the most demanding of sectors, where creativity, quality, emotion and design are paramount.

Our work in this field requires a unique, distinctive and careful approach, not just when it comes to maintaining and managing our clients’ brands, but also in regard to the selection of the individuals who are behind the products and companies we serve.

Our core sectors are:

• Fashion & lifestyle
• Jewellery & watches
• Beauty & cosmetics
• Leather & accessories
• Furniture & interiors

This environment, with its short life cycles, is our world. We rise to the challenges and bring fresh inspiration to traditional recruitment practices. We set the bar high and demonstrate outstanding professionalism, commitment and discretion. We are dedicated to nurturing long-term relationships with satisfied clients and candidates.

We serve both the retail and the wholesale structures of international brands and companies as well as their corporate organisations.

We apply our extensive, long-standing expertise to both long-term searches as well as short-term recruitment. Each individual search is actively managed and given personal attention.

We recognise our clients’ goals and cultures and the requirements they place on new staff – and we understand the challenges associated with finding the right individuals.

EXECUTIVE SEARCH

Whether in retail, wholesale or inside your corporate organisation, we are dedicated to finding the best match for your needs.

The search process begins with an in-depth analysis of your company that covers industry, competition and market position. This produces a detailed candidate profile on the basis of which the search can begin.

Having analysed aspects such as positioning, performance and requirements to be met by the candidates, we create a list of target companies as well as a target personality profile.

Next we identify suitable candidates and contact them either overtly or covertly.

During a screening interview we develop a clear picture of the individual candidates and look beyond their CVs to explore their motivation, attitude and goals.

Finally, we draw up a detailed profile for each candidate, present it to them and, if desired, accompany them to their interviews with you.

RECRUITMENT

In addition to long-term executive searches, we also conduct short-term recruitment drives, for instance for retail teams prior to the opening of a new store.

Our in-depth, professional evaluation of client needs allows us to minimise the risk to the client, respond rapidly and guarantee an effective selection of suitable candidates.

CONSULTING

We are dedicated to what we do, take a professional approach to our work at all times and treat each client as an individual. Our services go beyond executive search and recruitment to include solutions to issues unrelated to staffing and HR.

We maintain in-depth relationships with companies, applicants and specialist media in all sectors that we serve, forming a strong network that we put to good use on your behalf.

Talk to us. We’re delighted to support you!

COACHING

We have long-standing experience in the field of consulting and coaching and are fully trained, certified coaches, allowing us to offer professional support to candidates in the following areas:

• Advice on their individual professional perspectives and career planning
• Interview training and job search strategy design
• Preparation for imminent salary negotiations
• Analysis of candidates’ strengths and weaknesses
• Career coaching prior to promotions, job changes or re-entry into working life

Thanks to our professional expertise and dedication, we can serve our clients and candidates in an atmosphere of maximum trust and respect.

Our integrity and enthusiasm allows us to take the time to listen to your needs and concerns, preparing the ground for an efficient, strong partnership.

We exercise utmost responsibility and discretion when it comes to serving the individuals who turn to us, and demonstrate transparency and service orientation at all times.

We understand entrepreneurship to mean full compliance with ethical principles, creating the basis for long-term success on all sides.

We are passionate and optimistic about what we do, which has allowed us to build up an extensive high-value client base and candidate pool over the years.
