Martens Outplacement

Martens Outplacement is a boutique career transition and direct placement consultancy based in Hamburg that helps experienced specialists, project leaders, and executives navigate job loss and accelerate into their next role. Since 2004, the team has focused on outplacement for Fach- und Fuehrungskraefte in Hamburg and Northern Germany, combining empathetic one to one coaching with structured methodology and strong market access. Their programs start with processing the separation constructively, clarifying goals, and positioning the candidate value proposition. Consultants then optimize resumes and cover letters, refine LinkedIn and XING profiles, and craft evidence based narratives that showcase achievements. A key differentiator is inverse headhunting and direct placement: the firm researches target employers, uncovers latent demand on the hidden job market, and brokers warm introductions to decision makers and reputable headhunters. Candidates receive a channel strategy for job search, tailored outreach campaigns, and interview preparation focused on business impact. The team also supports salary benchmarking, offer negotiation, onboarding, and the first 100 days to ensure a confident start and successful probation. Clients define scope and duration and work on a transparent fixed fee basis. Advisors bring backgrounds in psychology, HR leadership, management, and coaching and are highly networked with Hamburg companies. With consistently strong client feedback and a 5.0 Google rating, Martens Outplacement is known for practical guidance, honest feedback, and measured momentum that shortens time to hire without compromising fit. Engagements are designed for professionals who want to sustain six figure careers and for specialists seeking a clear next step. Headquartered at Kattrepelsbruecke 1 in Hamburg, the firm partners with both individuals and employers during change, providing outplacement that is personal, discreet, and results oriented.

AZIMUT Recruitment Solutions

AZIMUT Recruitment Solutions is an independent, owner managed recruitment consultancy founded in 2010 and headquartered in Hamburg, operating across Europe to help clients hire the right people quickly. The firm focuses on lean, well structured and goal oriented processes, applies agile yet pragmatic sourcing methods, and leverages artificial intelligence to free up more time for meaningful, human conversations. AZIMUT delivers two complementary service lines.
