HSH + S Headhunter

Founded in 1994, HSH+S Headhunter Germany is a retained executive search firm dedicated to helping German and DACH industrial companies secure leaders who drive technological change. Serving CEOs, CXOs, shareholders, investors, and supervisory boards of international mid sized businesses and hidden champions, the firm focuses on management roles in engineering, technology, and sales, from C level and managing directors to division heads, sales directors, team leads, and key specialists. With roots in industry since 1990, HSH+S brings deep expertise across mechanical and plant engineering, electrical engineering and I&C, industrial automation, process optimization, and digitalization aligned with Industry 4.0. Its search methodology blends goal oriented research, rigorous assessments, reference analyses, and careful evaluation of motivation, professional competence, and leadership potential. Acting as bridge builders, the consultants position themselves as a trusted, independent partner to both leadership and HR, providing a fast, discreet process and clear recommendations while avoiding conflicts by serving no more than three clients per industry. The practice supports clients that develop, manufacture, and distribute machines and equipment, components and systems, materials and software, and also works in medical technology, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, FMCG, and intralogistics. Known for pursuing entrepreneurial, results driven candidates rather than administrators, HSH+S helps clients turn complexity into competitive advantage by strengthening leadership, automating manufacturing, and improving processes from development and production through supply chain, sales, and service. Led by founder Alexander, whose background spans engineering studies at KIT Karlsruhe, an industry traineeship in the USA, and business administration in Mannheim followed by product management, international executive assistance, turnaround leadership, and marketing and sales head roles, the team understands both shop floor reality and board level priorities. Since 2004 the firm reports a placement rate above 95 percent, reflecting its disciplined, tailored search projects in Germany and beyond.

Applications are pre-screened, a client-specific question set can be administered, interviews are coordinated, and participation in client interviews is available on request, with continual feedback loops to sharpen the search. The firm has successfully filled roles such as Bereichsleiter Kabelkonfektionierung, Geschaeftsfuehrer (including an overseas mandate in the USA), Vertriebsleiter, Vertriebsingenieur for CNC machine tools, and technical sales positions, with time-to-hire ranging from two to ten months and client testimonials from companies such as Aufzugbau Dresden GmbH and Feingeratebau K.
