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.

Jobrecruiting

Jobrecruiting is a boutique German search and recruitment practice led by Dr.-Ing. Volker Helbig that focuses on the placement of sales professionals and leaders across all levels and industries, with a particularly strong track record in Mittelstand manufacturing, engineering, and technology-driven environments. Operating with a nationwide network of contacts, the firm concentrates on executive and management search as well as specialist sales recruitment, and complements these core services with project-based mandates supporting company succession, including the structured identification and vetting of suitable buyers such as established entrepreneurs and investors in close cooperation with a network of lawyers, auditors, and tax advisors. Jobrecruiting works to clearly defined, market-aligned fees of 25 to 35 percent of gross annual salary including agreed bonuses, with payment typically split between project initiation and the signing of the employment contract, and it does not require exclusivity, choosing instead to compete transparently in the open market. For candidates listed as frei verfuegbare Fachkraefte, the firm offers a simplified fee model of one monthly salary for BVMW members or two monthly salaries otherwise. Its methodology begins with a detailed role briefing to refine requirements, followed by targeted research across an internal candidate pool, direct outreach to network contacts, personal referrals, and a proprietary algorithm used for sourcing via social networks. 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. Fischer GmbH highlighting fast, high-quality shortlists and professional delivery. By combining hands-on expertise in sales and leadership hiring with engineering-savvy searches in precision measurement and electronics, Jobrecruiting provides pragmatic, reliable recruiting solutions for SMEs across Germany.
