Heron

Heron GmbH is a Germany based recruitment firm founded in 2020 with headquarters in Duesseldorf and an additional office in Munich. The company specializes in the direct placement of skilled and leadership professionals, with particular depth in Industry and Metal, Refrigeration technology, and Electrical engineering. Rather than relying on external IT vendors, Heron builds its own automation solutions to accelerate market mapping and outreach, enabling the team to present qualified candidates to hundreds of employers within days while maintaining strict GDPR compliance and offering deletion of personal data within 24 hours on request. For candidates, the service is completely free and focused on permanent roles with standard employment contracts. For employers, Heron operates on a success only fee model with transparent pricing and a goodwill safeguard after hiring; if an engagement ends early in the initial weeks, a proportional refund of up to 87.5 percent may apply depending on timing. Dedicated key account management assigns a personal recruiter who learns each client’s requirements and culture, curates shortlists, and coordinates interviews efficiently. The firm recruits across five core domains: refrigeration technicians and mechatronics, metalwork and welding, industrial mechanics, machining and cutting, and electrical and automation specialists, and it also covers adjacent IT, engineering, sales, and marketing roles when needed by industrial clients. Beyond placement, Heron supports employers with process advisory across the recruitment lifecycle, including RPO style services and employer branding to improve funnel quality and time to hire. Typical mandates range from service technicians, industrial electricians, maintenance and automation engineers, and project leaders to foremen, team leads, and department heads. By combining sector knowledge in machinery, metalworking, plant engineering, and building energy systems with data driven sourcing, structured screening, and proactive communication, Heron connects motivated professionals and strong companies reliably and at speed across Germany, reducing vacancy time and helping clients secure long term, high fit talent.
