Active Sourcing - hearts and brains

Active sourcing - targeted search for suitable candidate profiles

“Profile Matching” is a new service that we offer. We often have exciting candidates in our network, some of whom are directly available, but who do not currently suit our current mandates.

With “Profile Matching”, we offer an uncomplicated and cost-effective active sourcing platform for our focus areas. The candidates all come from our network, are currently available and can be contacted directly. And this is how it works:

Step 1

If you are interested in one of the profiles, you can send us an email directly from the profile.

Step 2

We contact our candidates and check whether they are also interested.

Step 3

If the answer is yes, we will “connect” you and from then on you can start talking and interviewing directly.

Step 4

If there is a match, the position can be filled very quickly without you having to start a time-consuming and demanding recruitment process.

Step 5

Particularly exciting: candidates marked “quickly available” can start immediately or have a one-month notice period.

Of course you can also request multiple profiles without any cost risk. More information can also be found in our FAQ.

Feel free to schedule a short call – we’re happy to share more about our Active Sourcing platform and explore how it could support your current hiring efforts.
