Why Hire Local Talent in Germany?
Building Trust
Over 70% of German companies prefer to work with businesses that have a localised presence. A local team builds credibility, removes language barriers, and shows long-term commitment to the market.
Growing Revenue
Hiring professionals with local knowledge allows you to tap into established networks, navigate complex buying processes, and spot new opportunities ahead of your competitors.
Retaining Relationships
With in-country support and service engineers, you can respond quickly to issues, build trust through aftercare, and create strong customer relationships that drive repeat business.
Our Recruitment Models
We offer three flexible recruitment models to suit how your business prefers to work. Our Retained Search gives you a focused, priority-led approach for business-critical roles. Retingency gives you access to some of the benefits of retained without upfront fees, giving you quality with no financial risk. And our Ready-to-Go Talent Acquisition Team is a 6-week dedicated project service, where we work solely on your vacancies. However you prefer to partner, we adapt the model around your needs, not the other way around.
Retingency Recruitment
- Consultative and collaborative approach
- Proactive sourcing of active and passive candidates
- Market mapping and headhunting services
- Dedicated account manager

This is a flexible, non-committal way to work with us. It combines the consultative approach and headhunting of a retained partnership, but with the pay-on-success model of contingency recruitment, meaning you only pay when a placement has been made.
Ideal for employers who want to fill a role, but aren’t ready to commit to a full retained partnership. Whilst this does not include some of the added features and benefits of our other recruitment models, it still provides you with access to our expertise, extensive network and tailored approach.
Retained Recruitment
Everything in our Retingency Model, plus:
- Candidate Behavioural Assessments for final-stage candidates
- Salary Benchmarking
- Discounts on recruitment fees applied
- Personally led by our Recruitment Director, who has over 24 years of success delivering niche and challenging hiring assignments.

A staged payment model, led by our recruitment director, that secures dedicated support for your role. The total fee is split into three equal instalments, one-third to initiate our services, one-third on CV shortlist, and the final one-third upon offer acceptance. Should the chosen candidate fail to start the final one-third would be refunded.
Ready-to-go Talent Acquisition Team
Everything in our Retingency Model, plus:
- Candidate Behavioural Assessments for final-stage candidates
- Salary Benchmarking
- Higher discounts on recruitment fees applied
- Personally led by our Recruitment Director, who has over 24 years of success delivering niche and challenging hiring assignments.
- Dedicated recruiter(s) working exclusively and solely on your hiring projects
- Weekly activity reports and progress updates
Read More
We act as an extension of your internal talent acquisition team, supporting you through periods of planned or unexpected recruitment demand.
Our time is booked and paid for in six-week increments, during which we allocate dedicated internal resources, including team members who work solely and exclusively on your hiring needs.
Recruitment fees are paid in addition on any successful hires; however these are heavily discounted compared with our standard terms, and you’ll receive detailed weekly activity reports showing the number of CVs reviewed, candidates contacted, interviewed, and submitted. This partnership can be extended, allowing us to continue covering multiple roles in line with your priorities.
Ideal for businesses in periods of high growth, but without the time or budget to increase their own internal hiring team.

How we approach addresses recruitment challenges:
Upfront Costs
We offer three flexible recruitment models to suit how your business prefers to work. Our Retained Search gives you a focused, priority-led approach for business-critical roles. Retingency gives you access to some of the benefits of retained without upfront fees, giving you quality with no financial risk. And our Ready-to-Go Talent Acquisition Team is a 6-week dedicated project service, where we work solely on your vacancies. However you prefer to partner, we adapt the model around your needs, not the other way around.
Lack of Candidate Insights
Relying on gut instinct alone can increase the risk of a mis-hire. That’s why our Retained Search and Ready-to-Go Talent Acquisition Team models include behavioural assessments at no additional cost. These insights give you a deeper understanding of each candidate’s natural behaviours, helping you make confident, data-led hiring decisions.
Continuity
We understand the frustration of inconsistent service levels from recruiters, especially from those operating a contingency model. We work with you as a strategic partner, providing a dedicated account manager and resource team. This approach ensures that we understand your unique needs and deliver industry-leading candidates who align with your organisation’s culture and values.
