Direct targeting & competitive approach
Top talents in your industry – precisely activated by the competition in your region, across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
What we mean by discreet direct contact
For Kontrast Headhunter Hamburg, direct contact means precisely identifying ideal candidates among competitors and comparable companies in your industry, prioritizing regional proximity, and simultaneously securing DACH reach. It all begins with a clear set of roles and success criteria: What results should be visible in the first 12–18 months, what framework conditions, and what culture? Based on this, we build a target company profile and a no-go profile, develop a clear value proposition for prospective candidates, and clarify restricted areas and compliance requirements. This ensures that every approach is technically accurate, culturally appropriate, and legally sound.
Approach: personal, structured, GDPR-compliant
Activation takes place in multiple stages and is always discreet and personal – by phone, through business networks, and by email – always discreet, respectful, and GDPR-compliant. Our psychologically sound interview provides reliable information on suitability, motivation, and fit; this results in condensed, short profiles and a shortlist that's more than just a stack of resumes. At the same time, we reflect market feedback on salaries, barriers to change, and deal levers, and adjust the search strategy together. Transparent interim results, clear recommendations, and a well-maintained talent funnel ensure that interested contacts become viable options.
From offer to onboarding – and the contrast difference
Once the best fit is identified, we moderate the offer phase, balance expectations, and clarify risks – with speed, confidentiality, and a focus on the shared future. In the public sector, we ensure compliance with the best selection criteria (Art. 33 II GG, AGG, GDPR) and support committee communication. After the contract is signed, we support the transition: role clarification, stakeholder planning, and quick wins – to ensure a successful start and impact. What sets us apart: permanent headhunters with a sector focus and A&O diagnostics, ISO 9001:2015 quality standards, strong candidate pools, and reliable communication with decision-makers and committees. The result: direct contact that not only reaches but convinces – and ideal candidates who stay.
