Hand-selected German talent

 International companies who are looking to hire in Germany – or to place German professionals abroad – face a specific challenge: A market that requires deep local knowledge and personal relationships.

That is exactly where we come in.

Since 2008, Behrens Personal Consulting has been finding the right people for the right positions – for German subsidiaries of international companies as well as for global coporates seeking candidates who are willing to relocate permanently.

How we work

We do not only run database searches. We identify the top talent in the market through direct, personal outreach and meet suitable candidates face-to-face.

Our assessment covers professional qualification, motivation, geographic mobility and cultural fit. Only candidates who meet all criteria move forward.

The result: Our clients receive a small number of hand-selected candidates. The focus of the client’s time is therefore on making a decision, not on managing a process.

Our market reach

We recruit across a wide range of industries: Automotive, chemicals, construction & architecture, consumer goods, financial services, food, high-tech & defense, intralogistics, mechanical & plant engineering, steel.

Executive roles and specialist positions – we recruit for both and with the same high standards.

Who you work with

'Face to the customer' at every assignment is Ann-Christin Behrens, supported by a dedicated project team. After studying business administration in Germany and France, she built her career across German politics, the finance sector and international executive search before founding her own business in 2008.

Client communication is available in German, English and French. We know our clients personally – and we travel wherever the assignment requires.

Why clients stay

  • A success guarantee for every search, specified in the contract
  • Only hand-selected candidates, professionally competent and personally compelling
  • A six-month-quality guarantee for every placement
  • Long-term client relationships that extend far beyond the completion of the project
  • A single point of contact. Always.
