What a search looks like
An international headquarters usually needs someone who already runs a line, a toolshop, a shift or a plant in Germany. Those people rarely browse job boards. They take a call from someone who knows the process.
We start with the role and the site, not with a generic talent pool. The reachable market around that plant decides how we search. A plastics process lead in the Münsterland is a different map from a logistics lead in Hamburg.
After the call we check skill, motive, notice period and whether the person would actually move. You do not get CVs pulled from a database and left unexplained.
Executive search in German manufacturing
PolyTALENT runs executive search for technical managing directors, plant leaders and department heads in German manufacturing. Consultants phone people already in those jobs and send only pre-qualified profiles.
What happens in a mandate
1
Kickoff
Target profile, site, salary band and decision-makers. We say early if the market is too thin.
2
Research
The PolyTALENT Matching technology scans internal and external sources and ranks likely matches. Consultants decide whom to call.
3
Direct approach
Phone first. We speak to people in permanent jobs, not only to active applicants.
4
Handover
A short, honest profile: why this person, what they want, where it might break. Only profiles a consultant has already spoken to.
