The founder and managing director of Personal Total GmbH, and the resulting umbrella brand HR Consult Group AG, is considered one of the great constants in the German HR consulting industry. From the very beginning, he has fostered the HR consultant community and is one of our leading mentors.

Thus, he was already intimately familiar with the processes, framework, and people involved. At the same time, his focus is on building networks and cooperation models, as well as the continuous development of systems and processes in HR consulting.

Does Corona have an impact on the business of HR consultants?
Yes, absolutely. The crisis has exposed the weaknesses in our clients' business models and the resulting personnel needs. These must be met. However, turbulent times also demonstrate how important it is to constantly reinvent oneself – otherwise, one's own business model will not be viable.

These are the qualities we're looking for: Sales is your first priority—it's your passion. You also have a strong network, a solid understanding of your chosen competence center, leadership potential, and the ambition to become self-employed.
Does a highly specialised personnel consultancy – as a people business – still have opportunities in the digital future?
As long as there are people, there will be a "people business." The digital future will be shaped by suitable employees. These employees must be found. Understanding the DNA of the company and the industry will help in finding the right employees.
