Has the coronavirus had an impact on business as a recruitment consultant?
Yes, absolutely. The crisis is highlighting the weaknesses in our clients’ business models and the resulting staffing requirements. These needs must be met. However, turbulent times also show just how important it is to constantly reinvent oneself – otherwise, one’s own business model will not be sustainable either.
What can HR Consult Group AG expect?
These are the qualities we are looking for: Sales is our top priority – this is your great passion. You also have a strong network, a sound understanding of your chosen centre of expertise, leadership potential and the ambition to set up your own business.
Does a highly specialised recruitment consultancy – as a people business – still have a future in the digital age?
As long as there are people, there will always be „people business“. The digital future will be shaped by the right employees. These employees need to be found. An understanding of the company’s and the industry’s DNA helps in finding the right people.
