A & A Dr Allmann Personalberatung

A&A Dr. Allmann Personalberatung is a boutique headhunting firm operating since 2003 emphasising success-based fee structures. The company has built itself around two senior headhunters, each with over 30 years of combined management and personnel consulting experience. Dr. Joachim Allmann has focused since 1989 on Industrial specialisation including machinery and plant engineering, Automotive and Zulieferer (suppliers) and Chemicals. Jürgen Seelig brings management experience since 1986 and headhunting since 2008 across Consumer Goods/FMCG including Retail, Pharmaceuticals and Medical Technology.

The firm emphasises that successful direct candidate outreach requires deep, sector-specific networks built over decades. They employ systematic candidate research for each project, completing their established networks with targeted research from specific goal companies and professional networks including Xing and LinkedIn. Rather than maintaining broad internal candidate block-lists common at larger firms, they have intentionally structured their two-consultant model to avoid mutual blocking.

A&A Dr. Allmann charges success-based fees of 15-20 percent of candidate annual salary, significantly below market average of 26 percent. They emphasise that with high placement rates since 2003, combined with specialised sector expertise, unlimited candidate search fields and below-market pricing structure, the company offers unique value proposition for employers seeking senior talent in Industrial, Automotive, Pharmaceutical and related sectors.
