Adpenso By Astrid Döhmann

ADPENSO by Astrid Döhmann is an executive search and strategic talent advisory firm founded in 2006, led by Astrid Döhmann. The company specialises in direct executive recruitment and talent advisory services, focusing on placing senior sales professionals, AI specialists and IT leadership roles. Rather than relying on database fishing or posting-and-hoping, ADPENSO takes a direct approach, identifying and engaging candidates who genuinely fit both professionally and personally. The firm works with founders, CEOs and Chief Revenue Officers who require precision hiring and cannot afford missteps in critical team-building decisions.

ADPENSO's core recruitment specialisations centre on SaaS, AI and tech companies at various growth stages. The company places roles ranging from Account Executives through to VP Sales and Head of Sales positions, alongside AI and machine learning specialists, IT and engineering professionals, and senior leadership up to C-level. The firm also supports scale-ups entering new markets, startups building their first sales organisations, and international companies establishing operations in Germany. Beyond traditional recruitment, ADPENSO offers strategic talent advisory, scale-up recruiting support, and career consulting services tailored to ambitious professionals seeking their next meaningful move.

Operating from Palma de Mallorca, ADPENSO serves the DACH region, Netherlands, United Kingdom and broader Europe. The company distinguishes itself through a relationship-driven approach built over 15 years of experience, with clients consistently praising Astrid's field expertise, empathy and ability to propose only the right candidates rather than high volumes. ADPENSO maintains confidentiality and discretion throughout all engagements, working directly with hiring managers and candidates to ensure genuine alignment and successful placements that create lasting professional partnerships.
