Brunner Management & Consulting is an Austrian Personalberatung built around what it calls ProAktive Personalsuche, a targeted search for suitable staff carried out through Direktansprache rather than advertising. The firm is owned by Mag. Dr. Johannes Brunner and is the Nachfolgerechtsträger of B.I. Personal- & Managementberatungs GmbH. It works as a team of partners, recruiters, assistants and information providers, and states that first assignments usually come to it when every other form of search has failed, so that it acts as a genuine trouble shooter. Its fee model is built on Kostentransparenz: a low base and presentation fee, with 65 per cent of the cost dependent on success, and no insertion or incidental costs. Alongside search, Brunner offers Mentoring, described as the route of the practitioner, to help clients advance.

The firm concentrates on positions in Technik, Vertrieb and Management, where it says the ProAktive approach has more than proven itself under difficult labour market conditions, and it uses the same method to fill roles at middle management level. It publishes current projects and job advertisements, including a Geschäftsführer (m/w/d) mandate. Its stated strengths are Direktansprache, Querdenken, many years of experience, attention to regional and situational circumstances, clarity on costs, sector knowledge and a large network. Because desired candidates do not apply on their own, the consultants approach them directly and check that each candidate fits the client company personally and geographically as well as on the requirement profile and the framework conditions.

Brunner Management & Consulting is based at Durisolstrasse 7 / Top 6 in 4600 Wels, and its team is spread across Wels and Vienna. Enquiries reach the firm on +43 676 322 62 97 or +43 7242 900 15 00 and at [email protected]. Clients choose the firm for the professionalism it puts in the foreground, for the low financial risk of its success weighted fee, and for the experience of Johannes Brunner, a headhunter since 2005 who previously worked as a managing director, finance director, strategy adviser and university lecturer in employment and social law. Partner Isolde Graf, PMM, adds long experience in banking and qualified as a mediator and conflict manager at the Johannes Kepler University Linz.
