Dr Krüger & Cie

Dr. Krüger und Cie. is a consultancy specialising in Executive Direct Search, and it describes itself as one of the leading firms in that discipline in Germany. The practice is headhunting for the first and second leadership levels, carried out directly in a client's own competitive environment, which the firm sums up as a different kind of recruitment. Its headquarters are in North Rhine-Westphalia and it works across Europe. Alongside search the firm offers outplacement, and its website sets out its quality principles, its fee model, its competence and what it calls its passion, along with a dedicated Ident und Research Center that supports the identification work behind each mandate.

The firm organises its offer around Excellence, a Branchenfokus and Global Executive Search, so that sector focus and international reach sit alongside the direct approach method. The Ident und Research Center is presented as the engine of the search: identification and research capability held in house rather than bought in. Published Qualitätsgrundsätze and a stated approach to the Honorar make the commercial terms explicit before an assignment begins, and the outplacement service extends the same senior level focus to executives leaving an organisation.

Dr. Krüger und Cie. operates from two addresses, Humboldtstrasse in 58511 Lüdenscheid, which handles enquiries at [email protected], and Wittekindstrasse in 50937 Cologne, which is reachable at [email protected], with a central telephone line on +49-2358-9079779. The office is open Monday to Thursday from 9:00 to 18:00 and on Friday from 9:00 to 16:00. The website is published in German, English and French, matching the Europe wide remit, and the firm reports a following of 6,850 on its social channels. Clients are offered classic headhunting delivered from a German base with a European reach, and candidates and companies alike are pointed to the same contact page and Google Maps links for the two offices.
