Flügge Consulting

Flügge Consulting is a Personalberatung, or executive recruitment consultancy, working with competence and passion in the European consumer goods market. The firm is led by Managing Director Kerstin Flügge, who works with partners to deliver discreet, personal and efficient collaboration built on management and leadership experience. Its stated philosophy puts people at the centre, lives People and Culture, and acts as an advocate for both clients and candidates. The firm specifically emphasises and uses female potential as a decisive success factor and supports clients in implementing their gender diversity goals.

Flügge Consulting offers three connected services. Personalberatung finds experienced leaders for clients facing a growing challenge in recruiting suitable management personalities, in a market where the ongoing Fachkräftemangel makes qualified hires harder to find in highly contested sectors, where succession planning is complicated by the same shortage, and where candidates keep all options open until the last minute and cause unpredictable delays in the hiring process. Umstrukturierung covers analysis, optimisation and restructuring of the client's leadership level and personnel structure, described as a new route to success. Interim Management is offered as a bridge to successful continuity. The firm also provides professional coaching and comprehensive career and succession planning, and it works with mid sized companies that have a small HR department or none at all, where managing directors and other leaders are forced to take on personnel tasks alongside their real work.

The firm is based in Wiesbaden, Germany, and starts with a no obligation first conversation to explore how it can help. Clients describe Kerstin Flügge as committed and persistent until the target is reached, straightforward, authentic and highly capable, and someone who listens well and delivers. Feedback comes from Gerhard Dobrunz of Alldata Europe GmbH, an HR managing director in retail, a long standing client in the lifestyle segment, the HR leadership of a retail client, a client at an Otto Group subsidiary and a Director Marketing at a multichannel company who valued being told the possible sticking points up front. One client notes that, having previously gone straight to the large players, they now prefer Flügge Consulting as a small Personalberatung because the advice is genuine and honest.
