Heinrich Personalberatung

HEINRICH PersonalBERATUNG is a German recruitment agency founded in 2019 by Thomas Heinrich, specialising in Direct Search for executive and C-level positions. The company uses a structured approach to identify candidates in the hidden job market, focusing on discrete, confidential placements for management-level roles. With 35 years of operational experience in marketing, management, and international markets, Heinrich combines industry knowledge with direct executive access.

The agency specialises in identifying candidates who do not actively seek employment through traditional channels. HEINRICH applies a five-stage process: target definition, market and target-company analysis, candidate identification, discreet engagement, and qualification at eye level. This methodology distinguishes the agency from classical recruitment logic, particularly for complex roles requiring market-specific expertise.

HEINRICH operates across Europe with a strong focus on German-speaking markets. The agency offers a success-based fee model where the final payment is contingent on the hired employee remaining in post beyond their probation period. The company emphasises employer branding and cultural fit alongside technical competency, viewing successful placement as the beginning rather than the end of the engagement.
