Ideon Personalberatung

Ideon Personalberatung is a Personalberatung and headhunting firm from Frankfurt that sums up its approach as direct, personal and exclusive. Its headhunters find qualified specialists and executives throughout Germany through targeted candidate approach, and the firm is comfortable being called Personalberater, headhunter or executive search consultant. Searches are conducted exclusively by Ideon's own in-house headhunters on the basis of the client's individual role profile, with research and candidate approach also handled in house, a process the firm describes as part of its recipe for success. Each assignment begins afresh, with new research and defined search criteria drawn from the agreed profile. Clients get a single fixed point of contact while specialised headhunters do the searching, and Ideon takes over the entire Bewerbermanagement on the client's behalf. Its nationwide networks reach talent that is not actively looking, and its stated principle is honesty with realistic assessments, persuading rather than pressuring.

The firm's core competence in headhunting sits in five to six named fields: Bauwesen und Architektur, Human Resources, Vertrieb und Sales, Finance und Accounting, Consulting and IT. Each has its own dedicated headhunter page. Ideon fills roles in the upper salary segment as well as C-level positions, covering both professional headhunting and executive search, and adapts its method to the task, the sector and the client's requirements rather than following a fixed template. A separate practice covers Unternehmensnachfolge, company succession.

The search process runs in five steps: a personal briefing conversation, direct search, selection and shortlisting, interviews with candidates, and continued support after the position has been filled, including aftercare for clients and candidates during the probation period. Kathrin Rasch of the Ideon management is quoted stating that the team lives its principles and values holistically towards clients, candidates, its own staff and its service providers. Sustainable placement is the stated priority, and the firm says it declines assignments that do not fit its service profile.
