Jonnect

Jonnect is a recruitment and career consultancy led by Dr Peter Fiala, who is described on the site as an entrepreneur for leadership success and career. The company's proposition to employers is direct: it helps them bring the best people in their industry into the team, specifically in the situation where a business is not receiving suitable applications through its normal channels. That work is set out as a defined method, presented as finding and selecting the right employees in seven steps, so that a hiring company is guided through a repeatable process rather than left with a single shortlist. Alongside the recruitment work, Jonnect runs an academy section.

The consultancy works with candidates as well as employers, and the offer to them is framed around making the right career move rather than simply changing job, one where everything fits from development opportunities through to the team and the managers. It is aimed at people who are competent and committed, want more scope to shape their work, and want the recognition they are due. Jonnect supports them by using its own contacts and by making confidential and serious introductions to the hiring decision makers who are filling suitable positions, through a dedicated Karriereschritt route on its site where applications can be sent in confidence. It also publishes a framework called Die 8 Karrierefaktoren.

The published candidate testimonials show what that support looks like in practice. One operations manager recalls being sceptical when Jonnect first called about a job and now leads a team of seventeen people with further responsibilities coming, describing it as exactly the right moment. A marketing assistant, whose original match did not work out, says the consultancy's ideas and support still helped her reorient professionally, apply properly and find a role she is very happy in. A technical sales professional reports that his new position is exactly what he was looking for and has been improving month after month.
