Pako Consulting

PaKo Consulting is a specialised recruitment agency based in Düsseldorf that focuses on direct placement of specialist and management professionals in sales roles throughout Germany. Founded by Patrick Kockelmann, the company operates with a clear conviction that sales is not merely a job but a passion, requiring more than technical expertise or professional experience. PaKo Consulting distinguishes itself through targeted direct candidate engagement, strategic headhunting for senior positions, and comprehensive recruitment process outsourcing, delivering pre-qualified candidates within an average of 10 to 14 days and maintaining a 95 per cent retention rate beyond probation periods.

The agency specialises exclusively in sales recruitment across multiple segments, including technical sales specialists for complex, explanation-dependent products, sales management and leadership positions, and general sales specialists in external sales, key account management, and sales support roles. PaKo Consulting's approach combines deep industry knowledge with a refined understanding of candidate suitability, ensuring both technical competence and cultural fit. The team conducts thorough personal interviews and detailed assessments before presenting candidates to clients, rejecting the practice of mass CV distribution in favour of clear, individualised recommendations.

Operating nationwide across Germany from its Düsseldorf headquarters, PaKo Consulting serves mid-market and larger organisations seeking reliable, transparent recruitment partnerships. The agency's success is built on a structured, client-focused process that emphasises accountability, trust, and long-term placements rather than quick transactions. With over 75 per cent of positions filled within two months and a commitment to transparent terms from the outset, PaKo Consulting has earned recognition as a top-rated recruitment specialist in sales, supported by membership in the Bundesverband der Vertriebsmanager and the Bundesverband Der Mittelstand.
