Sh Sustainable Hires

SH Sustainable Hires is a German recruitment consultancy founded by Katharina Wegera and James Casey, focusing on sustainable recruitment practices. Katharina brings experience since 2007 in corporate and personnel consulting, having supported numerous clients across all sectors and company sizes. James, a British specialist in Executive Recruitment since 2014 with extensive knowledge of HR and Finance recruitment strategies across the British and DACH markets, co-leads the firm. The company was founded on the belief that traditional personnel procurement methods often lack sustainability at the human level.

SH Sustainable Hires specialises in recruiting qualified specialists and management professionals with approximately five years of experience through to C-Suite positions. The firm focuses on HR functions including Personnel Management, HR Business Partners, Talent Management, Compensation and Benefits, HR Services, and Payroll, alongside roles in Finance, Legal, and Marketing depending on the position. The company works across all industries, though carefully evaluates the transferability of skills for each mandate.

The firm operates across Germany and the DACH region, emphasising values-based recruitment that matches candidates to company culture and objectives. Depending on the position sought, the company typically presents candidate profiles within 48 hours to 20 business days. Candidates for positions with limited market availability often require longer search periods. The company believes that human sustainability in the recruitment process increases long-term employee satisfaction and wellbeing, directly supporting both business success and workforce retention.
