Talenteschmied Müllner

Talenteschmied Müllner is a recruitment business founded and owned by Christoph Müllner. It specialises in direct approach, contacting candidates who are not applying for jobs, and works mainly with mid-sized companies. Its projects date from 2016, and it says it has more than nine years of experience.

It recruits in IT and telecoms, manufacturing, industrial automation, automotive, FMCG, finance and services, and renewable energy. By its own breakdown, 28 per cent of its work is in IT and digital roles, 27 per cent in sales roles and 24 per cent in technical and service roles, with the rest in finance, operations and management functions.

Clients can choose from three packages: a search based entirely on direct approach without job adverts, a service that handles advertising, multiposting and applicant screening, and a combination of both. It charges a fixed fee paid in instalments along defined milestones and says it deliberately does not work on a pure success basis.
