Trost Progress

Trost Progress is a family-led Personalberatung (recruitment consulting firm) founded in early 2024 by siblings Vanessa Glasner and Johannes Trost.

They have completed over 150 successful permanent placements by providing executive search and specialist recruitment services to clients seeking to fill gaps in capacity and expertise.

The company specialises in placing permanent experts and executives across industries including electronics, mechanical engineering, energy, financial services, software development, consulting, and related fields. They handle positions spanning executive operations, sales, supply chain, finance, IT/OT, research and development, and human resources. They emphasise precision analytical approaches, direct personal outreach, and comprehensive candidate screening throughout the entire hiring process.
