Venture Minds Search & Career Advisory

Venture Minds is a boutique executive search and career advisory company founded by Julia Mandl, a seasoned recruitment professional with over 12 years of experience in executive search, including tenure at Russell Reynolds in Hamburg. The company specialises in finding courageous and brilliant individuals who challenge the status quo and drive meaningful progress within organisations. Venture Minds combines deep expertise in candidate assessment with a commitment to integrity, offering classical executive search, precise talent market mapping, and strategic LinkedIn recruitment solutions tailored to clients seeking transformative leaders rather than conventional fits.

The company's service portfolio extends beyond traditional recruitment into career coaching and neurodiversity-focused talent acquisition. Venture Minds provides career coaching that helps professionals optimise their LinkedIn profiles, craft compelling CVs, and strategically position themselves in the current job market, whilst also offering systemic business coaching for significant career transitions. Through its NeuroPoint initiative, the company identifies neurodivergent talent and prepares organisations to embrace neurodiversity as a competitive advantage, operating an AI-supported job platform primarily focused on technology roles. This multifaceted approach reflects the company's belief that diversity and alternative thinking are fundamental drivers of innovation.

Based in Perchtoldsdorf on the outskirts of Vienna, Venture Minds serves clients across Austria and Germany, drawing on the international experience of its team members who have worked across seven countries including France, Colombia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Finland, and Thailand. The company's competitive edge lies in its ability to recognise patterns in careers and personalities, combined with a genuine commitment to building diverse, high-impact teams that deliver sustainable results for clients seeking more than conventional recruitment solutions.
