WEISSENSTEINER HR Solutions

WEISSENSTEINER HR Solutions is a recruitment consultancy specialising in engineering in Vienna and Lower Austria. It places technical specialists and managers at team, group and department head level, using personal placement and what it calls inverse headhunting. It says it has more than 25 years of experience in technical recruitment consulting and an established engineering network in the region.

Its focus areas are mechanical, plant and process engineering, covering industrial and pharmaceutical plant construction, special machinery, petrochemicals and vehicle and rail vehicle technology. It also recruits in electrical engineering, electronics and automation, including energy supply, and in building services (HVAC and technical building equipment).

Companies can commission a search for a specific position, or receive candidate introductions drawn from its inverse headhunting, where a person is first presented anonymously. The company says it approaches specialists who are usually not actively looking for a job. Candidates describe what they can do and want, and the consultant checks which companies and departments in the network might suit them.
