Your advantages with us
Industry expertise
Each personnel consultant at DELTACON is responsible for a cross-regional industry competence center. The respective DELTACON partner has many years of successful experience in management positions in these industries. We know your markets, your customers, your competitors, and the specific requirements of your environment very well and can therefore provide you with optimal advice.
Direct Search
Passive candidate search through ads has been increasingly unsuccessful for years. The interesting candidates must be actively identified, and purposefully approached to inspire them to change. Therefore, every recruitment effort is newly set up as direct search project: Target company list, identification, first contact, interviews – that’s how we find the best candidates.
Guarantee
All accepted contracts are fulfilled: Over 90 % within the agreed time of 6-8 weeks – for the remaining almost 10 % applies: we are looking for until the position is filled! Active departures of our recruited candidates within the probationary period are infrequent. It is then quite clear that we repeat the search once without requesting another fee. Of course, the employees of our clients are protected with our don’t-touch guarantee!
Methodological competence
We use our “PURE” diagnostic concept for the perfect profile job match. The result is the degree of correspondence between the candidate profile of our clients and the profiles of the candidates. We intensively examine the candidates’ documents and use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools: Psychometric Profiling and cultural due diligence, complemented by personally collected references using a professional questionnaire. The focus of the candidate evaluation is on leadership and management skills, value systems, and operational as well as strategic excellence.
Performance-based remuneration
Our fee is two-thirds success-based! When commissioned by our clients, we charge a deposit, which initiates the search. A second installment is only due when we present the audited and most suitable candidates in the shortlist. The last installment is due after an employment contract is signed.
