Thanks to its many years of expertise in direct approach, its distinctive methodological competence, and proven diagnostic tools, DELTACON Executive Search presents only top candidates. DELTACON stands for industry expertise, the highest quality, reliability, and extensive guarantees.

We have received multiple awards as Germany’s best personnel consultancy in the field of executive search for these services.

The Nuremberg metropolitan region, including Erlangen and Fürth, is a national leader in industrial electronics, the automotive sector, and off-highway applications. Internationally active companies from various industrial sectors and mechatronics have large sites here; at the same time, numerous medium-sized hidden champions characterize the region. An international airport, excellent train and motorway connections, and a vibrant university landscape in the engineering and humanities make the region a preferred location in the heart of Europe.
The Nuremberg metropolitan region is also an attractive location for candidates. From Nuremberg bratwurst, the Fränkische Schweiz leisure and climbing paradise, water sports opportunities in the Franconian Lake District to art and culture in the opera, theater, and museums, the region offers a high quality of life. In addition, the real estate market is comparatively moderate in terms of price.

Our clients are primarily active in the traditional supplier industry in the automotive, off-highway, and industrial sectors, with products such as engines, electronics, interiors, and other components and systems. High-tech for high performance – we also live by this motto when serving our customers. Only through professional and sustained effort are we able to deliver excellent services and attract the best high potentials for our clients.

Frequently asked questions about Executive Search in Nuremberg

How should I respond when a headhunter calls?

First and foremost: don’t panic! Good recruitment consultants have no interest in putting you in an uncomfortable situation. The initial interview will usually be very brief: an introduction, a description of the position, and a question about whether you are available for further interviews at a convenient time. Use the interview to gather important information about your professional situation, and who knows: maybe your dream job is waiting for you.

How long do headhunters need to fill a position?

From the kick-off meeting to the presentation of candidates, you can expect the process to take 6-8 weeks. After that, the process times can vary significantly depending on the availability of candidates and internal interview partners, and of course on the number of interviews planned. It is important to keep this phase as short as possible to prevent candidates from dropping out. Depending on the candidates’ notice period, it can take between one and nine additional months until their first day of work.

Does DELTACON in Nuremberg offer specialized personnel consulting for the automotive and industrial sectors?

DELTACON’s Nuremberg office is currently managed directly by Frank Bühl. The focus is on filling demanding specialist and management positions in the automotive, industrial, and off-highway sectors – particularly at the interfaces between technology, operations, and management. The consulting services are not based on standardized processes or anonymous research units, but on personal direct contact, in-depth market understanding, and many years of experience in industrial value chains. Especially in tight candidate markets, it is not quantity but quality that counts. Highly qualified candidates expect an interviewer who can accurately assess their industry, their role, and their career options. The initial contact is therefore not about “selling” a position, but about engaging in an informed dialogue on equal terms: about the organization, its technological orientation, its leadership culture, and the real challenges of the role. This form of consulting builds trust – and is a prerequisite for even those high performers who are latently open to change to engage in a structured selection process.

Why does a headhunter ask about salary?

An important criterion in the selection of applicants is the candidate’s salary. A position is normally assigned a salary or salary range. In order to clarify the alignment of the candidates’ expectations with those of the company at an early stage of the recruitment process, this question is asked at the beginning of the interviews. This also serves to avoid wasting the candidates’ time – because if a significant discrepancy is only discovered later in the process, everyone involved will already have invested a lot of time. The question about current and target salary also serves to test the candidates’ knowledge of the market; salary increases that are too large or too small raise doubts.
