I help tech companies in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland hire engineers who can actually do the job — not just interview well. As co-founder of a Munich-based HR-tech startup, I've built a structured, skill-based vetting process from the ground up — combining Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter sourcing, and competency-based screening frameworks to find talent that performs. To date: 500+ engineers assessed, 15+ placements across DACH, and a consistent track record of cutting time-to-hire for early and growth-stage startups. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Frontend · Backend · Fullstack · Mobile App · CMS · SAP · DevOps · Cloud Engineer · Data Scientist · ML Engineer · QA Engineer · UI/UX Designer ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗱𝗼 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▸ End-to-end talent acquisition — from intake and headhunting to structured assessment and signed offer ▸ Role scoping with founders and CTOs to define what "good" looks like before sourcing starts ▸ Boolean search and LinkedIn Recruiter sourcing across DACH and international talent pools — particularly strong nearshore networks in North Africa ▸ ATS setup and hiring process design for startups without a dedicated HR function ▸ Employer of record (EOR) services for companies hiring international engineers without a local entity ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▸ 500+ engineers assessed across frontend, backend, fullstack, AI/ML, DevOps, and cloud profiles ▸ 15+ successful placements with DACH startups and scale-ups ▸ Built KothonTech's nearshore talent pipeline from zero — covering Tunisian, German, and broader European engineering markets ▸ Secured €100K EXIST-Gründerstipendium — through a competitive federal selection process ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Early and growth-stage tech companies that are done wasting time on unqualified candidates and want a repeatable IT recruiting process that scales.

I'll respond same day with whether I'm the right fit and what the process would look like.
