Rely on professional personnel consulting
Personnel consulting vs. personnel placement - what is the difference?
Personnel consulting goes far beyond the mere placement of potential applicants. We do not see ourselves as "brokers of resumes", but provide comprehensive advice and support in personnel selection. Our service starts with the search for executives and specialists and extends to support in contract negotiations and professional onboarding.
Executive Search – the brightest minds for your company
To master challenging times, you need one thing above all: qualified specialists and executives. Specialists who see digitization as an opportunity and find solutions to the problems of tomorrow. This challenge is what drives us: We support you in filling key positions permanently. To do this, we rely on direct approach and directly target experienced executives and suitable candidates.
Our procedure
Strategic analyis
What distinguishes your company and what competencies do you need? We get to the bottom of your needs and create a custom-fit job profile.
Effective recruiting
Direct approach and active sourcing are our strengths. In addition, we use the variety of modern recruiting channels: Online and print media, social media and our in-house job board.
Confident selection
Nothing is left to chance: We check all documents carefully and get to the bottom of candidates during detailed interviews – in person, on the phone or via video call. Upon request, we obtain further references about the applicants.
Reliable in concluding contracts
Once you have found your ideal candidate, we continue to support your company. We provide support during contract negotiations and onboarding in the new job.
Additional services
Outplacement
Sometimes a dismissal cannot be avoided. Even then, as experienced personnel consultants, we keep a cool head and stand by your side throughout the entire process. We train managers to conduct termination interviews in a confident and respectful manner. In addition, we support affected employees in finding a new job. This way, you can protect your image as an employer and avoid negative effects on your working atmosphere.
Advertising service
We design and formulate the right job advertisement for you and deliver it to potential candidates – be it on common job boards or in the local newspaper. You can use our advertising service for all online and print media throughout Germany and abroad. In doing so, you benefit from the contacts we have with online job boards and publishers.
Mailbox service
Discretion is the cornerstone of our work. Your search for new executives and specialists is not always supposed to make the rounds. Therefore, you can use our name and address to advertise open positions covertly. Thanks to the mailbox function, all documents end up directly at our company locations in Wackersdorf, Regensburg and Amberg. Your name and company address remain completely anonymous.
Suitability diagnostics
Particularly in the case of managers, it is not only technical know-how that is decisive, but also personality. Those who want to lead teams to success need strong values, empathy and communication skills. If required, we therefore resort to personality-centered interviews, assessment centers or psychological aptitude tests. Scientifically validated data as well as our decades of experience in executive search help you make the right decision for your company.

Can I search anonymously for managers, specialists and experts?
Günter Stahl GmbH attaches great importance to discretion and seriousness. In the first step, we disclose rough key data of your company, such as region and industry. This confidentiality can be maintained until an interview and possibly beyond. Thus, only a narrow circle of applicants learns who our client is.
Where does Günter Stahl GmbH get the data for its applicant pool?
More than 30 years of expertise and name recognition means that we are a permanent fixture for people willing to change jobs. In addition, employees in employment know that their desire for change will be treated with absolute discretion by us. This makes us a trustworthy contact point for unsolicited applicants.
In our search assignments usually one person is hired. The remaining applicants wish to remain in contact with us and benefit from subsequent assignments.
We keep our extensive pool of executives, specialists and experts up to date at all times: new ones are constantly being added and we purge the database of applicants who have been hired by our clients or for reasons of data protection.
Why are job offers on job portals not enough?
A large proportion of employees are open to talking about a career change, but they are not actively looking for a new job. That’s why we only reach a smaller share of the job market with ads.
Most of the time, it boils down to “active sourcing” where we approach qualified people directly and check their suitability in personal interviews. Behind this important part and success factor of our work lies a great deal of professionalism, seriousness and healthy persistence. At the end of the day, we are talking about several hundred direct approaches, which we carry out until they are successful.
Which employees does Günter Stahl GmbH find?
We specialize in executives and professionals, i.e. charismatic team leads and specialists with professional experience in their field:
- We have proven numerous times that we fill the executive level up to the management with tact and level.
- The same goes for specialists with uncommon expert knowledge.
- We start at the senior clerk or foreman level, but industrial employees are not part of our spectrum.
What distinguishes Günter Stahl GmbH from a headhunter?
The mere approach of suitable persons for a vacant position is sometimes referred to as “headhunting”. However, this is only a part of the services we provide as a personnel and management consultancy.
We analyze your needs, advise on the right suitability and the possibilities offered by the labor market.
As an external service provider we have a neutral position towards all parties involved. This includes additional possibilities and potentials than if you search for the position yourself.
We also support you after a position has been filled, e.g. in forward-looking planning and the further development of your valuable team of employees.
How is it decided which candidate is shortlisted?
We analyze in detail your requirements and the prerequisites of the target group you are looking for: the tasks, industry, history and philosophy of your company flow into our evaluation just as much as the qualifications, needs, personality and salary expectations of the applicants.
This results in a matching process that highlights discrepancies and matches, which flows into an A-B-C analysis of the available applicants. Based on a shortlist of suitable applicants, we make recommendations for the further selection process.
How long does it take Günter Stahl GmbH to fill a position?
We cannot give a concrete answer to this question because filling a position is an individual challenge. In addition, there is the human factor of our work. We cannot see into the heads of our applicants. It may happen that an ideal applicant changes their mind at a late stage of a complex selection process. In this case, we need to reiterate the recruitment process – and that takes time.
But we can reassure you: Günter Stahl GmbH will keep searching until we find the ideal candidate. We focus on creating a win-win situation for both sides. Only then are the prerequisites fulfilled for a successful cooperation that will last several years.
How much does it cost to fill a position?
Our fee is based on the time and effort involved in the recruitment process. At the beginning of the cooperation, a transparent written contract is mutually signed between the commissioning company and us. This includes that partial payments of the fee for our service are due.
As a consulting company that supports you in the recruitment process from the first inquiry to the successful completion of the probationary period, you pay for the recruitment process with the result of hiring the right employee.
We stand for the fact that you have the right employee in your company in the medium and long term. For this reason, we offer a probationary period guarantee and will fill the position if something happens in the meantime.
Who can hire Günter Stahl GmbH?
We work exclusively on behalf of companies. From this side our service is paid. Applicants cannot commission us.
However, applicants benefit from our internal company knowledge. Before positions become public, we are often already aware that a position needs to be filled. Feel free to contact us and send us your unsolicited application. This creates valuable connections and opportunities – take advantage of them!
