When a placement is worthwhile for you.

When job advertisements go unanswered, your own HR department lacks the capacity for active search, or a position needs to be filled discreetly, permanent placement is the fastest way to find the right person. Many of our clients do not have their own HR department at all – there, the management or a senior employee handles recruitment on the side. If you calculate the time spent at the hourly rate of these individuals, high costs arise in the end. Typical reasons our clients contact us:

  • Skilled worker shortage: positions that have been vacant for months.
  • Succession and growth: new roles for which no one internally is available to step in.
  • Confidential search: placements that may not yet be made public.
  • No in-house HR: Recruitment is handled by management or executives on the side.
  • Relief: no own recruiting team, but high demands on quality.

03Briefing

We understand who you really need.

It all starts with a conversation – at your company or online. We clarify tasks, mandatory and optional qualifications, salary range, team culture, and development prospects. This results in a search profile that describes not only the CV but also the personality – and an honest assessment of what the market currently looks like for this position.

  • Job profile with tasks, qualifications, and salary range.
  • Comparison with realistic market data for the Austrian job market.
  • Transparent terms – you know in advance what a placement costs.

04Search

Active search instead of waiting for applications.

We search where your desired candidates actually are: in our network of commerce, industry, and logistics, in databases, through active sourcing and targeted advertisements. We also personally approach people who are not actively looking – discreetly and on equal footing. Your company name remains confidential upon request until the first meeting.

  • Own network plus active sourcing on all relevant channels.
  • Addressing passive candidates who do not respond to advertisements.
  • Anonymous search for sensitive positions possible.

05Selection

Handpicked preselection instead of a pile of applications.

Every person we introduce to you has undergone a structured interview; qualifications, references, and motivation for change have been checked and expectations aligned. You receive suitable profiles with our assessment – and decide who you would like to meet. We coordinate interviews and provide feedback in both directions.

  • Personal interview, qualification and reference check by workgreat.
  • Short profile with clear recommendation instead of a flood of anonymous resumes.
  • We handle appointment organization and feedback loops.

Until the signature – and beyond.

We accompany contract negotiations, notice periods, and start dates to ensure that an offer turns into an actual start of work. Our fee is only due upon commencement of employment. And because we focus on the long run, we remain the point of contact for both sides during the first few months – in case any issues arise.

  • Support with offer, contract and onboarding start.
  • Success-based fee – no risk if we don't deliver.
  • Follow-up support during the induction phase included.
