A lot needs to fit together when medium-sized companies want to be successful in their search for executives. To ensure this, Baumann Unternehmensberatung has been advising CEOs and shareholders for over 45 years on the placement of their top management and specialist positions. Long-standing experience and a large network characterize the consulting firm based in Frankfurt a.M. with the well-known telephone receiver company logo. Therefore, it is no surprise that these specialists, who operate across various sectors, have been repeatedly awarded as top companies in their field.

The search for executives poses major challenges for companies today. As a renowned partner in Executive & Professional Search, Baumann Corporate Consulting has occupied a prominent position in human resources consulting in Germany for decades. Managing Director Dr. Michael Faller states reasons why companies and candidates choose Baumann: "We know the market and the market knows us. The competition for the best heads and talents is as pronounced as never before. In such challenging candidate markets, a recruiting firm can only be successful if it has long-standing experience, personal networks, and a deep understanding of the markets. All of this distinguishes us."

Full Service Provider

As a full service provider in the field of Executive & Professional Search, Baumann focuses on the middle market. "We pursue a holistic consulting approach and have a clear understanding of the concerns of companies," explains the CEO. "Before taking on a search, we assess whether a company's expectations align with market opportunities and provide advice accordingly. A significant part of our work is the continuous analysis of the market and competitive environment of our clients. Thus, we usually already know before a search begins which candidates are currently willing to change. This makes us significantly faster in the search, engaging the right personalities in conversation more quickly." The company, founded in 1977 by Heinz Baumann, was taken over ten years later by Dietmar Faller, the father of the current CEO, and developed into a market-leading company in the industry.

In addition to the standard print advertisements of the time, headhunting was also one of the core competencies of the consulting firm from the beginning. The search concept evolved into today's outcome and market-driven, digitally supported multi-channel approach with a focus on direct approaches. In the area of candidate selection, the company has been using diagnostic procedures for years to make the decision-making process more objective. Of the 50 employees, 25 work as consultants. "Our search is always a combination of networking and active market management," explains Dr. Michael Faller. Long-term client relationships have allowed Baumann to grow over the decades. "We are a very well-known brand," the managing director rejoices. "In the coming years, we want to further expand our position as executive search consultants for German medium-sized businesses."
