What sets us apart

Self-image and values

That's why KRÜGER

30 years of personnel consulting

For the success of our clients, we employ our experience gained over three decades as well as our combined expertise.

Passion for recruitment

We are convinced: Only those who are passionate about what they do can inspire others – and that's exactly what recruitment is all about. With passion and diligence, we identify and convince executives and experts of the exciting challenges in our clients‘ companies.

Extensive industry expertise

Our close-knit, well-established networks of decision-makers and stakeholders as well as our own professional experience in our core industries make us a sought-after personnel consultant in our region and throughout the German-speaking world. As part of the CFR Global Executive Search Network, we are part of a first-class international network and can support you also with international recruitment projects.

Goal-oriented approach

From day one, we set our sights squarely on the goal: to secure the satisfaction of our clients using a targeted, proactive approach to finding, interest, and convince that specific individual who will successfully shape your company’s development in the long term. 

Family at the center

The linchpin of our thoughts and actions is the family. As a family business, we are guided by values such as sincerity, appreciation, and mutual encouragement. These values are also the basis for our dealings with clients and candidates.

Responsibility in consulting and support

We are and will remain authentic, because we are aware of the great responsibility we assume for our clients, but also for the candidates. That's why we honestly say what we think and remain comprehensible and transparent in our actions.

„The building blocks of our success?
Sensitivity, independence, and responsibility!“

The service we offer our customers requires special sensitivity: after all, we address potential candidates exactly where they can be found – in companies, via active sourcing and, of course, in our own network. It is therefore of primary importance to us to make the entire selection process transparent for our clients and to accompany it very closely. The fact that we are intensively involved in the discussions affords us a holistic view of the process and thus the independence that makes us successful as consultants. One thing is certain: We bear responsibility towards clients and candidates alike. Ultimately, a viable solution can only emerge when both sides say "yes" to each other with full conviction.

Mientje Krüger, Consultant

„At the beginning of our journey together is listening.“

We are personnel consultants with heart and soul and thus listeners, observers, questioners, advisors, and also solution finders. We meet each other at eye level and listen carefully. This is where we set off, and it is from here that commonality, trust, and loyalty become possible – and understanding for the person we are looking for. Because finding that sometimes famous "needle in the haystack" first requires grasping all of the important facets. We approach each and every person we talk to – with interest, a sympathetic ear, professionalism, and empathy.

Elisabeth Krüger, Consultant

„Our history is the solid foundation for our future“

The history of KRÜGER – Personal Headhunting is the story of our family. What has been created in the past makes us proud. We see it as our task and obligation to give the best to our clients every day with enthusiasm. Successful partnerships with clients for more than 30 years prove us right – while at the same time giving us the confidence to successfully continue our company history.

Matthias Krüger, Owner

Our values

As the basis of our actions, our values sharpen the awareness of what is important to us in contact with each other and with clients. They are the source of the quality of our work.

Familie

Family

KRÜGER – Personnel recruiting has been part of our family's tradition since day one. Honesty and respect, integrity, and safety, as well as sustainability and responsibility, therefore, remain the guiding principles for our decisions and our conduct.

Authentizität

Authenticity

Out of conviction, we make ourselves visible and comprehensible to our clients, partners and candidates. We show personality and at the same time ask this of our counterpart,  thus enabling mutual trust. In our role as advisors, we are open and honest – even where things can sometimes get uncomfortable.

Leidenschaft

Passion

What we do, we do with enthusiasm. We approach every assignment, every new challenge with curiosity and the inner need to create the best for our clients and candidates. This passion drives us, motivates us, and translates to our partners.

Transparenz

Transparency

Our goals are deliberately ambitious. To achieve them, we rely on the trust of our clients. We maintain this by always acting openly and comprehensibly and by providing information about ongoing steps and the project status.

Wertschätzung

Appreciation

Open communication, honesty, looking together in the same direction, and formulating goals: all of this characterizes our idea of what it is to be human and stands for the respect with which we approach our counterparts. On this basis of appreciation, we can find effective ways together, but also express criticism or make course corrections.

Kreativität

Creativity

A basic prerequisite for success is creativity: we don’t follow the beaten path, but also think „outside the box“ and look for a solution in a bolder range of colors.

History

Family businesses have always drawn their strength from trusting cooperation: together with his sister Elisabeth and daughter Mientje, owner Matthias Krüger can look back on more than 30 years of successful personnel consulting and extensive industry experience.
