Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Stephan
I support companies as an HR Interim Manager, Head of Recruiting, and Senior Recruiting Specialist with over 16 years of experience in the technical field. My focus is on filling specialist and management positions in engineering, mechanical and plant engineering, construction, electrical engineering, and the energy and environmental sectors.
Operationally, I handle end-to-end recruiting, including requirements analysis, active sourcing, conducting interviews, and making selection decisions. Strategically, I support the prioritization of critical roles, the optimization of existing recruiting processes, and coordination with specialist departments and management.
As a former team and department head (up to 26 employees), I bring experience in team leadership, KPI management, scaling, and stakeholder management. I particularly support companies in stabilizing recruiting structures and driving placements forward quickly during growth phases or periods of change.
I work pragmatically, reliably, and solution-oriented, with a clear focus on speed, quality, and transparency in the recruiting process.
