Head of Headhunting (m/f/d) - Hamburg & Surrounding Area

Why A-LEVEL?

Do you want to continue to grow professionally and directly co-shape the development of a modern headhunting agency? Perhaps you've also wanted to become self-employed before, but there hasn't been a personnel opportunity for it yet? Do you want a lot of responsibility and to scale a company together with the founder on an equal footing? Do you want your DNA to flow directly into the agency's culture and for you to help build the team?

A-LEVEL has Proof of Concept and demand is consistently higher than what we can serve. We need you for further scaling! Here you have the opportunity to participate entrepreneurially in the development of the agency - both with the responsibility you carry and through profit sharing and VSOP participation.

As Head of Headhunting, you will take on the central key position in our company and be responsible for ensuring that our clients are satisfied, we place enough candidates, and placement rates increase.

With me (Maximilian Wolf), you can expect an experienced founder who has already successfully built and sold an agency with 40 employees.

What we do: A-LEVEL

We are the headhunting partner for companies in the start-up and e-commerce industries, strengthening companies with the best industry talents.

Tasks

To further scale the agency, I as the founder need a person to whom I can hand over client mandates.

We are a headhunting agency in e-commerce in a very good position, as demand is consistently higher than what we can implement. Through the sale of my previous performance marketing agency, I have built up a very strong network in e-commerce and online marketing over seven years, which ensures a high reputation and brings a lot of tailwind for growth.

90% of our mandates work with an advance payment from the client. I, as the founder, see myself as responsible for bringing new clients on board and expanding new client business.

Now I need a person to whom I can hand over our client mandates, who will take responsibility for expanding existing client business and generating revenue through placements with our mandates.
