Be independent, but still in a team!
Enter our unique “partner model”!
Your advantages
You get what you deserve!
You do everything only for yourself!
Personnel consulting is fun!
You have a significant influence on careers and corporate success. In no other job you receive such immediate feedback for your work and play such a decisive role in shaping the future of companies and candidates!
Success is immediately noticeable and highly motivating!
Enjoy the freedom!
You divide up your work yourself and set your own goals. No one is above you anymore and tells you what you have to do and which KPI’s you still have to achieve this month.
When to do what, how and where is your decision alone.
Marketing and acquisition
You benefit from our wealth of awards and accolades (Headhunter of the Year, Handelsblatt, Wirtschaftswoche, Focus and many more) for a high reputation in the market. This gives you a real competitive advantage in acquisition and implementation.
Unique IT – maximum comfort and freedom!
Our cloud-based database has grown with us over 30 years and has adapted to the work process of a personnel consultant in the best possible way. It is an archive, process tool and communication tool. You have access from every corner of the earth (internet provided) and can work from anywhere.
Onboarding
You will be prepared for your job in the best possible way, with an internal and an external coach. This will give you the perfect start.
Diversity of services
Our range of services is as diverse as the talents and experience of our partner network. This means you always have solutions ready for your clients, whether it’s a wide variety of recruitment methods, outplacement, diagnostics, management audits, training and much more.
Stay away from “I’ll do it myself” and from expensive “franchise” models.
We take care of everything and have a turnkey business model for you, where you can take care of your business immediately. We have many USP's that will give you competitive advantages with potential clients: Our many awards, the well-known brand, the good reputation, our approach as a solution provider, the renowned customer references, the versatility of methods and services, the synergies among partners, the low franchise fee, the know transfer, our powerful database, our TOP Google ranking, the independence of our partners, 30 years of good reputation in the industry and many more.
WHAT WE DO FOR YOU
THE BRAND
THE METHODS
We are not “another headhunter”. Every consultancy has its own concept. Ours is very special. Why? We have ideas, diversity, creativity and many thinking heads. We are not entrenched, we are difference-makers.
Our know-how is unique and helps you with the acquisition, preparation of offers to the successful completion of a mandate and the generation of customer loyalty.
THE INFRASTRUCTURE
Our own database is an essential companion, as an archive and pool for candidates, as a project management tool and it serves to communicate with each other.
400 pages of website are our business card. Many consultants with a wide range of expertise help to successfully implement even the most demanding and exotic projects.
THE CULTURE
Who was on the phone first? It’s not your postcode area, hands off! It’s not your industry, I’ll do it.
We don’t have any of that. No envy, no “all mine”. We are a team.
Only together we are strong and successful. We all indulge and benefit from each other. And we take all that very seriously.
Being a personnel consultant with Pape
We have received numerous awards from renowned media and jurors. Do you want to be part of it?
In this way, industry expertise can complement each other and the client can be offered other services such as diagnostics, outplacement/newplacement, audits, interim management, coaching and much more as a solution in addition to a wide range of recruitment methods. This creates strong customer loyalty and so, even in Corona times, we always have creative approaches to be able to work with the customer on the most diverse levels.
All recruiters are the same? Of course not
Even if the search methods sound the same everywhere - Direct Search, Executive Search, Active Sourcing and many more. - the methods are always different and, above all, always lead to different results and success rates. The know-how, skills, methods and tools needed to act successfully as a consultant are invaluable knowledge that we impart, among many other unique selling points, to make each of our consultants successful headhunters.
STRONG BRAND • STRONG TEAM • STRONG FRANCHISE CONCEPT
These are references from particularly trustworthy sites (media, universities, magazines, companies) that recommend "PAPE" and refer to pape.de. Quite good prerequisites for walking the path together with us?
We have been active as a personnel consultancy for 30 years and have always been innovators in our industry. We have never been able to do much with the "old boys' network", but with customer-oriented, successful and reliable craftsmanship. Our completion rate - i.e. how many search projects are actually filled by us - is outstanding and customer satisfaction is always our top priority.
In addition to this "perfect fit" between company and candidate that we propagate and strive for, we also coined the term "solution provider" very early on. By this we mean that while we are very successful in our "core business" of direct/executive search, the services we provide to our clients always involve listening and then acting flexibly.
And so, in addition to direct search, we offer many other services, such as outplacement, diagnostics, assessments, management audits, interim management and much more. So you will always find a starting point for a cooperation with a potential client. That is what makes us so unique.
Finally your own boss and 100% productive!

Talk to us – the “bonus” is an interesting, never boring business relationship!
Dear Interested Party,
Experienced consultants benefit from an established umbrella brand, a very present website, a large number of well-known references, a high Google ranking and prominent place in the media, the versatile, international network, sophisticated marketing and acquisition tools with unique selling points, an extensive, well-maintained database and the "we-feeling" of being an independent entrepreneur but always enjoying the spirit of a team.
We stand out from other franchise models in that we operate as a well-coordinated team, with currently 14 partners, in which we support and exchange each other in a valuable way. We do not know any competition among ourselves, but only cooperation. This sets us apart from many other franchise models in personnel consulting. Regarding financial expenditure: With our moderate entry fee, we do not want to earn money, but calculate our expenditure for a professional start of our new partners to cover our costs. Most franchise models on the market - and we are essentially different from them - are geared exclusively towards growth, earn considerable money on the entry fees and also draw their profitability from the fluctuation of new partners. We, on the other hand, want to make YOU a successful consultant.
If you are planning to start your own business in this environment, remember that you only have one "start-up". This one has to fit. Otherwise, you will immediately have a negative image as a consultant and will never be successful. You live from a network and initially from a leap of faith on the part of your potential customers. You should not abuse this and only use it when you are confident in this profession and have a high quality of work. Here we differ decisively in philosophy, preparation phase and implementation. I look forward to further discussions.
With kind regards
