Special times require special measures. Corona and the war in Ukraine have changed a lot. Employees are currently unwilling to change jobs and companies are finding it difficult to find the right employees. Only an experienced headhunter professional can help here and bring companies and candidates together to create a “perfect fit”.
“80% of all resumes are rubbish”
“80% of all CVs are rubbish”, he emphasised in an interview with the Süddeutsche Zeitung, saying that most people don’t know how to go about looking for a job, nor are they familiar with the right methods and tools.
In his lectures, he emphasises that anyone can find their “dream job” if they just go about it the right way. His passion is to educate and put the right people in the right position.
