Why PARAX
You bring the vision, the budget, and the final decision. We bring the candidate pipeline and 20 years of market knowledge.
Most German recruiters don’t understand how US leadership teams operate. Most US firms don’t know the German candidate landscape. Stefan Stankowic has worked in both — that’s the bridge you need.
Senior engineers in German energy and grid infrastructure don’t apply to job postings — they get 3–5 recruiter messages per week and ignore most of them. Direct headhunting is the only method that reaches them. That is our only method.
At large search firms, a partner pitches and a junior runs the search. At PARAX, Stefan Stankowic handles every mandate personally. Direct contact from first call to placement. Fixed €5,000 engagement fee to start — no contingency risk.
Case Study
A US energy company needed three senior engineers for their new Hamburg office — HVDC project engineers with grid infrastructure experience. Traditional agencies quoted 5–7 months. Two had already tried and delivered nothing. We delivered a qualified shortlist of four candidates in 9 days. First interviews started in week two. All three positions were filled in 8 weeks. None of the candidates had applied to any job posting in the past four years.
