What sets us apart
Industry expertise no other recruiter has
Our co-founder is a trained architect with over seven years of industry experience.
She evaluates every candidate with a professional eye, assessing not only qualifications, but whether they will actually succeed in your project environment.
Direct outreach instead of waiting
We don’t wait for applicants. We actively approach the market and contact the candidates who truly fit your requirements, including those who are not actively looking. Optional targeted recruitment campaigns increase reach and impact.
Recruiting and visibility in one solution
Most recruiters simply forward CVs. We deliver qualified candidates and position you as an attractive employer at the same time.
We don’t just find the right people, we make them want to work for you.
Performance-based recruitment only
You only pay upon successful hire. No risk, no upfront costs. In addition, we offer the Talent Magnet to strengthen your employer brand.
Our services are transparent, predictable
and free of hidden costs.
THE STORY BEHIND TALENTSTRENDS
Founded on the belief that recruitment can be done better.
Our co-founder Antonia spent years working in the construction and planning industry, repeatedly encountering the same issues: recruiters who don’t understand the field, CVs forwarded without context and candidates who look good on paper but fail in practice. Companies searching for months and still hiring the wrong person.
On the other side, Fabio worked with well-known companies in sports and business, building marketing campaigns that attract attention and build trust. He knows how to position companies so that top talent takes notice.
From this combination, talentstrends was born: a recruitment consultancy that blends real industry expertise with modern recruiting and employer branding.
