Storage duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, insofar as special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are processed. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information in your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is also carried out on the basis of § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required to fulfill the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Note on the transfer of data to third countries that are not secure under data protection law and the transfer to US companies that are not DPF-certified

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in third countries that are not secure under data protection law and US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in third countries that are unsafe under data protection law.

We would like to point out that the USA, as a safe third country, generally has a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the USA is then permitted if the recipient is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has suitable additional guarantees. Information on transfers to third countries, including the data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

As part of our business activities, we work together with various external bodies. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external bodies. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary in the context of fulfilling a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors, we only pass on our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING, WHICH INCLUDES PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged violation. The right of appeal exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Information, correction and deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time if you have further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

About Simone Flachmann

Growing up in rural East Westphalia, I developed a deep connection to nature at an early age, which has had a lasting impact on my personal and professional life.

My path began with a scientific degree in geography with a focus on ecology. I then worked in environmental services on the topics of recycling management, waste disposal and remediation.

My enthusiasm for working with people eventually led me into HR services and consulting. For more than 20 years, my focus has been on connecting the right talents with the right positions (nationally and internationally) – always with a special feel for the individual needs of companies and candidates.

Today I live in Cologne and support people in realizing their professional goals and companies in attracting the best talent for their teams. In addition to my extensive professional experience, my training as a systemic coach (IHK) enables me to provide my clients with holistic support in professional orientation, personal development and change processes.

In addition to my work as a personnel consultant, I have been a freelance trainer and career coach for a renowned academy in the field of life science management for over ten years. With empathy, precision and commitment, I am a “passionate service provider”.

My focus is on companies that make a positive contribution to society and the environment over and above their economic goals. I am particularly passionate about organizations that want to make the world a better place through innovation, sustainability and social responsibility.

About Dr. Viktor Lau

I am an HR generalist with more than 25 years of experience. I came to personnel management by chance: After completing my doctorate in philosophy at the University of Constance in 1997, I initially worked in adult education and was offered a lectureship in personnel and organizational development at the Private University of Applied Sciences in St. Gallen and Zurich.

After a stint at CSC Ploenzke AG in Wiesbaden in 2000, I joined Commerzbank AG in Frankfurt am Main in 2005, where I got to know HR work in a corporate group. As part of the merger of Commerzbank and Dresdner Bank, I was responsible for the HR integration of around 3,500 people from the two IT organizations.

Family events have brought my wife and me back to our shared home, the northwest of Germany. From 2010, I was responsible for personnel controlling as well as personnel and organizational development at Bremer Landesbank. In 2014, I returned to the Rhine-Main region, my adopted hometown of Wiesbaden, and have lived there ever since.

From 2014, I worked as a senior manager at zeb.rolfes.schierenbeck.associates for eight years, advising numerous banks on all HR-related issues, and from 2021 I worked at DZ PRIVATBANK as a manager in the HR department. I have been a Senior Partner at PMCI since 2023 and am responsible for the Finance & Banking client area.

During my career to date, I have written numerous articles and books on human resources topics “on the side”. I also enjoy being active in research and teaching to this day.

In my private life, the interests I developed during my studies have never left me, so that today I am still interested in the history, literature and philosophy of the 18th to 20th centuries. Music plays a major role here. Unfortunately only passively, but that also means that I am still pursuing my long-standing hobby of high-quality reproduction of music (“high end”).

About Arne tom Wörden

As a true “Nordlicht”, born and raised in Cuxhaven, I have now been in the Rhineland for more than 20 years. The well-known open and communicative nature of the Rhinelanders suits me very well, which is why I have felt very much at home here for a long time.

I have been in the recruiting business for more than 24 years. In 1999, when I joined the HR department at OBI in Wermelskirchen, I lost my heart to the subject. It was an obvious step to go into consulting at some point. As a personnel consultant, I can combine two of my strengths and passions. For one thing, I am a very curious person. Getting to know new customers, new industries, new functional areas; understanding what challenges there are in this particular environment spurs me on – makes me happy. On the other hand, I see a real opportunity to create prospects for people. Every candidate is important to me. The decision to take on a new challenge must be carefully considered. That’s why I see myself as a consultant for the candidates as well as for my clients.

The passion to do something for people is also reflected in my private activities. As a member of the Lions Club Langenfeld, as a member of the board of the Düsseldorf regional group of the Association of Executives and as chairman of the state commission for labor market and education policy of the NRW Economic Council, I am actively involved in supporting society and the community.

About Dr. Jochen Neese

I studied mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Munich, specializing in design engineering, and later – yes, 30 years ago – I did my doctorate on the subject of artificial intelligence. Incidentally, this translation was even more incorrect back then than it is today…

After a total of 11 years as a software developer, project manager and executive at FAG Kugelfischer and IBM, I moved to the consulting division of KPMG in Frankfurt in 1998, where I worked with my team as an IT management consultant, most recently as a partner and managing director. The topics of leadership and change management have always fascinated and challenged me, at least since the IT outsourcing from FAG to IBM.

Having worked in personnel consulting since 2006, my core areas of IT, consulting and medium-sized industry have never really let go of me. In addition to the classic executive search, I have supported many individual candidates in their repositioning through career coaching in recent years. This dual perspective often helps me and “my” candidates in executive search projects.

In my private life, I have a diverse “migration background” within Germany: I was born in Bielefeld, graduated from high school in Schweinfurt, then via professional stations in Schweinfurt and Munich finally ended up with my family near Frankfurt am Main.

I completely reversed my decades-long aversion to golf in 2010 and even gave up playing tennis. Furthermore, during my time as a part-time retailer of Italian wines from 1991 to 2018, I adapted a much-quoted saying: “Life is too short for trivial wines.”

About Gerhard Eller

I am an Austrian citizen, trained as an engineer in Vienna and have a degree in economics. After this training, I worked in the international supplier and packaging industry. In 1996, I moved to Hanover with my family. Professionally, I have been most influenced by the experience I have gained in sole responsibility for companies or business units since 1998. I find this experience – including the moderation of change processes – particularly valuable in consulting. They sharpen my focus on requirements and help me to talk to everyone involved on an equal footing. I have been a personnel consultant since 2016 and mainly support companies in the technical manufacturing industry.

I still live with my wife until today near Hanover; our three adult children in Lower Saxony. Sport, especially cycling, is one of my passions.

When asked why I went into consulting, I like to answer that it’s nice to bring people together in the right way – to move people.
