To avoid the typical recruitment mistakes, I have developed a transparent process. It guarantees speed and the highest quality. This way, we quickly find your ideal, German-speaking Java developer. This approach has proven itself in over 50 successful placements.
My process is designed for maximum efficiency and precision:
1. Kick-off Call (60 minutes): We collaboratively define the requirements profile, focusing on technical skills, project environment, and company culture. Within 24 hours, you receive a summary, and the search begins.
2. Targeted Search & Direct Approach: I tap into my exclusive network of over 2,000 Java specialists and approach candidates who are not actively searching but are a perfect fit. 70% of the best candidates are passive.
3. Presentation of Profiles (within 5 days): You receive a shortlist of 2-3 handpicked candidates. Each profile includes a detailed analysis of both professional and personal suitability. This saves you over 80% of your usual interview time.
This structured approach enables reducing the vacancy time from an average of 7.7 months to a few weeks. It ensures that you only speak with candidates who truly enhance your company. This makes the search for suitable Java developers predictable and successful.
Our 3-step process: Tailored profiles in 5 days
Technical excellence is only one half of success. The other half is cultural fit. 73% of all professionals who leave a company do so because of a lack of cultural fit. A poor fit destroys morale and reduces productivity across the team. Employees who have a good cultural fit show 90% higher job satisfaction.
Therefore, I analyse not just the tech stack, but also the values and working methods. Does the candidate fit your team dynamics and company goals? 81% of managers confirm that these employees are less likely to resign. This protects your investment and ensures long-term stable teams.
My selection process places a strong focus on this compatibility. I make sure that new Java developers in Berlin or elsewhere do not just fill a gap. They must sustainably strengthen your team. This is the key to reducing turnover by over 50%.

FAQ
What advantages does a specialized headhunter offer compared to a job board?
In contrast to job boards that primarily attract actively searching candidates, a specialised headhunter accesses an exclusive network of passive talents – often the most experienced experts. We take care of the entire selection process, assessing technical and cultural suitability, and present you with only a small selection of top candidates. This saves you over 80% of the usual effort.
How do you ensure the technical qualification of Java developers?
With my exclusive specialisation in Java, I conduct detailed technical interviews. I assess not only pure programming skills but also understanding of architectures, frameworks, and agile methods. This ensures that candidates meet the specific requirements of your project 100%.
What does 'deutschsprachig' mean exactly in your context?
I exclusively work with developers who speak and write German at a business fluent level (C1/C2). This ensures smooth communication within your teams and with stakeholders in the DACH region, avoiding misunderstandings that can occur in teams that operate solely in English.
How quickly can I expect the first candidate profiles?
After our initial kick-off call, during which we refine the profile, you will receive the first handpicked candidate profiles within just 5 working days. My efficient process is designed to fill your vacancy as quickly as possible.
What happens if a candidate you refer resigns during the probationary period?
Your satisfaction and the long-term success of the placement are my top priorities. That's why I offer a replacement guarantee. If the candidate leaves the company during the probation period, I will begin the search for a new candidate for you – at no additional cost.
Is a free initial consultation truly without obligation?
Yes, absolutely. The 30-minute initial consultation is designed to understand your challenges and introduce my approach to solving them. You are under no obligation. It is your opportunity to assess the value of a collaboration without any risk.
