Which industry do you belong to?
IT Industry
The IT industry is growing rapidly, and the market is highly competitive. New startups are founded every day, fighting for specialist personnel. The problem: not enough good employees are coming through
And temporary workers and freelancers? They offer no long-term solution as they cannot be firmly integrated into the company.
Medical Technology
In medical technology, there are countless legal regulations. The transition from MDD to MDR in May 2024 alone requires the development of internal resources.
The lack of specific expertise or failure to meet the specialist quota can lead to interruptions in processes and cause significant financial losses.
Industry
The rapid development of e-mobility, digitalization, and automation means that many plants are being relocated abroad or production must become more cost-effective.
Team leaders and specialists are in higher demand than ever. Complex machines, automation, or processes specifically require specialized experts with specific know-how.
If these are missing, production can come to a standstill.
Consulting & Sales
Good consultants are characterized by a combination of professional competence, specific expertise, and communicative strength to interact successfully with clients.
However, these experts are often hard to find as they are frequently already working for renowned companies. Without these specialists, it is difficult to accept orders, especially in sales, as specific expertise is required for many products and services.
Recruit Efficiently and Target‒Oriented
Why LinkedIn is by far the best platform for hard-to-fill vacancies
LinkedIn is arguably the best platform for acquiring specialists and executives – but why? LinkedIn is a "property-based" platform.
This means: You can search specifically for certain qualifications, skills, or professional experience.
And the best part: Direct contact with potential candidates via messages is possible. This makes communication and the recruitment process not only simple but also maximally cost-efficient.
What results you can expect
Speed
You can contact potential candidates within just a few days. On average, it takes only 6–8 weeks to successfully fill an open position.
HR relief through direct outreach
We relieve your HR department and introduce effective recruiting channels, such as direct outreach via LinkedIn, into your company. In this way, we ensure your long-term competitiveness.
Building a candidate pool
You can easily build a pool of at least 100, often even 200 candidates per open position. This gives you the flexibility to choose the most suitable candidate.
Cost Savings
We contact your candidates via direct outreach. This means you don't need to spend money on advertising campaigns or job postings. You save up to 30% in hire costs – without commission.

„I can warmly recommend working with Tamara and her team. Whenever I had questions, they were answered very quickly through the appropriate channels. But it’s not just Tamara, the entire team was always there in their respective areas. Truly an all-around worry-free package”
Robin Saberi
CEO ModulAcht GmbH & Co. KG
IT & Software Unternehmen
CONTEXT
Last year, ModulAcht GmbH parted ways with four employees and needed to quickly fill two to three positions. Previously, vacancies were easily filled through the employment agency or job postings, but the shortage of skilled workers, especially in software development, has made recruitment more challenging over the past five years.
RESULTS
Development of an individualized outreach strategy that specifically addresses the motivations of candidates for software developer positions.
19 candidates generated and approximately 10 interviews conducted.
Successful hiring of 3 software developers within 6 weeks.
Successfully filled 5 key positions and halved the team's average age.
CONTEXT
CPS Systemhaus GmbH aimed to rejuvenate its team. Previous recruitment attempts via social media ads or job portals only brought disappointing results.
RESULTS
Created "employee avatars," including detailed documentation of turnover needs for future recruiting activities.
Implementation of an efficient application and interview process, as well as long-term collaboration in recruiting.
The team was significantly rejuvenated. The following positions were successfully filled: 2 service technicians, 1 technical operations coordinator, 1 order processing specialist, and 1 sales representative.
„I can recommend working with SMARX. The approach is different from what you usually know. That, paired with the team's energy, quickly led to the first successes.”
