Since 1987 in Frankfurt

The story of VON GOTTBERG began in 1987 in Frankfurt am Main, when Dr. Harald von Gottberg founded the company with a clear vision: to support businesses in building successful international partnerships. In the early years, the focus was particularly on the emerging Asian markets – a dynamic region that offered great potential but also presented significant challenges for many European companies.

Dr. von Gottberg quickly realized that sustainable business success depends not only on strategy and market knowledge – but above all on the people who bring those strategies to life. Even the best concepts remain ineffective without the right people in the right roles. This insight led to a strategic shift: the targeted placement of key positions increasingly became the core of our work.

Since the early 1990s, VON GOTTBERG has focused exclusively on the direct search and placement of highly qualified specialists and experienced executives. Our approach is built on deep market knowledge, an exclusive network, and a sharp instinct for our clients’ specific needs. We understand the DNA of a company and find individuals who not only bring professional expertise but also align perfectly with the organization’s culture and strategy.

Over the decades, we have successfully filled numerous key positions in international corporations and medium-sized enterprises. The executives and specialists we place don’t just close short-term gaps – they leave a lasting mark, strengthen strategy, and set companies on a path to long-term success.

Ethics & Quality

We see ourselves as a partner to our clients in a comprehensive consulting process, with the goal of supporting and advising them in the search and selection of qualified professionals and executives.

An adviser and a partner

Such a partnership can only be successful if both sides commit to mutual diligence, trust, and openness, as well as a continuous exchange of information throughout the entire course of the project. These principles guide everything we do.

Understanding

We consider a clear understanding of the overall situation and business objectives of the client company, as well as a precise knowledge of the requirements associated with the vacant position, to be essential for providing professional and efficient consulting.

Transparency

Defining the search and selection strategy as precisely as possible in close coordination between the client and the recruitment consultant is, for us, an integral part of the consulting mandate.

Data protection

We operate in compliance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). In addition, we accommodate any further confidentiality requests from clients and candidates.
