Company: Pape Consulting Group AG Contact: Christian Pape Email: [email protected] Website: www.pape.de Jan22585 Most Influential Headhunting Consultant 2022: Christian Pape Pape Consulting Group is a personnel consultancy operating throughout Germany and Europe. It offers holistic solutions around the topic of human resources, from the search for specialists and executives to innovative and complex internet solutions for career platforms. CEO, Christian Pape has been recognised within the German CEO Excellence Awards 2022, so join us as we take a closer look at the company and how it came into existence. Pape Consulting Group is one of the few sector-specialised personnel consultancies in Germany, its solutions including recruiting specialists and managers; executive search at top management, C-level and board level; conducting assessments; coaching; training; diagnostics; outplacement/ newplacement; personnel marketing; and employer branding. Additionally, it offers new innovative methods such as perspective consulting, StaffingPro, video coaching, and inverse headhunting. Pape’s approach as a solution provider is what sets it apart from competitors, as well as the industry-related qualifications of its consultants and the unconditional will and promise to successfully implement every mandate. Its goal is always the “perfect match” between the company seeking personnel and the highly qualified candidates. Company CEO, Christian Pape studied electrical engineering and became selfemployed in 1992, when he fulfilled his greatest dream. He discovered a gap in the market for a specialised and sector-oriented personnel consultancy and founded his first company, Pape Consulting Group with this idea. In 2000, he led his company to become one of the top 10 sector-oriented personnel consultancies in Germany. It was difficult for the company when it started out three decades ago to develop its own identity in what was then a very confusing market of personnel consultants. It needed to stand out from the “usual market” consultant cliché. In 1992, Pape was the first HR consultants to develop and publish a website, and it was laughed at by the established “executive searchers” at the time. With a strong sales and industry-related approach, Pape Consulting Group positioned itself as a solutions provider, but it was viewed as an outsider within a conservative industry; an infantile newcomer that would surely disappear again quickly. So, the company had to come up with its own methods: a powerful network; a specialised, interdisciplinary team; and above all, innovative methods of finding and approaching candidates. It has always been important to Pape that it clearly communicates its “being different” to the outside world. This has resulted in a communication concept with its own logo, a claim, and a campaign that reflects it as a company under the motto, “Did you ever try to…?” The multi-award-winning personnel consultant’s proprietary search methods, extensive network, and competent team have achieved “andersmacher”, as Handelsblatt newspaper describes it. And it manages this within a changing labour market, which is caused by so many factors such as demographic development, digitalisation and new social perspectives. All this needs to be taken into account in order to attract new candidates. “The Great Resignation” is a new trend in the labour market, where employees voluntarily quit their jobs in large numbers. Possible reasons include changing perceptions due to the pandemic, and many are looking for a better work-life balance. This is also exacerbated by the ever-worsening demographic situation. This is where Pape comes in, helping candidates to find employment, as well as having a franchise partner model available since 2001 which supports startups and experienced consultants in their self-employment. Pape, as the umbrella organisation, provides the know-how of how to lead a successful personnel consultancy, covering project procedures, acquisition strategies, contacts, networks, business partners, and a database of highly qualified candidates. Each franchisee can benefit from valuable enrichment and business Pape Consulting Group AG
