Industry focus of Frank Bühl
Executive Search Consulting Automotive
For many years, we have been managing challenging projects in the automotive sector, sectors within automotive manufacturing for caravans, trucks and buses up to mobility providers. This ranges from well-known OEM`s to the diverse supplier industry Tier 1, Tier 2 to Car Abo and other mobility providers. Electromobility, new drive concepts (H2), digitalization and autonomous driving are creating a historically unique upheaval in the automotive industry. New competitors from outside the industry, for example from the IT sector, regulatory changes and disruptive technologies are increasing the pressure and driving the transformation of German automotive suppliers and manufacturers. Particularly in the areas of drive technology and digitization, it is important not to miss the boat and to set the strategic course in good time. As a result of these changes, the demands on managers and specialists in the automotive industry are constantly increasing. Automotive and software, electronics engineers, among others, are in high demand in all parts of the industry. Ambitious work, innovative thinking and professional competence are important values that characterize a good employee in the automotive industry and therefore come into focus when filling positions. We at DELTACON Friedrichshafen help our clients to successfully manage this transformation in the automotive world by recruiting the right and suitable employees.
Executive Search Consulting Industrial
In the Industrial segment, the topics of digitalization, artificial intelligence and the handling and use of big data will separate the wheat from the chaff. It is no longer the engineering of tangible products, but the generation of customer-optimized problem solutions that will produce the market leaders of the future. In addition to software developers, e-technicians, engineers, mechanical engineers and technical specialists, as well as decision-makers from the areas of marketing, infotainment and sales will continue to be in demand. The background to this is the fact that the changeover to new technologies and solutions requires not only a high degree of technical precision, but also a certain amount of convincing on the market and with customers. It should be borne in mind that it is not only the large DAX companies that are to be regarded as innovation drivers. It is the small and medium-sized suppliers who bear a large part of the responsibility and can give wings to the future-oriented market. Especially the industry know-how paired with the expertise of bringing together the value systems of candidate and company, which we call cultural fit, ensures that we find not only the best, but also the best fitting candidates for our clients in the industrial sector.
Executive Search Consulting Off Highway
In the off-highway sector, we have a similar trend as in the automotive industry. Transformation towards sustainable new concepts of mobile machines, which transmit their power either hybrid, with hydrogen or electrically. The off-highway segment generally refers to mobile equipment that is not part of the automotive industry, or is not registered as a car or truck. This includes industries such as rail, oil & gas exploration, drilling equipment, agricultural equipment, construction equipment, mining, mining vehicles, snow removal equipment, marine, commercial shipping, ferries, yachts, power generation, power generation, microgrid, wind power, solar, geothermal, aviation, defense. In all of these special applications, completely different criteria play a role, this applies especially to the requirements for suitable employees. The profiles of the future are partly defined by us together with our client. This includes a profound knowledge of the industry, which is the basis to formulate the requirements and to find appropriate experts and executives with real industry and market know-how suitable for the often highly innovative companies. This is our strength, we create values for your future success.
