TOPOS – Partner of the middle class since 1988
For almost 40 years, TOPOS has been a partner to medium-sized companies in filling management and key positions with top candidates. This makes TOPOS one of the most experienced and efficient personnel consultancies in Germany and currently the second-biggest owner-operated consultancy in the industry. Since our foundation in 1988, we have successfully filled several thousand positions with individual strategies.
Our range of services in personnel consulting includes modern headhunting, executive search, the search for specialists and experts, and management development. In addition, we support our clients in the TOPOS Interim Management division with temporary managers and Chief Restructuring Officers.
In our daily work, we rely on our national and international network, professional search processes and transparent evaluation methodology. Clients also benefit from our cross-location approach. Our team of consultants is in constant exchange and accumulates its industry-specific knowledge, so that our clients can be sure that even the most demanding projects are handled efficiently and successfully.
Excellence in Executive Search.
For Your Success.
We combine modern approaches to executive search with proven methods to find the right specialists, senior leaders and interim managers for your organisation. More than that: we win the best candidates over for you. To achieve this, we bring together the latest technologies and innovative thinking with the experience and rigour that come from nearly four decades in the market.
Tailored Solutions and Dedicated Teams
Our consultants develop individual solutions for every client — because no two assignments are the same. Each project brings together a team drawn from consulting, research and project management, providing sector expertise and personal networks throughout the entire process.
Confidentiality and Discretion
We see ourselves as advisors and thought partners at eye level with our clients. Confidentiality and discretion are non-negotiable, because a genuine partnership is built on trust in the expertise and integrity of those involved. At the same time, we place great importance on transparency and keep you regularly informed of progress — so that you have clarity and confidence at every stage of the process.
Uncompromising Quality Standards
Our work is guided by the professional standards of the BDU (Bundesverband Deutscher Unternehmensberatungen), Germany’s leading management consultancy association, of which TOPOS is a member. We are also active in leading interim management networks as a partner of DDIM (Dachgesellschaft Deutsches Interim Management e.V.) and AIMP (Association of Interim Management Professionals).
With TOPOS it's all about ...
... not only communication, but above all about understanding.
We understand how to read your expectations between the lines. And we know how to convince your potential employees of the qualities that you offer.
We identify the companies in which your desired candidate could be hiding – even if the ideal personality is not on a traditional career path. We use many channels on our search, including social media.
Finding the Best!
Expertise
In-depth knowledge of the industry and company coupled with meticulous market analysis separate the wheat from the chaff.
Strong Networks
Strong personal networks enable access to the best. Reputation and appearance of the personnel consultancy commissioned are critical factors for success.
Best Contacts
Our consultants know the market, and the market knows our consultants. This ensures that top executives are accessible when approached directly and react with interest.
Recognised
Business magazines such as WirtschaftsWoche, Handelsblatt or FOCUS BUSINESS have also continuously honoured TOPOS as one of the leading personnel consultancies in Germany in recent years.
