Why one application is enough
Put yourself in the position of a qualified professional: would they spend weeks researching employers, write hundreds of applications and go through every process individually?
That is exactly why we reach people you can hardly reach on the open market — one application to Phoenix, and we take care of the rest on both sides.

How we work
Four steps to a successful placement.
Transparent and predictable — from the first conversation to the signed contract.
01 Day 1
Briefing & role profile
A 60-minute conversation in person — afterwards we know your role, your team, your culture. That becomes the profile we search against.
02 Week 1–3
Candidate sourcing & screening
Active sourcing, matching from our pool and direct approach — we check both technical fit and culture before introducing anyone.
03 Week 3–6
Interviews & selection
We present 3–5 vetted profiles with our recommendation. You run the interviews — we moderate where it helps.
04 Week 6–8
Contract & onboarding
We facilitate negotiation and signing, and stay in touch with both sides during the probation period. Re-placement guaranteed.

Frequently asked
Everything you want to know.
Did not find what you were looking for? Write to us — we respond on working days within 24 hours.
How does the collaboration work?
We start with a personal briefing, define the search profile and then work in regular updates — transparent, predictable, without unnecessary loops.
How long does a placement take on average?
Six to eight weeks from briefing to signing. We present the first matching profiles within the first ten working days — often considerably earlier when the profile fits our active pool.
How large is your talent pool?
More than 4,500 active profiles in Banking & Finance, Legal & Tax and Office — DACH-wide. On top, we use active sourcing and our network of specialists who do not look publicly.
How do you ensure the quality of placements?
We assess every candidate technically and culturally — you only see profiles we consider a fit. If a placement leaves during the probation period, we re-place the role without additional fee.
