HR Quick Check
Free of charge. The quick overview.
- Interview with one key person about your current processes
- Compact review of your key documents
- The main points summarised for you in brief
What we take off your hands
Hand over single areas or your entire HR work. We work remotely from Berlin for businesses throughout Germany and visit you by arrangement.
The starting point: HR Quick Check or HR Check
We look at where you stand: employment contracts and their clauses, payroll data and pay components, working-time models and rosters, personnel files, benefits. Afterwards you know what works, what’s missing and what urgently needs improving. There is no obligation, but it gives us the basis for a well-founded offer.
HR Check (charged)
The full assessment.
- Up to two interviews with management or key people
- Review of your documents and current processes
- Written report with findings, assessment and measures ranked by urgency
- Checklist of what currently runs in your business
- 60-minute results presentation

HR Business Partner
You book an HR professional for individual days, full or half. On those days they work for your company and resolve the HR issues at hand: a difficult staff conversation, a separation, planning your next hires, a restructuring or questions from your managers. Because it is always the same person, they know your company and don’t need to get up to speed each time.
We agree together how many days you need. We plan the dates at the start of each month and review the scope after six months. The HR Business Partner is only available in addition to one of our support packages.
Strategic HR consulting
We advise on HR organisation, pay and benefits, working-time and rostering models, succession and feedback processes. We provide expert support for business transfers and restructuring.
Restructuring and insolvency
HR services with a focus on insolvency: pre-financing of insolvency benefit, certificates and all HR matters during the proceedings.
When a company runs into crisis, HR work must not come to a halt. Employees expect their pay, deadlines keep running, and every decision needs reliable figures.
We take over HR work for management teams and insolvency administrators and work closely with the law firm. The insolvency administrator quickly gets a complete overview of the workforce and can focus on the decisions in the proceedings.
Insolvency benefit
- Determining and certifying entitlements
- Organising pre-financing
- Answering employees’ questions, including at staff meetings
Payroll and filings
- Payroll before and after the opening of proceedings
- Filings with health insurers, tax office and the employers’ liability insurance association
- Support during social security audits
Claims
- Compiling preferential claims from the HR area
- Preparing claims for the insolvency schedule
Personnel measures
- Preparing mass redundancy notifications
- Preparing applications for approval of dismissals for employees with special protection against dismissal
Closing the proceedings
- Calculating distributions to employees
- Keeping personnel records until the proceedings end
People development and training
Employees stay when they feel seen, heard, supported and challenged. That’s why, alongside administration, we also support the development of your employees.
We deliver most trainings ourselves; for some topics we work with selected partners. If no ready-made concept fits, we design a programme for your company. You set the direction.
Ready-made training concepts
- Leadership development: modular programme in three to five modules, for new managers, experienced managers and senior management
- Positive communication: using words, tone and body language deliberately and avoiding misunderstandings
- Resilience and stress management: staying calm and setting priorities, even when a lot comes at once
- Service quality: retaining customers through good service and enjoying your own work more
- Team workshop: recognising strengths, using differences, strengthening cohesion
- Mission and goals: deciding together where your company wants to go and how to get there
- Apprentices and trainees: preparation for intermediate and final exams, induction and graduation events
Recruiting
Good candidates are usually on the market for only a few weeks. That’s why we present suitable profiles promptly, so you can decide while the person is still available.
Skilled staff via job ads
Job profile, ad copy, placement on suitable job boards, pre-selection and first phone interviews. You only meet people who fit. As a single assignment or a monthly quota.
Temporary staff pool
One ad runs permanently, we screen continuously and maintain a candidate pool. When you need someone, you pick. Designed for hospitality and seasonal businesses, for example.
Direct search
For management and key positions, we approach suitable people confidentially and directly. We support you until the contract is signed and during the first three months.
If a placed person leaves within the first six months, we search again once at no additional fee.
What we don’t do
Being open about our limits builds more trust than offering everything. For all other topics, we prepare the groundwork, while the legal assessment stays with you or your lawyers.
- Legal advice and representation in court. We accompany you to the hearing in an organisational role.
- Tax advice beyond payroll. We work together with your tax adviser.
- Formal warnings. Here we only support you together with your employment law firm.
- Rostering and operating a time-tracking system
- Data protection officer, whistleblower reporting office, anti-discrimination complaints office
Let’s talk first
We won’t try to sell you anything in our first conversation. You describe your situation, and we tell you whether and where we can take work off your hands. Sometimes the answer is: not at all.
