SEARCH4 recruits specialists and leaders for industrial businesses. We combine a precise understanding of your needs with personal outreach – locally, across Germany and internationally.
Rooted in the Schlüsselregion. Borderless Talent Solutions.
From tool and mould making to special-purpose machinery: we clarify production scope, product complexity and project responsibility.
Example roles: toolmaking, design engineering, production planning, project management and service.
Turning, milling or complex assemblies: materials, tolerances, machine controls and batch sizes belong in the search brief.
Example roles: CNC specialists, CAM programming, production management and quality assurance.
We consider the full path from technical concept to implementation, including methods, tools and interfaces.
Example roles: development engineering, CAD design, testing, validation and technical project management.
Connected production needs systems thinking and practical experience. We define platforms, plant environments and responsibilities.
Example roles: PLC programming, automation, electrical engineering, commissioning and technical leadership.
A CNC specialist making one-off parts needs different experience from a manager running high-volume production. We first translate your needs into clear selection criteria.
Which materials, machines, controls, CAD/CAM systems or automation platforms are essential? What can be learned on the job?
Which tolerances, inspection methods, documentation requirements and decision-making responsibilities define the role?
Shift patterns, travel, on-site attendance, accessibility and team structure matter alongside technical qualifications.
We openly discuss pay, leadership, learning opportunities and expectations, turning technical suitability into an informed decision on both sides.
Regional understanding is our starting point, not a limit. When your needs require it, we extend outreach beyond Germany. We align target countries and methods with the role, language needs and location.
Clarify technology, essential criteria, salary range and work environment. Assess regional availability and international search options together.
Combine active sourcing, personal networks and suitable recruiting channels. Agree on a targeted executive search for leadership roles.
Discuss experience, motivation and readiness to move. Coordinate technical interviews or work samples with your specialists.
Support interviews and decisions. For international searches, coordinate language needs, qualification evidence, relocation and required procedures early with the relevant bodies.
We agree on search scope, services, responsibilities and fees before you commission the search.
An employment contract alone does not create belonging. With RegioHero 360°, we are developing an approach that connects work, local orientation and personal encounters. We consider integration from the beginning of recruitment.
Together, we plan what settling in should involve: workplace contacts, local orientation, connections to local services and opportunities to meet people. We agree on available components and regional partners for your project.
PLAY4MATCH can add encounters through sport, games and conversation. Our goal is lasting participation, belonging and retention, whether new colleagues come from a neighbouring town or another country.
