Hiring done right.
So you can grow your team with confidence.

Most recruiting support is either too slow, too expensive, or too generic.
We work differently - understanding your specific context and focused on the roles that matter most at your stage of growth.
We act as your fractional / recruitment process outsourcing partner (RPO) if you like:
building processes, running searches and advising on hiring decisions - whether you're a scaling startup, an ambitious SME or a mission-driven non-profit.
Pricing consists of a set-up fee at project start and a fixed success fee upon placement. In general, you can assume a total cost of 5,000 to 15,000 Euro per position. We share exact fees after our initial call as they depend on your context and the positions you are seeking to fill.
Hourly-based engagement - between 90 and 180 Euro per hour depending on project size, complexity and our involved team members.
Scope and guidelines on monthly amount of hours aligned upfront and continuous reporting on used hours in a shared document - no surprises. Flexible contract with monthly cancellation option.
"We worked with Julia to improve our recruiting and performance processes. She has been spot on with our needs and has made a huge impact in a short space of time. Julia brings an extreme amount of relevant experience and was able to communicate this very well.
We therefore decided to book her for trainings for the whole organisation as well, which was also super successful. I think every single person was able to learn something from her."
"Julia came on board to build our initial HR setup. As HR is a broad field it was a big challenge when she joined but she exceeded my expectations when it comes to setting priorities and executing together with the team. She is a pragmatic strategist and goes beyond what is asked of her. I would recommend any growth organization to work with her!"
"Julia Reis is a very experienced, hands-on consultant who easily adapts to new topics and structures. She helped us achieve 100% growth annually for the last two years.
We are particularly impressed by her high degree of integrity, ingenuity in problem-solving, and passion for training us.
Julia is very trustworthy and I strongly recommend her services, especially for part-time or temporary needs."

"We’ve worked with Julia Reis Consulting multiple times now, and each collaboration has been exceptionally efficient, professional and reliable. The recruiting process was handled with great professionalism. Julia and Charlotte were always quick to respond and supported proactively. I would happily work with them again and highly recommend their services!”
"We worked with Julia Reis and her team at a time when we needed to professionalize our existing structures. To this end, we benefited greatly from their extensive experience in the field of employer branding and their ability to set up all necessary structures. Especially in the definition and implementation of a recruiting process and the selection of the right tools, we arrived at a functioning solution without any detours."

We offer two core engagement models.
With our Classic Search, we act as your dedicated external recruiting partner for a specific role — owning sourcing, screening and candidate presentation as well as supporting your decision-making from start to finish.
With Embedded Recruiting (RPO / fractional support), we integrate fully into your organisation and run recruiting end-to-end, just like an internal team: inside your ATS, managing your full pipeline, co-designing interviews and supporting hiring managers throughout.
Both models can be extended with add-ons such as ATS selection and implementation, process optimisation or onboarding support which all belong to our talent acquisition consulting offers.
We mostly work with tech-driven companies between 5 and 300 employees — typically at a growth or reorganisation stage where hiring is business-critical but internal People & Culture capacity is limited. This includes start-ups, scale-ups, company builders and VCs but also forward-thinking SMEs.
Due to our team's earlier professional background, we also regularly support nonprofit organisations in their hiring.
Geographically speaking we are focused on Germany and Austria when it comes to hiring.
We offer two models:
- Classic Search:
A set-up fee at project start plus a fixed success fee upon placement. Total cost typically ranges from €5,000 to €15,000 per position, depending on role complexity and context. Exact fees for your case are shared after an initial call.
We deliberately decided against a fee based on the candidate's salary to keep the costs as transparent as possible for you and remove any possible doubts about our independence when choosing between different candidates.
- Embedded Recruiting:
Hourly-based, between €90 and €180 per hour depending on project size, complexity and team involved. Monthly hours are agreed upfront and tracked in a shared document — no surprises. Flexible contract with a monthly cancellation option.
It comes down to three things: how many roles you're hiring for, how much internal recruiting capacity you have, and how embedded you want us to be.
Classic Search is the right fit if you have a specific, well-defined role to fill and want a dedicated external partner to run that search — without us becoming part of your day-to-day operations. It works well for one-off or occasional (senior) hires where the stakes are high and you need a rigorous, structured process you can trust.
Embedded Recruiting makes more sense if you're in a sustained hiring phase, have multiple open roles running in parallel, or simply want recruiting to feel like an internal function — without the overhead of a permanent hire. We work inside your ATS / recruiting software, manage your full pipeline and become a genuine part of your team for as long as you need us. The monthly cancellation option means you stay flexible.
These questions typically help clarify the decision:
- One role or several?
Classic Search for focused searches; Embedded for ongoing volume.
- Do you have internal recruiting capacities?
If yes, a Classic Search might be sufficient. If no, Embedded Recruiting could support you better along the whole recruitment process and if you like also help you set up your own professional recruiting processes for the future.
- How involved do you want us to be day-to-day?
Classic Search is outcome-focused; Embedded is fully integrated.

Our average time-to-hire is 6–10 weeks. We run a tight, transparent process — so you always know where things stand, and strong candidates don't drop off because of slow feedback loops. In most cases, you will be able to interview your first potential candidates within 10 to 20 days of kicking-off your search with us.
But honestly, the time-to-hire not only depends on us and the candidate market but also on your responsiveness and collaboration style. When it all matches, we've have also been able to hire in under four weeks in selected cases.
With a conversation. We regularly work with founders who are still running hiring themselves. Book a free 30-minute call — we'll quickly identify what you actually need and what will have the most impact at your stage.
A few things. We bring our consultant mindset to recruiting — every search starts with a detailed briefing session in which we aim to fully understand your context and the required role profile as well as aligning on all other relevant aspects of our collaboration. We then move fast without cutting corners (average time-to-hire: 6–10 weeks). But: we always prioritise candidate quality over sheer speed.
And because we've spent years working inside and with organisations and leadership teams, we understand roles at a depth most recruiters don't. We treat every search as if it were our own hire — which also means having honest discussions about the right candidate with you, even if this might lead to extra work for us.
The Embedded Recruiting model offers a flexible contract with a monthly cancellation option — so you're not locked into a long-term commitment. In Classic Search the set-up fee is non-refundable once the search has been kicked off.
Yes - and this is often where we add the most value. If you're scaling fast and hiring reactively, we'll help you put the right foundations in place: scorecards, structured interviews, candidate journeys, and tooling. Most of our clients see faster time-to-hire and stronger retention after working with us on this.
Book a free 30-minute call. We'll listen, ask a few direct questions and give you an honest view of how we can help — or whether someone else might serve you better.
