What we attach great importance to

Personal connections

We focus on the human dimension. We not only bring consultants and interim experts together with companies, but also create authentic and meaningful relationships.

Customer orientation with passion

We love what we do and put our passion into action. Customer success and satisfaction are our top priority. We take on customer challenges personally and manage each request individually until it is successfully filled.

Reliable integrity

Honesty, fairness and loyalty are the basis of our network. We keep our promises and act accordingly.

Pragmatic success

We meet the need for fast, practical solutions. We act swiftly, are flexible and prefer uncomplicated exchanges.

Working in partnership to achieve joint growth

Our goal is long-term partnerships based on trust. The diversity of perspectives and skills in our network allows us to achieve great things together for our clients.

Long story short
consultingheads was founded in 2016 as a spin-off of the Prep Lounge case interview community, which specializes in preparing young graduates for entry into a top management consultancy.

Based on these contacts, consultingheads initially established itself as the leading community for up-and-coming consulting talent in German-speaking countries.

We have retained the pool of highly qualified consultants. However, our quality standards also created demand for interim experts for a wider range of sectors and qualifications. Today, we are the leading network for the successful placement of consultants and interim experts for various freelance projects and positions.

In 2021, consultingheads GmbH was spun off and sold to the current management. This development marks the latest milestone in our success story.
