German CEO Excellence Awards 2023

14. Best Recruitment Entrepreneur 2023 (Bayern): Philipp Erik Breitenfeld Jan23691 “Our name is our mission: At Humanus, the focus is on people.” Humanus has a dream to refocus recruitment on its most central element, people. Because, ultimately, there’s only so much technological implementation and processes and data can do when it comes to finding the right person for a job. You need to understand people, what they want, what they need, and what they are looking for in their ideal company. As a recruitment company, you are the middle man, juggling clients and their individual needs alongside potential recruits – it’s challenging, and it is so very easy to become so results-focused that you lose sight of the people at the middle of it all. Yet, Humanus and Philipp have created an impressive reputation through managing the hectic day to day with an unwavering focus and dedication on the people it serves. And in this goal, the results speak for themselves, as Philipp explains. “Our goal is the sustainable placement of workers from other EU countries in the first German Labour market. In the past -almost- 10 years we have successfully had over 4000 Specialists recruited and placed sustainably. Tailored to the individual, we train candidates and take over the entire needs of our customers bureaucratic process and intercultural communication. “We are currently an employer for 700 people and, on the one hand, take on consciously responsibility towards our applicants as well as towards those asking for help companies on the other side. Our know-how, our competence and the enthusiasm for what we do is what makes our expertise so convincing. Our values, the three Pillars of Humanus, are attitude, perseverance, and innovation.” While Humanus specialises predominantly in temporary recruitment solutions, it has made a significant impact in the permanent placement market too, cultivating a robust and close-knit network of expert partners across the greater European market. After all, as Philipp rightly explains, there can be an aspect of insecurity when hiring temporary positions – and many are looking to avoid such insecurity in this post-pandemic market – so Humanus finds “skilled workers that can be taken on permanently if necessary, which helps secure the future of every company in this challenging environment.” Recruitment is all about people, that much at least is undoubtable for those in the industry. Success relies on an ability to understand people, alongside business culture and the individual needs of the clients they serve. As Managing Director/CEO of Humanus Personalservice GmbH. (Humanus), Philipp Erik Breitenfeld has taken a person-centred approach to a whole new level – let’s take a deep dive into the company to find out more. All in all, this is really where Humanus excels: creating security and peace of mind at a time when many companies can’t expend the resources. The company takes the lead, and shoulders the responsibility with notable flexibility to best serve its client’s needs. “We are: Temporary work redefined. Is it about flexibility or effectiveness? Can capacities be maintained or even increased? No matter how, no matter what: we are there when you need us!” “We understand that recruitment is a stressful process, and in the best sense, we position ourselves as all inclusive. If you wish, we can take over every step of the recruitment process. From employee leasing to direct placement to on-site management (master vendor contract), outsourcing, trainee search. We want our employees to be happy. That's why we don't just hire workers, we also fight for their rights. We offer exciting jobs that are challenging but also fun. By creating and encouraging this mindset and culture, we attract ‘experts who burn’ – people defined entirely by reliability, professional competence and willingness to learn, that’s the criteria we primarily use to recruit “our” employees. Where there is a talent gap in the market, we aim to train, and train, and train people to become hands-on specialists. We give language courses, provide apartments, and we take care of personal matters. That’s Humanus, that’s ethical recruiting.” There’s little doubt as to why Humanus has pioneered a new movement on the German occupational landscape. Through its ethical centre, to its steadfast and unwavering commitment to best serving people on all sides of the process, it has become a pillar of the market, a pacesetter. In this ever-changing post-pandemic world, we need businesses like Humanus to establish benchmarks and best practices for others to follow. These businesses are vital as we look to shift paradigms in this new corporate world – innovation and creativity are vital tools on which to build ‘better’ in the recruitment sphere. By all regards, the recognition in the EU Business Awards is well-deserved and well-won, with Philipp acting as an innovator for recruitment on a global scale. Watch this space, and watch how Humanus grows over the coming few years. Exciting things are ahead, we’re sure.
