What makes PRCC Personalberatung unique

We have worked as communicators / marketeers ourselves

Managing Partners Thomas Lüdeke and Philip Müller know communication first-hand. Before founding PRCC Personalberatung in 2010, they worked as communication consultants themselves and got to know various industries and disciplines. All PRCC employees previously held positions in PR and advertising agencies, marketing and corporate communications.

We have a network of contemporary candidates

Diversity, agility, digitisation… the world of marketing and communication is changing – and with it the demands on executives and experts. PRCC has access to the top candidates with the appropriate mindset and skillset – because they are our peer group, because PRCC is a strong brand among these people and because we actively cultivate our networks, for example through our “Modern Leaders” initiative.

We are transparent and reliable - and advisors to the core

Sometimes it is the obvious things that make the difference. For us, contemporary search consulting means: transparency instead of a black box, commitment instead of promises, modern methods instead of a worn-out address book. We are committed service providers, sparring partners and consultants. We set out to modernise search consultancy ten years ago – the positive feedback from our clients confirms time and time again that we are following the right path.

We understand digitalisation - as added value for recruiting

The digital transformation comes with many benefits for recruiting: we use digital networks, AI-supported matching, and a dynamic database. To ensure that we are always fully up to date on what skills candidates must have today, we rely on intensive exchange – with candidates, companies and with progressive partners, such as our sister company Deutsche Akademie für Public Relations (DAPR).
