I help companies build multilingual sales teams across DACH and the wider EMEA region. I spent fifteen years selling into these markets myself, so I know what a good sales hire there actually looks like.
A large agency will put a researcher on your German role who does not speak German. They will screen on the CV, because that is all they can screen on, and you will interview four people who look right on paper and cannot hold a first call with a buyer in Frankfurt.
I screen in the language the job is done in. Every candidate I send you has had a real conversation with me, in German, Dutch or English, about how they actually sell — not a fifteen-minute availability check.
You also talk to the person doing the work. No account manager, no handover, no one learning your business twice.
I work in the sectors where selling in the buyer’s own language and on their terms is what decides whether an expansion moves or stalls.
Turning founder-led selling into a first motion you can actually hire against.
Multilingual SDR and AE talent to staff client campaigns across EMEA.
Native-language commercial hires for a sector that moves fast.
Sales people who can sell credibly to regulated, trust-driven buyers.
Building out an EMEA sales team once the motion moves beyond the home market.
If you sell across borders and languages, the same principles apply.
No long onboarding, no discovery deck. The first call is a working session, not a pitch.
Thirty minutes on the role, the market, the package and who has said no to it before. Most bad searches start here.
Structure and fee agreed in writing, in the Terms of Business, before any search work begins.
Every candidate spoken to in the language of the job, with my notes on how they sell — not just what they have done.
Interview coordination, package conversations, resignation and counter-offer handled — the part where most placements are lost.
Most clients start light and grow the relationship as it earns itself. There’s no long lock-in to begin.
For one role, or to test the fit. You pay only on a successful placement. No retainer, no risk.
For niche language roles. Give me the search exclusively and I put in the depth a shared role never justifies. Better candidates, because the effort is worth making.
A committed partnership with dedicated priority, for when I’m building a team rather than filling a seat.
Fees depend on the role and the structure. I’ll walk you through them on our first call, and everything is set out in the Terms of Business before anything starts. No surprises.
If you’re hiring multilingual sales talent, or planning your move into the German-speaking market, the best place to start is a short call.
For companies that need native-language SDRs, BDRs and AEs across DACH and EMEA. Tell me the markets you’re covering and the roles you’re filling, and I’ll find people who sell the way those buyers expect to be sold to.
For US companies moving into the German-speaking market. DACH buyers want depth and proof, and they don’t respond to the fast US close. A short call with someone who has sold into these markets for fifteen years can save you months of guessing.
