Frequently asked questions

What exactly does DP @Xperts do?

+

DP @Xperts combines organizational development with targeted recruitment for medium-sized companies in the consumer goods industry.
In plain language: We help you to clarify structures, roles and processes — and then fill vacant key positions with talents that really move you forward.

For which companies is DP @Xperts the right partner?

+

We work primarily for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), often in families. Our industry focus is on consumer goods segments, such as toys, outdoor furniture, home & living, fashion and related industries.
Companies that are in the midst of change are typical: More digitalization, new business models — but limited internal resources for organizational development and professional recruiting.

How does a typical project work with you?

+

It starts with a clear initial discussion: Together, we look at your starting position, your agenda for the future and the specific role and personnel requirements.
Based on this, we agree on a streamlined and efficient approach — from workshops and sparring to organization to a search assignment with a defined shortlist and support for selection interviews.

How quickly do we see first results?

+

You will usually notice the first effects after a few weeks, for example through clearer responsibilities, adapted processes or specific search profiles for key positions.
Experience has shown that filling important roles takes several weeks — depending on profile, market and speed of decision-making. Our goal is to recruit quickly and agilely.

How does DP @Xperts differ from traditional service providers?

+

You work directly with an experienced former CEO who knows the challenges faced by consumer goods SMEs from his many years of practice.
In contrast to many consultants, we always look at organization & recruiting together so that new employees really fit into the culture, structures and goals of your company and have a lasting effect.

What does the next step look like for us?

+

If you would like to check whether cooperation makes sense, arrange a non-binding initial consultation with us.
You will receive an honest assessment of your current situation and a specific suggestion as to how we can support you — pragmatically and in a manner that is close to implementation — in organization and recruiting.
