Recruiting and career coaching from Straubing — with over 20 years of total experience, modern processes, and a clear promise: no mass emails, no call centers, only real work.
Remote-first, async-friendly, results-driven — we work seamlessly across time zones.
Whether you’re hiring in the US or expanding your European footprint, we’ve got you covered.
You have good positions — but not the right candidates.
Your last headhunter delivered — but not what you actually needed.
For over 20 years I have supported companies and professionals in recruiting, executive search, and career coaching.
I work across Germany and internationally — with an established network of specialists in HR and IT.
My clients: industrial manufacturing, mechanical engineering, plant engineering, energy, transportation, electronics, defense, production.
20 years of total recruiting experience at the core. AI as the execution layer. That is the difference between technology and expertise.
AI can do a lot. But AI without context is like GPS without maps — it calculates, but doesn’t find the way. What I bring is not a tool I use. It is a system I have built over years — with my experience as the foundation and AI as the speed.
Not searching doesn’t mean not being found.
The best candidates are rarely actively job hunting. We find them anyway — through systematic sourcing that doesn’t wait for someone to click a button.
No noise, only signal.
Mismatched profiles waste time — yours and mine. Matching runs in a structured way before a profile ever reaches my desk. What you see fits.
First response — without waiting.
Candidates get immediate feedback, even when I’m not available by phone. I decide afterwards. The momentum is never lost.
You always know where the mandate stands.
No “we’ll get back to you.” Clients receive ongoing updates — which steps are running, what comes next, where decisions are needed. Transparency is not an extra — it is standard.
Fast, clear, complete.
Candidates and clients receive information that actually lands — not wrapped in platitudes, not too late, not incomplete.
Little effort for you, a lot happening behind the scenes.
A mandate doesn’t run itself. But it should feel that way to you. The operational effort on your side is minimal — I handle the rest.
Your data stays with us.
No third-party providers, no cloud services without control. All data runs through my own infrastructure. That’s not a promise — it’s architecture.
AI proposes. I decide.
No candidate is forwarded without my judgment. No mandate runs without my assessment. AI takes care of speed and structure. The responsibility stays with me.
Experience is the difference.
What AI learns from me doesn’t come from a dataset. It comes from 20 years of working with people, mandates, and decisions — across all industries and at all levels. That cannot be bought.
Let’s talk — concrete, no sales pitch.
Recruiting needs speed — without sacrificing precision. That’s why I’ve expanded my approach with a proprietary system of AI-assisted processes: HORNET. Not a sales argument, but my daily tool. It researches, analyzes, and prepares — I talk with people, decide, and take responsibility. The result: faster searches, broader market coverage, and still always one point of contact — me personally.
The search for suitable candidates, which used to take days, now takes hours. Because research runs automatically — not because I cut corners.
I see more candidates than before — because AI-assisted research evaluates sources that would simply be unreachable manually. You get candidates presented to you that other headhunters simply don’t find.
You always have me as your contact — not a system, not a team of strangers. HORNET works for me. I work for you. The responsibility is clearly with me.
AS YOUR PARTNER IN TALENT ACQUISITION, WE OFFER INDIVIDUAL SOLUTIONS TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS.
There are many offerings in recruiting and executive search. I adapt. Every company differs in size, industry, structure, processes, and budget. My proposals are individually tailored to your possibilities.
Both corporations like E.ON and local mid-sized companies with fewer than 200 employees receive services with a high return on investment and a fair compensation model.
“We were facing growing challenges filling open positions. The agile recruiting solution was a game changer: three top candidates plus a perfect spin-off within four months. Along with a pricing model that saved us 60 % in fees. We recommend this service without reservation.”
MOST COMPANIES UNDERESTIMATE THE REAL COST OF A VACANCY.
Salary, productivity loss, team burden, onboarding — my calculator makes the real costs visible in 60 seconds. Free, anonymous, immediately actionable.
Ready to eliminate these costs?
I’ll find your next candidate — faster than you expect.
You’re good at your job — but ready for the next step.
You’re considering a move — but not a blind leap.
PERSONAL COACHING FOR CANDIDATES AND JOB SEEKERS. WE LEAVE NO ONE BEHIND. PROMISE.
Professional communication is a given for us — not only in coaching, but in recruiting as well. All applicants receive feedback. Ghosting? Doesn’t happen here.
Applicants also receive valuable interview briefings and application tips. Free of charge, of course — a preview of my career coaching.
“The entire process was clearly structured, transparent, and tailored to my situation. Stefan immediately understood my specialization and strategically incorporated it into my positioning. Shortly after the coaching I found a new position as Design Strategist in Turin. In retrospect, the coaching was a decisive building block.”

★★★★★“Anyone seeking clarity about their next career step will find Mr. Stankowic to be the perfect person to talk to, in my opinion. Many thanks for the clear insights and structured guidance.”
I founded PARAX because I wanted to do recruiting differently — more honestly, more structured, without the call center game. After more than 20 years in the industry I know: most problems in talent acquisition don’t arise from lack of effort, but from missing structure and poor communication. I’m not a corporation, not a team of twenty people — I’m one person who knows your case, knows your name, and responds to you directly. That’s not a disadvantage. That’s the model.
Career, recruiting, and the job market — evidence-based, practical, no fluff.
