Scalable Talent

What Scalable Talent does

Scalable Talent operates as a Recruiter-on-Demand (RPO) service brand within CTG Consulting GmbH, part of the broader CareerTeam Group. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Hamburg, the company deploys interim recruiters into client organizations on a fixed monthly subscription basis (per recruiter, no commissions), with both individual recruiters and full teams available at four experience tiers (1-2, 2-5, 4-7, and 7+ years). Recruiters work either remotely or on-site, integrating into existing client structures and processes from day one and supporting the full hiring cycle from requirements profiling through contract negotiations.

The service spans seven functional specialization areas—IT & Data, Product & Creative, Marketing & Communications, Operations & Service, Sales & Account Management, Finance & Procurement, and Strategy & Management—supplemented by add-on services in Employer Branding, Talent Marketing, and Talent Mobility. Recruiters draw on recruiting best practices and methodologies inherited from the CareerTeam Group's track record of 1,900+ clients and 15,000+ filled positions. Operations span three offices (Hamburg, Berlin, Zürich) covering the DACH region, with reference customers including Heineken, CoMatch, Swedex, and Bench Audit across enterprise, mid-market, and startup segments.

Commercially, Scalable Talent runs a sales-led B2B go-to-market with a non-binding initial consultation, targeting companies of all sizes facing short-term recruiting capacity constraints or hiring peaks. There is no API or SaaS component—the offering is a human-powered staffing service rather than a technology platform. The legal parent is CTG Consulting GmbH, managed by Christian Scholle, Christian Bicker, and Sascha Bilen, with Phillip Winter serving as Co-Founder and MD of the Scalable Talent service line.
