conXisto GmbH

What conXisto GmbH does

conXisto is a solo human resources and leadership consulting practice based in Bamberg, Germany, operating under the trade name "conxisto by Janine Schaal" since 2013. The firm serves three distinct client groups: companies and HR departments requiring realignment of HR and recruiting structures; executives facing demanding leadership, decision, or change-management situations who need confidential sparring; and individual professionals navigating non-linear career transitions or reorientation. Despite the "GmbH" suffix in the registered designation, the business is operated as a sole proprietorship by founder Janine Schaal, with no additional employees listed in any source.

The practice delivers six interrelated service lines — strategic HR and recruiting consulting, interim support and project accompaniment, executive consulting and sparring, customized workshops and trainings, career counseling and reorientation, and individual development support — and explicitly positions against standardized solutions in favor of individually tailored, sustainability-oriented engagement. There is no proprietary technology platform, software product, or automated offering; all delivery is personal, conducted via standard productivity tooling (Microsoft 365 for email, Google Meet for online consultations, Google Calendar for self-service booking) with the corporate website hosted on Netlify.

The business operates on a pure professional services revenue model: engagements are structured as point-in-time advisory, project-based work, or longer-term accompaniment, with pricing not publicly disclosed. Distribution is entirely direct — Janine Schaal engages prospects through a non-binding initial consultation and personally delivers every engagement. Geographic scope is regional Germany, with no marketing channels beyond the company website and direct outreach, and there is no external funding, institutional ownership, partnerships, alliances, or third-party distribution.
