FindusFinds

What FindusFinds does

FindusFinds, operating as a brand under CTG Consulting GmbH (a Hamburg-based private limited company), provides an on-demand Active Sourcing as a Service for B2B clients in the DACH region. Founded in 2022 and structured around a small core team, the company combines proprietary candidate-search algorithms with human recruiting expertise to proactively identify, contact, and qualify passive candidates on business platforms, then present them to clients for selection. It targets German-speaking enterprises across digital, IT, industrial, academic, and sales hiring needs, with public reference customers including TeamViewer, Vattenfall, Deichmann, Liebherr, Friday, Südkurier, Remazing, and iu Internationale Hochschule.

The core product, "Active Sourcing as a Service," is delivered through a structured five-step process: job description submission, set-up and strategy, candidate search, technology-enabled qualification, and candidate handoff. Supporting offerings include Candidate Selection, Direct Talent Outreach, Employer Branding, and Scalable Recruitment Processes for full department build-outs. The technology stack centers on advanced search and matching algorithms applied across business platforms, integrated with third-party systems including eRecruiter (ATS), Pipedrive (CRM), Google Meet, Tawk.to, Hotjar, and Google Analytics, plus LinkedIn for advertising and conversion tracking. AI/ML usage is limited to algorithmic matching and process automation; no proprietary models, research output, or patents are disclosed, and human recruiters perform the final qualification step.

FindusFinds uses a sales-led, consultative go-to-market with a pay-as-you-go pricing model: clients pay a fixed price per qualified candidate conversation they choose to conduct, plus a one-time success fee after client selection. Distribution is direct (website contact form, phone, email) with no channel partners or resellers, and sales are led by Managing Director Tim Wagener. The company is privately held, reports no external funding, and does not disclose revenue figures. FindusFinds sits within a broader CTG Consulting portfolio alongside CareerTeam, PALTRON, alphacoders, Foxio Consulting, Numeris Consulting, and Sinceritas, providing potential operational and cross-selling synergies.

Revenue model

1. Active Sourcing Service - Fixed Conversation Fee: Clients pay a fixed price for each conversation with a qualified candidate identified through the platform. The company analyses job descriptions, develops individual search strategies, contacts candidates on business platforms, and conducts qualification checks. Payment is triggered only when the client decides to speak with presented candidates.
2. Success Fee: A one-time success-based commission is charged after the client selects candidates following the qualification and presentation phase. This aligns incentives with client outcomes.
