Stellenwert Gmbh & Co. Kg

What Stellenwert Gmbh & Co. Kg does

Stellenwert GmbH & Co. KG is a German IT and digitalization recruitment consultancy headquartered in Oldenburg, founded in 2021 as a spin-off from an established Northwest German recruitment agency. The firm specializes in placing specialists and managers across IT and digitalization roles, with its core geographic focus on Northwest Germany while remaining open to over-regional projects. Its client base spans both enterprise and mid-market employers seeking permanent, temporary, and executive talent. The company operates a consultant-led matching model rather than an automated platform, relying on domain expertise in IT hiring.

Its service portfolio combines four revenue streams: direct permanent placement, temporary staffing, Master Vendor managed-service programs, and Executive Search. Distribution is hybrid: a regional direct sales motion anchored in Oldenburg, complemented by a digital job portal hosting approximately 38 active vacancies and the Stellen-Radar email job-alert subscription system that drives inbound candidate flow. The firm also maintains a referral-based relationship with timecon, leveraging the sister-company's network to cross-route candidates and clients across adjacent recruitment verticals.

Commercially, Stellenwert is paid by employers via placement fees (typical percentage of first-year salary for permanent roles), markups on temporary contractor billings, and managed-service economics under Master Vendor contracts. The firm has formalized its operating setup with an appointed Data Protection Officer (Sven Friesenborg) to address GDPR obligations, and is led by sole managing director Linda Heitmann (Diplom-Ökonomin). Headcount is reported at 11-50 employees, consistent with an early-scaling regional recruitment boutique.
