A positive working environment is important to us. That’s why we always look for candidates who would really fit into our team and take time during the application process to get to know each other.

How to apply to HCM ADVICE:

Upload your CV by following the link under the relevant vacancy or send us your complete application by e-mail (including CV, school and training certificates, photo as well as your salary expectations and preferred weekly hours) to hcm@hcm-advice.com.

We will review your documents carefully.

If you meet the necessary requirements, you will be asked to attend our assessment center.

Following a successful assessment center, you will be invited to further interviews with managers and/or future colleagues.

The final decision is then made by the team.

Assessment Center

What can you expect at our Assessment Center? We have grown rapidly in recent years and have perfected our recruitment process to enable us and our applicants to get a good idea of whether or not working together makes sense. The aim of the assessment center is not to put you in a stressful situation but rather to give us and you the opportunity to determine whether HCM ADVICE is right fit. Please allow between three and four hours for the assessment center. You will be given some tasks that you will be asked to solve on your own. Afterwards we will go through your results together and you will receive immediate feedback. The next step will be a more in-depth interview where we can get to know you better and you also have the opportunity to ask questions about the company and the role itself.

Openness, value and respect – that is what makes our application process stand out!

Why do we include certificates and an assessment center in our recruitment process? High achievers like to work with high achievers. That’s we always pay close attention to the credentials of our applicants during the recruitment processes. While grades and qualifications don’t tell us everything about an individual applicant, they do give us an idea of your knowledge and strengths. For us, it’s particularly important to be able to recognise your development throughout your school, university and professional training.

The Assessment Center helps us and you to determine the extent of your professional know-how. Assessment will vary depending on the level of the position you are applying for.

We look forward to receiving your application!

What makes working at HCM ADVICE so special?
„I love the people and the company culture here at HCM ADVICE. Everyone is really nice and always there for you, if you need help! Whether it’s the colleagues or the management itself – really, everyone takes care of each other.

I also really appreciate the feedback culture, that you are always actively asked for feedback! For example, it is not only the manager who gives feedback to the employees, but feedback on management skills, etc. is also requested from the employees by the manager.

The work in the consulting department is also really exciting. I particularly appreciate the high level of trust placed in me and the fact that I am always given support, even with new, more challenging tasks.“

Can you describe the contact with your customers?
„Relationships with customers can vary:

• With some customers I am very polite, very professional
• But with other customers I have a more personal relationship and can be more familiar

However, what is always the same is:

• The customer has a challenge and we are the “saviors“ with the solutions 😊
• This could be a major new implementation or optimization project or spontaneously occurring errors
• Most of the time, the customer is happy and very grateful for our work – it’s a good feeling to know that your work really does make other people’s lives easier“

What are your next career goals at HCM ADVICE?
„Management of HCM ADVICE Germany“

Do you have a tip for me as an applicant?

• „Either you are someone who likes to think deeply about technical challenges or someone who enjoys dealing with people but is also looking for a cognitive challenge, then this job is for you
• You solve problems upon which sometimes thousands of people depend and carry a great responsibility! If that‘s exciting for you, then this job is for you
• You can be completely relaxed during the application process, because we have the coolest and nicest recruiting team ever
• Be yourself and stay authentic throughout the application process, after all, we want to get to know you, as you really are 😊“

What does your typical day look like?
„A typical day here begins with the view of St. Stephen’s Cathedral from our beautiful, modern offices, which is a reason for our positive mindset. Once the laptop and additional monitors are turned on, it’s time to read e-mails and prioritize the topics for the day. From then on, the day looks like a colorful bouquet of various different flowers, with a combination of customer appointments, system implementations, internal meetings, and e-mails – whereby each flower blooms at a different time of the day and needs your attention. Between the blooms we enjoy a coffee or a tea and eat lunch together, to recharge our batteries.“

How were your fist weeks at HCM ADVICE?
„My start here was better than I could ever have imagined! I received constant support from my mentor, was immediately involved in customer topics, and learned something new every day (which is still the case). I instantly felt just as accepted and appreciated by my new colleagues here as back in my home country of Bulgaria.“

What does the cooperation within the team look like?
„We constantly support each other, so that we can all improve and develop personally together.“

What properties should a future colleague bring to the job?
„Ambition, motivation, a desire to face new challenges, willingness to learn, communication skills, flexibility.“

How would you describe the company culture?
„At HCM ADVICE everyone is on an equal footing. We work accurately and enjoy doing a good job and overcoming challenges together. The working atmosphere is excellent, I have the feeling that I am part of a company, where everyone is pulling together and enjoying it, too. Company events together also connect us and strengthen our friendly rapport.“

How are the opportunities for further development in the company?
„Each person can decide themself the direction in which they wish to develop – whether to develop themself as an expert in their own specialist area, manage increasingly large projects as a project manager, or build his or her team of employees.

Everyone has the opportunity to take on responsibility and grow. Anyone who is motivated and delivers outstanding results receives direct feedback – those efforts are recognized and promoted.

In my three years at the company, I have learned an unbelievable amount, both professionally as well as personally. More than once I have gone beyond my comfort zone and mastered challenges that have also brought me further in my career.“

Is your everyday life as a consultant stressful?
„The working day is demanding but not overwhelming. Everyone decides themself the extent to which he or she utilizes their own capacities. All in all, my working day is quite balanced and I still feel full of energy after work.

In the end phase of projects there is, of course, always a lot to do, but I grow with every successfully completed project. The knowledge that we always support each other in the team ultimately makes every challenge doable.“

What do you like most about your work?
„It is difficult to single out one point, so here are my top three:

• The varied and exciting tasks that challenge my problem-solving skills
• My motivated colleagues, with whom it is a joy to work
• The trust and flexibility that I am given in the execution of my work“

What makes us special?

Being part of the HCM ADVICE team means cooperation in its best sense – where people help those who help them, maintaining an equal balance of give and take.

Our team at HCM ADVICE is characterized by high levels of people skills, motivation and professional know-how. Teamwork is very important to us. Every voice is heard, no matter how junior or senior. Our managers take on mentoring roles to support our junior consultants in taking on responsibility and getting to know various tasks, projects and tools. Our consultants regularly exchange in-depth knowledge and expertise to develop new ideas and solutions.

Some hard facts why we have fun working at HCM ADVICE:

• We work in a calm, concentrated, and focused manner. Even during stressful busy periods, we never work against each other but always support each other.
• Our projects are feasibly calculated, and our project teams are always carefully put together. While there will always be stressful and unpredictable situations in project work, we always calculate projects fairly for our customers and employees.
• Because we employ driven, ambitious people, who expect further training and development, we actively encourage and support this.
• We are a team of young, highly motivated and smart individuals. Our flat hierarchy means that decisions can be made and implemented quickly and that employees are treated equally across all levels of the company. Having an open-door policy and “you culture” are not just buzzwords, but a living reality that distinguishes us from other employers.
• Our working days are planned in such a way that we can work efficiently, but also have time for lunch and coffee breaks together.

Teamwork is the foundation of our success!

About Us

Our CEO :

“When I go to HCM ADVICE each morning, I look forward to seeing my employees. It’s great to see how motivated they work for our clients, how well they develop and how much we all learn from each other. “New Work” i.e. an open, friendly culture, is not just a concept but is something we live out every day.

I founded HCM ADVICE in 2009, after many years’ experience in SAP Human Capital Management working as a management consultant, a personnel officer, an interim manager, and in corporate finance. We started out working with some of my former clients and through their positive feedback and referrals, we have been growing steadily ever since. We welcome motivated candidates, or rather the next generation of HCM ADVICE managers, who want to build up and expand the company with us.”

In the following Video, our CEO talks about the exciting origins of HCM ADVICE. You will learn more about why high-quality services are our top priority and why our company philosophy is “friendly, professional and customer-oriented”.
