OUR SERVICE IN NUMBERS
Hires delivered across Munich and Berlin.
Appointments made through retained search, reflecting the seniority of the roles.
Years of partnership, running since 2021.
The Challenge
At AutoScout24, product and design leadership hiring is every bit as competitive as engineering.
Senior appointments across product, design and engineering management had to be filled in two of Germany’s most contested technology markets.
The seniority of the roles meant conventional contingent search was rarely enough.
The Solution
Trust in SODA has supported the business since 2021, working across both Munich and Berlin.
Retained search was used for the most senior mandates, alongside permanent hiring for engineering and product roles.
Coverage spanned engineering management, product ownership, UX and product design, UX research and SEO.
- Retained search for senior product and design leadership
- Permanent hiring across engineering and product
- Delivery across both Munich and Berlin
The Outcome
The partnership has delivered 60 hires in Germany.
36 of those came through retained search, reflecting the seniority of the roles involved, alongside 23 permanent and one contract appointment.
