What we offer

Hiring for in-house roles

We find right experts in data and IT-infrastructure for your internal team.

Fit

We focus on cultural and motivational fit from the start, so every hire becomes a long-term asset. A mismatched hire is costly. That’s why we help you avoid hiring someone who looks good on paper but isn’t here to stay.

Accountability

Our CEO is local, ready to sit down with you onsite, understand the business context first-hand, and shape hiring around the role your company really needs. It’s about looking beyond a job description and making sure candidates match the reality of your business. We don’t want to give just another off-the-shelf CV. Do you?

Pricing

Your company grows in stages, so hiring needs shift along. That’s why we offer diverse service models: pay-per-hire, pay-per-interview, or subscription. Choose the option that best fits your current needs.

Expertise

Data engineers, analysts, DevOps, AI specialists: these roles are our strongest track record. We also keep a constant pool of actively looking data candidates, so you can often receive fitting CVs within hours.

Engagement

Most startups don’t have the name recognition of BMW or SAP and that’s okay. We pitch your story directly to candidates and show them why your mission is worth choosing over bigger, well-known employers. We amplify your employer brand in every personal conversation with candidates.

Carefully selected data & infrastructure experts
We connect you with skilled data engineers and system administrators in your region. Available for hybrid setups or regular on-site visits, from junior to senior level.

billing models to fit your business needs

Our service & billing

We offer employment support through three service models, always focused on quality and fit. More than 85% of our placements stay long-term in client teams.
Pay-per-Hire
You pay only when a hire signs. We manage sourcing, screening, and shortlist delivery. 

Guarantee: If a hire leaves within probation, we refill at no extra cost. 

Pricing: 15–30% of annual gross salary (approx. €10–15k for most IT roles). 

Best for: Occasional hires where you want a risk-free entry to collaboration.
Pay-per-Interview
You pay only when a candidate joins a live interview with you. 

Guarantee: We invoice only for interviews you’ve confirmed and that actually take place. 

Pricing: €900–3,000 per interview, depending on seniority and language skills. 

Best for: Teams with strong branding who want cost control and prefer to handle final hiring themselves.
Subscription 
Flat monthly fee for continuous recruiting support. We integrate with your team, align on goals, and deliver a rolling candidate pipeline and employer brand upgrades. 

Guarantee: Weekly check-ins and performance tracking. 

Pricing: Case-based. Example: €3,500/month for end-to-end hiring of 3 mid-level data consultants in 9 months. 

Best for: Companies planning multiple hires over 3+ months, especially with limited HR capacity.

How do we turn your vacancy into a teammate who stays?

Through our structured five-step process, we align business needs, technical fit, and personal motivation. So you hire someone who grows with you and succeeds long-term.

Requirements

We start by defining the role together with you. Instead of just repeating a job description, we help shape it into something the market understands and candidates find realistic.

For example, a Data Engineer with strong SQL and Python may cover most of your cloud needs, while a SysAdmin can often run your infrastructure without every possible certification.  

Outputs: a clear job brief, requirements separated into must-haves and nice-to-haves, realistic language expectations, and a framework for hybrid work.  

Value: accountability. We align the role with your business needs and the realities of the talent market.

Sourcing

We don’t stop at job ads or LinkedIn. We reach candidates where they’re active: on GitHub, Xing, Indeed, niche boards, and in local communities.

For example, finding a SysAdmin in Munich might mean discovering someone who shares their expertise in a forum, even if their LinkedIn looks inactive. We search broadly but always deliver a focused shortlist.

Outputs: a sourcing strategy, an initial shortlist of 2–4 qualified candidates, and the foundation for hidden-gem searches.

Value: expertise. Broader reach, faster access to talent, and a strong focus on Southern Germany.

Engagement

We present your company so candidates understand why it’s worth joining. This includes a clear role pitch and an employer value summary that highlight your work, team, and culture.

For example, when hiring a Data Engineer, we emphasize your product’s impact, tech stack, and learning opportunities. This way, candidates see more than just tasks and salary.

Outputs: a role pitch, a one-page overview of your employer value, and candidate FAQs.

Value: engagement and fit. We attract motivated candidates who share your values and filter out the rest early.

Qualification

We conduct structured interviews with candidates who already meet the basic requirements. Hard skills are checked against the role criteria, and we apply a soft-skills framework that evaluates communication, teamwork, and client-facing ability.

For example, when assessing a SysAdmin, we test not only how they handle a server issue but also how they explain the fix to non-technical colleagues.

Outputs: a skills checklist, soft-skill scores, a language assessment, and optional case tasks or reference calls with previous employers.

Value: fit and expertise. We ensure candidates are strong both technically and culturally.

Final Rounds

Only candidates who meet all requirements make it to this stage. You receive a complete profile package including the CV, skills results, soft-skill notes, motivation, strengths, and potential risks.

We adapt to your preferred communication style, whether by email, Teams, or WhatsApp, and take care of interview scheduling. All you need to do is confirm the time and focus on your evaluation.

Outputs: interview package, scheduling support, debrief notes, and offer support (for pay-per-hire or subscription models).

Value: accountability and flexibility. For pay-per-interview, we hand over the candidate; in other models, we stay involved through hiring and onboarding.

Head of Business Intelligence at Oliva Advisory GmbH:

As a consultancy, it is particularly important for us to find talented employees. Oliva Talent Management does an excellent job and finds outstanding experts for us at a fair price.

Data & Machine Learning Consultant

My experience with OTM was excellent. The recruiter who approached me was kind, approachable, and highly professional, which left me with a very positive impression of both them and the job opportunity.  From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, efficient, and handled with great professionalism. I genuinely can't think of anything that could have gone better

Data Engineer Consultant

My experience with OTM was great! The way the recruiter engaged me on LinkedIn made me immediately interested in learning more. During our initial call, the recruiter's positive energy and comprehensive overview of both the company and the position gave me a good feeling about the opportunity and really helped me understand if it was the right fit. The entire process moved quickly and felt well-coordinated - I was connected with the company for interviews shortly after.

Business Intelligence Consultant

I was very impressed with OTM’s ability to find the right people that fit a job profile exactly. I was contacted by an OTM recruiter while I was still living in another country and planning my move to Munich and the job ended up fitting my profile very well. My interview experience was very smooth and efficient and my positive experience with OTM made me feel excited about starting my position as a BI consultant at Oliva Advisory

Business Intelligence Consultant

The hiring process was very smooth and efficient. Only hours after being contacted via LinkedIn I could schedule a first get-to-know interview with an OTM hirer. Not soon after, my contract was signed. OTM did an amazing job providing not only a fast hiring process but as well finding a job fitting exactly to my expertise profile.
