I spent 7 years inside McKinsey & Company. I started my career working directly alongside (Senior) Partners and learned how top-tier decision-makers evaluate talent and performance. During this time, I consistently ranked in the top 3% to 7% within Germany.
I then moved into my core expertise: Recruiting. As a Senior Recruiter at McKinsey, I managed target university pipelines, ran interview days and led the Capstone retention program. After McKinsey, I joined ZEISS Group as a Senior Recruiter and worked directly with ex-MBB hiring managers to build teams in Corporate Strategy, Business Innovation and Ventures.
From more than 2,500 interviews and candidate conversations, I know how HR screening really works, what the benchmarks are, and why candidates fail the Personal Interview or PEI.
Many candidates prepare hard for one firm without asking if it is the right place for them. I have seen thousands of CVs and careers, so I know where people with your profile perform well, what hiring managers look for and which entry routes exist.
Today, I am the founder of Curate Futures and use that experience on both sides of the table. For professionals and for hiring managers filling a role that sets their company apart.
