Industry-specific Expertise
Automotive
Industry 4.0 / 5.0, connectivity, autonomous car, electric drive, powertrain, interior, exterior, emission controls, safety systems
The Automotive industry is still a key driver in the radical economic and societal transitions that the world is currently undergoing. Thoughts that were valid a short while ago are now being questioned.In order to remain the engine of prosperity, automotive industry must lead the digital and green transitions.
Software, Technology & Platforms
SaaS, Software, Internet of Things (IoT), Infrastructure/Networks, Cloud, Analytics, Big Data, AI
The most important characteristics in future-oriented tech companies differ from those demanded in traditional industries. Understanding new markets, agile change and the needs of young consumers replace traditional leadership skills. In this regard, the 3C Team keeps pace with the latest trends and uses its international network.
Cybersecurity
The trend is clear: Companies prefer to invest in software protecting them from hacker attacks than in people who develop counter strategies and security measures. It is time to rethink: 3C helps you to recruit highly qualified experts for this special area.

CFO, Finance Manager, Controller, Operations Manager, Head of Compliance
In the financial sector, decision makers must meet the highest requirements. They need cross-sectoral expertise in asset planning, M&A, investor relations, taxes and corporate governance. 3C specializes in finance recruitment and will support you in building powerful teams of top financial experts.
HR Management, Compensation & Benefits, People Develop-ment, Talent Acquisition, Chief People Officer
The most valuable asset of a company is its employees – that is not a scoop. But who is actually in charge of the acquisition, the engagement and career development of top talents in the company? It requires the best experts from the human resources department – a recruiting task for 3C.
