Many of the innovations developed by HR Consult Group AG have now become standard practice in the HR consultancy sector. The knowledge the group has accumulated over the past decades is distilled into training courses and seminars, enabling comprehensive and well-founded Training to become a recruitment consultant, which is certainly unique in Germany. With more than 250 successfully trained recruitment consultants, this constitutes a USP within the German recruitment consultancy sector.

He has now been working in HR consultancy for more than 25 years and is therefore one of the most experienced HR consultants in Germany.

His PhD in the field of aptitude assessment perfectly complements his areas of expertise, particularly with regard to HR and management consultancy.

These are covered in the book „Aptitude Testing in Practical Application“ scientifically derived and presented.

Dr Peter Buhl

Telephone: +49 (0) 89 4141 9766
Email: p.buhl@senator-partners.de
Area of expertise: Onboarding

Dr Peter Buhl is an expert in leadership development. He supports entrepreneurs, executives and management teams through change processes that are critical to success. He advises in-house human resources development departments on the design of training programmes, devises and leads leadership programmes, and supports executives, management teams and parties involved in conflicts through individual coaching.

Dr Buhl brings to his role entrepreneurial experience as CFO of a start-up, as well as over 14 years’ management experience – including at C-level. As a systemic coach and systemic organisational consultant, he is able to provide his clients with in-depth consultancy expertise. As an economist with a wide range of leadership and sector-specific experience on the one hand, and as a psychotherapist (HPG) on the other, he is able to navigate confidently the tension between results-oriented and person-centred leadership, and to identify individual success strategies for his clients that are appropriate to each situation.

At SENATOR, Dr Buhl oversees the areas of onboarding and coaching. The risks are particularly high during onboarding, when new managers are integrated into a company: both sides usually enter the process with very high expectations. Consequently, the fall is all the greater if reality fails to live up to those expectations. A tried-and-tested diagnostic tool makes it possible to identify the risk factors and eliminate them through targeted coaching. Often, coaching can even help to develop additional success factors that were not the main focus during the recruitment process.
