Matthias Barhainski is a partner in our centres of expertise for Automotive & E-Mobility, Construction / Technical Building Services (TGA) / Facility Management (FM) and Mechanical Engineering.
He is also our specialist in the areas of aptitude assessment and onboarding. He has also been involved in management audits and organisational development projects.

After completing his degree in business administration at the University of Passau, Matthias Barhainski joined a small recruitment consultancy in Munich that operated across various sectors and at different levels. There, he learnt the ropes of the recruitment consultancy trade from the ground up.
He began by sourcing suitable candidates in his role as a researcher/recruiter, and later went on to build up research teams and lead them as Head of Research. This has enabled him to acquire a broad knowledge of many sectors and roles, and he always knows where to find the right people for a vacancy.
At the same time, he began to build up a client network and secure his own clients, which shifted his focus even more towards his clients’ needs.

He gained this experience whilst working for a Germany-wide recruitment consultancy group specialising in technical roles (engineering positions) and has been with SENATOR since the very beginning.

Drawing on his wealth of experience in filling both technical and commercial roles, Mr Matthias Barhainski provides his clients with targeted support in their staff selection and recruitment processes. He guides candidates competently, empathetically and confidentially as they embark on new challenges and careers.

His approach is based on the principle of finding not just the candidate with the right professional qualifications for his clients, but the right person for the job.
He is a recruitment consultant / headhunter through and through.

 

Mr Matthias Barhainski has most recently advised on and successfully filled the following positions as part of exclusive consultancy assignments:

  • Head of Housing Construction
  • Head of Building Services Engineering
  • Head of Building Automation
  • Head of the Concrete Repair Division

Functional competence: Marketing & Sales
Area of expertise: Aptitude Testing & Management Assessment, Management Audit

 

As a partner, Andreas Berger works primarily within the Consumer Goods, Retail and Services, and Digital and Online Business centres of expertise.

On a functional level, his clients value him as a generalist who delivers impressive results across all functions and levels. As a marketing professional with many years’ experience, he naturally feels particularly at home in the fields of marketing and sales, but also values all other functional areas. In addition to traditional executive search, Andreas Berger has an interest in aptitude assessment and has contributed to management audits in the retail sector on behalf of Senator.

Andreas Berger studied business administration, specialising in commerce and industry, at the renowned Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich. After successfully completing his degree in business administration, he began his career in the international sporting goods industry.

His move into the clothing and branded goods industry was followed by several busy years in marketing and product management, characterised by successful product launches, high-turnover point-of-sale promotions and award-winning advertising campaigns. Being responsible for the marketing of a fashion retail chain brought with it not only in-depth retail expertise but also experience in construction and shopfitting. Through his own online shop, he was able to play an active part in the early days of e-commerce.

After the turn of the millennium, Andreas Berger decided to put his interest in people and his entrepreneurial spirit to good use as a management consultant. Following a successful decade at two renowned executive search firms, he found the ideal platform for his consultancy work at SENATOR in 2015.

Today, Andreas Berger primarily advises medium-sized clients from the branded goods and lifestyle-oriented manufacturing and retail sectors, as well as related service providers, right through to construction planning. In addition, he advises companies across various sectors that are adapting their business models and corporate culture to the demands of the digital and interconnected world.

Drawing on his many years of experience, expertise, empathy and perseverance, he supports clients and candidates on the often challenging journey of reconciling their requirements, needs and aspirations. As a result, trusting relationships have developed over the years, through which candidates have sometimes become clients and former clients have become candidates.

Andreas Berger is a member of the BDU, the Federal Association of German Management Consultancies (e.V.).
