Email: d.fertl@senator-partners.de
Industry expertise:Plant engineering, automotive & e-mobility, defense, and aerospace
Functional expertise:Purchasing and procurement,supply chain management
Special expertise: Aptitude diagnostics & management assessment

After completing his commercial training, he was able to learn the tools of the trade from scratch at a large personnel consulting firm.

At Senator Executive Search Partners, Daniel Fertl is Head of Research at the Landshut office and specializes in the automotive and defense industries.
In recent years, he has often taken on difficult and challenging positions in these areas.
He is involved in applicant and project management, aptitude testing, and, of course, direct approach ("headhunting").

In order to continue to meet these high standards, it is more important than ever to recruit highly qualified personnel.
The shortage of skilled workers will continue to grow in the coming years, and competition for the best minds will become increasingly fierce.

During the recruitment process, Mr. Fertl not only checks whether candidates meet the technical requirements of the job profile, but also assesses the extent to which the company and future employees are a good fit on a personal level.

In this context, he always mentions Richard Branson's quote:
"Hiring the right people takes time, the right questions, and a healthy dose of curiosity. What do you think is the most important factor when building your team? For us, it's personality."
