Practical case studies from our everyday lives as recruitment consultants
Herbert Biedermann
„For a successful interim manager in purchasing and supply chain management, analytical skills, strategic thinking and action are paramount. In addition, communication and negotiation skills (including contracts) are essential in order to convince stakeholders and achieve optimal results. Furthermore, high flexibility and adaptability help me to react quickly to changes. Moreover, strong leadership skills are important to me in order to motivate teams to achieve peak performance and successfully implement changes.“
Our experienced interim manager, Herbert Biedermann, describes his daily challenges in his work as an expert in purchasing, supply chain management, and logistics, as well as his great passion for every new project.
Torsten Althaus
„The restructuring consultant had a bottleneck in procurement due to staff departures and brought me on board as an interim Head of Procurement within a few days, giving me the following priorities: elimination of advance payments to suppliers and optimisation of payment terms, stock reduction, savings concept and its implementation, leading and building up a professional international procurement department. In addition to the German parent plant, H2Stamping has plants in China, the USA, and Poland. Furthermore, it was my task to rebuild and restructure the procurement team, as there had been considerable personnel changes due to the restructuring.“
How proven interim manager Torsten Althaus, with the support of the management and the private equity firm Orlando, built a strong global team and optimised processes to sustainably increase efficiency and liquidity.

Customer testimonials
„The collaboration with Kloepfel Consulting was characterised by high professionalism and speed. Within a few weeks, we found the exact experts we needed.“
„We would like to particularly highlight the professional and differentiated negotiation strategy. This did not disrupt the partnership with our key suppliers. The project outcome was positively influenced by the seniority of the purchasing experts, mostly former Heads of Procurement, as well as the competent and appreciative collaboration with our strong internal purchasing team.“
„A major advantage over traditional interim management providers was that we could utilise the complete Kloepfel organisation. Because of the strong professional and interpersonal impression made, we can unreservedly recommend further cooperation with Kloepfel Consulting.“

Study on the shortage of skilled workers in Germany
Why Germany urgently needs skilled immigration.
A study by the Institute for Employment Research and Coburg University of Applied Sciences shows that the German labour market is reliant on immigration from non-EU countries. The reasons for this are the ageing of society and the decline in the working-age population.
Neither the influx of foreigners in recent years nor rising birth rates since 2011 have been able to compensate for this. According to the study, Germany needs 260,000 immigrants annually to meet labour demand. Immigration from the EU alone is not sufficient; third countries would have to contribute 146,000 people per year.
Even a higher birth rate or more working women and older people wouldn't be able to meet the demand on their own. A skilled immigration law is intended to bring specifically needed qualifications to Germany.
