Do these challenges sound familiar?
Many companies face these challenges.
Suitable candidates — missing skills
It is hard to find employees who fit your company and also possess all necessary skills — especially in areas that require special expertise.
Rising costs of talent acquisition
It takes more time and effort to find suitable candidates. Recruitment costs are rising and hiring risk is growing — recruiters are usually working at full capacity.
Extended training period needed
Recent graduates do not yet possess the necessary technical and practical skills to be immediately productive in the company.
Onboarding without support
In the first few months, new employees often feel overwhelmed. They are often missing the expert assistance they need to meet the requirements.
Need motivated tech talent?

Our leading minds
Every day, we are motivated to give our best for our customers. We are passionate about supporting and guiding people in their development and learning new things so they can do a great job.
Stefan is the founder and mastermind of the institute. He has worked for a couple of decades as a designer and consultant for companies of all shapes and sizes. He founded the institute in 2014, just in time for the birth of his first daughter. In him, the German penchant for perfection, quality and structure meets the Italian dolce vita. Stefan can only do a few things at once, otherwise he is not happy and healthy. He loves developing ideas, making plans and getting new things off the ground. For many years he has unsuccessfully practised contemplative techniques to become calmer and more relaxed. He lives and works wherever there is electricity and internet.

Maria made it across early in her life - she moved from Dresden as a young adult to conquer Leipzig. She is not only good with people, but also with numbers, words and works. With a solid business background and a good shot at sales, she is dedicated to people and the human condition itself. She ensures that our team continues to grow - in every respect - and that we can strengthen ourselves with great, accomplished and motivated people. She is constantly on the air. When she is not on the air, she spends whole evenings with her son exploring Catan and the world.
