I keep hearing this question from desperate HR departments or from recruitment consultants who are finding it extremely difficult to fill category manager positions in some sectors. Why is that? For us as experts in category excellence, the answer is quite simple: the requirements for modern category managers are on the one hand very complex and on the other hand not sufficiently specified in many companies. The result: Hardly any other staffing goes as wrong as category managers – especially in technical retail. Use our tailor-made services to build the perfect category team.
Our Category Audit is the perfect start for the further development of your teams. We specify the necessary roles and determine the existing skill level. Based on this, we provide specific recommendations as to which roles should be further developed and in what form. At the same time, we provide indications for the medium-term development of potential candidates.
Bad appointments are generally expensive and annoying. Unfortunately, the error rate is particularly high in category management, as the role specification is often vague. Unfortunately, the “all-rounder” quickly turns into a mistake. This can and should be avoided at all costs: Simply call us in for the final candidate check. We support you or your personnel consultants with specific expert know-how for category managers.
We are not recruitment consultants and do not want to be. But we know the market and the requirements for category managers in technical retail and IAM at close quarters. We are happy to use our expert and industry knowledge to help you simplify painful search processes and find the right person for the right chair.
We prepare your teams for the next round of negotiations with practical and highly specialized training sessions.
Category management often also means change management. Use Ralf Maurer as a silent or active companion in this success-critical process.
External support is an open secret to success in difficult negotiations. This is the only way to keep control of the process and emotions.
You don’t want to waste any time and need a professional to support you: then I am also available as a temporary manager.
