The success lead to the promotion to the COO role for m-commerce which even included sales support responsibilities.

Then Herwig Stöckl was asked again by headquarters to move, this time to the M&A department to shape up the integration of acquired businesses and the separation work for divestment targets. Together with only a hand-full colleagues he managed to achieve significant better results than before, among them the successful sales of a Chinese factory including a product portfolio, the establishment of an independent operating unit for a totally new businiess model or the creation of a new big joint venture in the media solutions domain. He continued to work with such transformation projects and also helped companies in international expansion when he continued his career as independent management consultant.

„Leidenschaftlicher Recruiter, systemischer Coach, Hobbypsychologe und Bodenseefan.“

Maxim Karch ist als Managing Partner der ISG Personalmanagement GmbH im schönen Konstanz am Bodensee (Baden-Württemberg) tätig. Er ist großer Sympathisant des Bodensees und zog deshalb Ende 2021 in seine Wunschheimat Konstanz, wo er mehrere Jahre in Festanstellung in der Branche Pharma und IT im Recruiting und Employer Branding tätig war. Davor hat er über fünf Jahre als Personaldisponent bei einem Personaldienstleister seine Erfahrungen im Vertrieb und Recruiting sammeln können.

Seit Maxim während seiner Zeit im Studium (Wirtschaftsinformatik & E-Business) im Praxissemester seine Zeit im HR-Service verbracht hat, wollte er sich hauptsächlich in einem Bereich etablieren: Recruiting! Deswegen befasste er sich entsprechend in seiner Bachelorarbeit mit der Thematik der Personalbeschaffung samt Nachwuchsgewinnung und -sicherung im industriellen Umfeld.

Maxim hat sich auch nach seiner Zeit im Studium stets fortgebildet. Unter anderem hat er sich selbst durch verschiedene Seminare und Webinare intensives Know-How im Active Sourcing angeeignet. Zudem hat er den AEVO(Ausbildereignungsverordnung)-Schein nebenberuflich erlangt und sich als Systemischer Coach fortgebildet. Ursprünglich hat er eine Lehre in der Mediengestaltung abgeschlossen, war beim Militär und verbrachte vier Jahre in der Logistik, bevor es zum Studieren ging.

Da sich Maxim in den Branchen Maschinenbau, Verlag & Medien, Pharma(dienstleistungen), kunststoffverarbeitende Industrie, IT und IT-Dienstleistungen bewegt hat, bedient er diese Sektoren in seiner Funktion bei uns – Hauptsächlich in der südlichen Region Deutschlands. Außerdem ist er für die Stellenbesetzungen im IT- und IT-Dienstleistungssektor für die D-A-CH-Region zuständig.
