About AVANTGARDE EXPERTS

Our Services, History & Vision

CREATING CAREERS SINCE 2007

Established in the heart of Munich in 2007, AVANTGARDE Experts is the only recruitment specialist to arrange ideal matches between candidates and companies. We started out by arranging placements for marketing, communications and sales specialists; today we offer attractive jobs to students, graduates, skilled professionals, managerial staff and freelancers across a whole range of disciplines. In doing so, we spare no effort to find the "Perfect Match."

As a long-term career partner to our specialists, we proactively help our clients succeed in business. 

In addition to our headquarters in Munich, we offer our services at our other offices in Hamburg, Cologne, and Stuttgart.

Through our merger with the international HR service provider YER Group in 2024, we are well positioned for further growth and the demands of an increasingly international job market. In Germany, we are joining forces with Staffxperts to form YER Germany, expanding our network to include Bochum and Mannheim.

Then and now

Philipp Riedel - CEO AVANTGARDE Experts

You might expect our company history to take the form of a timeline with images. Since we were a little camera-shy in the early days, we have summarised the key numbers for you in a short retrospective, with selected highlights of our corporate story.

Our CEO Philipp Riedel, who has been with AVANTGARDE Experts since day one, sums up our origins and where we stand today:

“Since our founding, development has been fantastic, with incredible levels of growth. Throughout, we have retained our own essential character, which I like to call 'agency-like' and unconventional. Taken together with our passion for innovation and our development of new approaches to recruiting, AVANTGARDE Experts really is something special. I am proud of our colleagues, candidates and clients, and am happy to be part of such a great organisation!

Part of the YER Group 

True to our core values of Passion, People in Focus, Entrepreneurship & Trendsetting, we are always striving to break new ground - for excellent recruitment and entrepreneurial growth. The year 2024 marks a particularly significant milestone in our company history: we became part of the international HR consultancy YER Group, legally separating from our previous parent company, AVANTGARDE. In this context, we also merged with StaffXperts, the placement experts in the energy and chemical industries, with locations in Bochum and Mannheim.

The partnership with YER and Staffxperts gives us additional momentum on our journey to becoming a category leader in filling modern roles in Mobility, Tech & Energy sectors. With these strong corporate partners, we have found a team that shares our values and ambitions. This will create exciting new benefits for our clients and candidates in an increasingly international job market in the future.
