Furthermore, ED supports and advises on human resources and risk management . The owner is Andreas Schwab.
task
The initiative was founded in March 2005 in the legal form of a limited liability company (GmbH) under the name "ED - Society for Expert Knowledge mbH" . The motive for founding - as a consequence of the demographic change of our time - was the realization that new concepts of knowledge recruitment were necessary and that qualifications , motivation and work productivity are not age-dependent.
The placement of such senior experts in early retirement or retirement is not about returning to the first job market , but about the temporary and freelance assignment of these specialists and managers as interim managers to solve acute problems ( crisis management ), to establish new products and Sales markets or across the board for temporary “support” to corporate management.
Some 9,000 specialists and managers aged 55+ from all industries and business functions have been in the online - database to register free of charge for a mediation.
The main shareholder until 2012 was the Nestor Group, Berlin. In 2012, the personnel consultant Andreas Schwab bought the company, restructured it and realigned it into 3 business areas:
- Interim management: Placement of senior experts, approx. 9000 senior experts, active and former specialists and executives from all industries and functions, generation management, knowledge management.
- HR Consulting: Personnel recruitment, recruiting coaching, talent scouting, personnel marketing, new placement
- Risk management: corporate security, crisis management, travel management.
