Recruitment Consulting
Our Approach to Executive Search in Transport and Mobility
Linearis Beratung
Our Personnel Consulting Methodology
Filling leadership positions requires more than a traditional candidate search. Particularly in regulated sectors—such as transport, mobility, and public infrastructure—structured selection processes and rigorous diagnostics are crucial.
Linearis Beratung supports transport companies, mobility providers, and public-sector organizations in the search for and selection of executives. At the core of its approach is a structured executive search process that combines industry expertise, diagnostic interviews, and transparent decision-making procedures.
Under the leadership of Sarah Martin, Linearis Beratung guides organizations through the entire recruitment process—from position analysis to the final selection decision.

The Structured Executive Search Process
The successful filling of leadership positions is based on a clearly defined and transparent selection process. Linearis Beratung guides organizations step by step through all phases of the recruitment process.
The consulting approach combines in-depth industry knowledge in the transport sector with modern methods of aptitude assessment.
Analysis of the Position and the Organization
At the beginning of a recruitment process stands a detailed analysis of the position as well as the organizational framework conditions.
Together with the client, the following questions—among others—are clarified:
What strategic challenges shape this position?
Which leadership competencies are required?
Which experiences are particularly relevant in the context of transport, mobility, or public infrastructure?
Based on this, a precise requirements profile is developed for the candidate search.
Identification of Suitable Candidates
In the next step, the systematic identification of potential candidates begins.
In doing so, Linearis Beratung draws upon many years of experience in the transport and mobility sector:
an established industry network in the transport sector
Targeted Direct Approach in Executive Search
In-depth market knowledge in the fields of mobility, public transport, regional rail transport, and logistics.
Through this structured research, candidates who are not actively looking for a job can also be identified.
Structured Interviews and Aptitude Assessment
A central component of the selection process consists of structured interviews and aptitude assessment procedures.
These enable an objective and transparent assessment of the candidates.
Among those being deployed are:
Competency-based interview guides
Structured Interviewing
Systematic Assessment of Leadership Competencies
Documented basis for decision-making
Particularly for leadership positions in transport companies or public-sector organizations, this approach ensures transparency and reliability.
Facilitation of Selection Processes with Decision-Making Bodies
Recruitment processes in the public sector or in municipal enterprises frequently require the involvement of various decision-making bodies.
Linearis Beratung supports these processes by:
Structured presentation of the candidates
Facilitation of Selection Rounds
Facilitation of Decision-Making Processes
Transparent documentation
External moderation ensures a clear structure within the selection process, fosters transparency among the committees, and supports well-founded decision-making based on defined criteria.
