Professional guidelines for our employees\u00a0<\/h1>

With 25 years of experience, Vesterling is one of the leading international technology recruiting and human resources consulting companies. As an independent and family-owned entreprise we are not part of a consultant alliance. Vesterling is neither a franchise nor an association of freelance consultants. Vesterling creates synergies from the consultants\u2019 cooperation and prevents destructive competition with one another. Our code of conduct is based on the \u201eGuidelines for proper and qualified HR Consultants (GoPB)\u201c (PDF) published by the Institute of Management Consulting (IdU at BDU).<\/p>
