Case Study | Senior Interim Recruiter for a Sustainability Tech Scale-up
Klim is one of Europe’s fastest-growing players in sustainability tech. Founded on the belief that regenerative agriculture can reshape food systems, the Berlin-based scale-up works with farmers and companies across Europe to reduce emissions, rebuild soil health, and accelerate the transition to more resilient supply chains.
Today, Klim supports projects across six countries and over 800,000 hectares of farmland. Its solutions range from Scope 3 carbon reporting for corporate clients to hands-on support for farmers adopting regenerative practices. With its platform gaining traction and partnerships multiplying, the next step is clear: grow the internal team to match the company’s momentum.
To support this growth phase, Klim reached out to Consultport to find a Senior Interim Recruiter who could quickly integrate into their team and bring both experience and structure to the hiring process.
The interim recruiter collaborated closely with hiring managers, defining hiring priorities and ensuring all roles moved through a consistent and efficient recruitment flow. With a strong background in active sourcing and fluency in German, the recruiter also took a hands-on role in identifying and screening candidates for critical positions.
The recruiter focused on three core areas:
- Process Optimization: Reviewing and refining the hiring workflow to ensure better coordination and fewer delays.
- Active Sourcing: Proactively identifying candidates for specialist and hard-to-fill roles, particularly in the DACH market.
- Candidate Screening: Conducting pre-interviews and assessments, allowing internal stakeholders to focus on the final selection stages.
Using familiar tools like Personio, the recruiter was able to get up to speed quickly. The focus was not on reinventing processes, but on applying structure, consistency, and urgency to support the team’s hiring goals.
With structured recruitment support in place, Klim gained the confidence and capability to execute its hiring roadmap effectively, while also building a foundation for long-term scalability in recruitment practices.
