250+ professionals in the community. Real outcomes, not advice.
You're in the right place if any of this sounds familiar.
If you recognized yourself in any of these, you're not the problem. The translation is the problem.
Your CV worked. Until you crossed a border.
Format, structure, expectations, everything that got you interviews back home now sorts you out before anyone reads your experience.
You're qualified. The application says you're foreign.
Subtle signals, formatting, certifications, the missing photo or wrong photo, flag you before the system reaches your skills.
You can answer the questions. You can't decode them.
What German interviewers are testing isn't on the page. The cultural subtext, what 'tell me about yourself' really means, what they're filtering for.
You have the experience. You don't have the network.
Most good roles in Germany never get posted. You're competing on visible roles only. The real ones go through introductions you don't have yet.
You're working twice as hard for half the result.
And you can't tell whether it's you, the system, or something specific you're doing wrong, because nobody who knows both worlds is giving you honest feedback.
How we work
Two ways to work together.
Start with an audit. Continue with a sprint if you want the full programme. We'll talk pricing on the call.

Why I built this.
I'm Turkish-German. I've spent 21 years operating across cultures, languages, and corporate systems, 13 of them inside the German market. I know what it takes to be the foreigner in the room: the mispronounced name, the explained CV, the qualifications that get questioned because they don't fit the local template.
FIERA Compass exists because the gap between 'highly qualified abroad' and 'gets hired in Germany' isn't about your skills. It's about translation. And I've spent my career bridging exactly that gap.
Two ways to start.

Do you guarantee I'll land a job?
No. Nobody honest can. What I do guarantee: you'll know exactly what's blocking you, you'll have the CV and positioning the market actually responds to, and you'll have the interview decode and network strategy to compete on a level playing field.
Is this only for people in Germany?
Germany is the starting point, it's the market I've operated in for 13 years and know from the inside. But the work translates: if you're rebuilding a career in any new country where your CV stopped working, the same diagnosis applies. We'll be explicit about what's market-specific and what's universal.
What if my German isn't fluent yet?
Fluent German helps but isn't required. Many senior international roles are English-language. The Sprint includes positioning yourself for the right roles given your language level, not pretending to be fluent.
How is this different from a career coach?
Career coaches help you figure out what you want. I help you get hired, operationally. I've spent 13 years operating in the German market as someone who didn't start with it, and 21 years operating across cultures. The expertise is operational, not aspirational.
Can I start with the Audit and decide on the Sprint later?
Yes, that's exactly how most people do it. The Audit is the diagnostic. The Sprint is the full programme. About half of Audit clients choose to continue.
