Recruiting that bridges two worlds.
What We Do
Placing exceptional leaders
in German-speaking companies
across the US.
BBRecruitingUS specializes in middle and upper management recruiting for DACH subsidiaries operating in the American market. We close the cultural gap — and fill the right seat.
Recruiting that bridges two worlds.
European parent companies expanding in the US face a specific challenge: finding leaders who are not only operationally excellent but culturally aligned. We solve exactly that problem — with precision, discretion, and deep market knowledge.
The right leader, for the right culture.
Finding an exceptional executive is hard enough. Finding one who can lead a US operation for a German, Austrian, or Swiss parent company — navigating dual accountability, cultural distance, and the particular expectations of Mittelstand ownership — is a challenge in its own category. That is the search BBRecruitingUS was built to run.
Over more than 20 years, we have built an extensive and well-maintained network of senior professionals across the United States who bring not only the technical qualifications your role demands, but the cultural fluency your organization requires. We do not mass-distribute job postings. We conduct searches — deliberately, discreetly, and with a keen sense for the human dimension of every mandate.
Built for a specific kind of client.
We don't try to be everything to everyone. Our focus is narrow by design — and that's what makes us effective.

Professional & Executive Recruiting and Personalberatung
| BASED IN CHARLOTTE, NC | FOUNDED 2005
Fluent in business.
Fluent in culture.
Bertina Brase founded BBRecruitingUS over 20 years ago after a career that spanned both agency and corporate HR - in Germany and across the US. As a Dipl.-Kauffrau from the University of Göttingen who has lived in the United States for 35+ years, she sits at the exact intersection her clients need.
She knows what a Stuttgart Mittelstand expects from a US General Manager. She knows what American candidates need to thrive inside a European reporting structure. That double fluency is rare — and it's why clients keep coming back.
- WHAT SETS US APART
Relationships, Not Databases - Our candidate network has been built through years of direct engagement — not aggregated from LinkedIn or job boards. We maintain active, ongoing relationships with the professionals we represent, which means when your search begins, we are not starting from zero.
Cultural Precision as a Core Competency - Qualifications get candidates to the shortlist. Cultural fit determines whether they succeed. We assess every candidate against the specific dynamics of a European-owned US subsidiary - and we know what that looks like from both sides because we have lived it.
A Partner through the Whole Process - From the first briefing call through the guarantee period on the job, BBRecruitingUS accompanies your company through every stage of the search - advising on market conditions, managing candidates relationships, and protecting the integrity of your decision.
