The story behind YER Germany

Philipp Riedel - CEO YER Germany
Philipp Riedel - CEO YER Germany

The name YER has only existed in Germany since 2025 and yet we draw on many years of experience in recruitment consultancy.
YER Germany brings together the expertise of former AVANTGARDE Experts and Staffxperts - true recruiting specialists with deep market insight and long-standing industry know-how in the fields of Mobility, Tech, Public and Energy.

Our CEO Philipp has been part of the journey since the early days of what was then still AVANTGARDE Experts:
“It’s amazing to see how our small team, originally focused on placing event and marketing professionals, has grown into a key player in filling modern roles with 300 internal employees. Our drive for innovation, our courage to embrace change, and our passion for recruiting have made this remarkable growth possible. At the same time, we’ve stayed true to our unconventional spirit and continue to value personality above all. I’m proud of our colleagues, candidates and clients and grateful to be part of this great company!”
