Last position:
Scrum Master, Agile Coach at Name on request
Due to founding another company during Corona, the managing director stepped back from day-to-day operations, which left the team without leadership for around 3 years.
My task was to train a new Product Owner, form a cohesive team from the group of developers and the Product Owner, and coach this newly formed team into a state where self-organized value delivery for the customer was possible again.
Due to the political situation in the US, revenue dropped at my client's main customer, which made a change in the business model necessary for my client. I was allowed to support the transition from a service provider to an AI-first company with a broad customer base in an advisory and strategic role, hire staff, and facilitate several C-level negotiations between my client and its new customers.

About the technology
What Personio covers
Personio is an HR software suite for managing core people processes in one place. It is used for employee records, time off, recruiting, onboarding, and everyday HR tasks that need clear ownership and clean data.
Typical work
- Set up employee fields, roles, and approval flows
- Configure recruiting steps and hiring handovers
- Build onboarding and offboarding processes
- Align time tracking, absences, and document handling
Integrations and data
Strong specialists know how Personio fits into payroll, identity, finance, and reporting setups. They map data carefully, reduce duplicate entries, and make sure permissions, exports, and connected tools stay consistent as the HR process grows.
When companies need help
Companies usually bring in freelance expertise during a rollout, a restructuring, or a cleanup of messy HR data. In Germany, this often also comes up when local teams need Personio to work smoothly with existing payroll or finance workflows and with German-language HR operations.
What strong experts do
Good Personio professionals ask about process first, then tool settings. They can turn business rules into usable workflows, document decisions clearly, and spot gaps in fields, approvals, or user rights before they create problems.
Working style
- Clear setup plans and hands-on configuration
- Practical support for HR admins and people teams
- Careful testing before go-live
- Clean handover notes for internal ownership
- Remote delivery or on-site support when needed
Frequently asked questions
Need clarity? These are the questions we hear most often about Personio.
Personio is used to run core HR work in one system, such as employee data, recruiting, onboarding, absence handling, and document management. It helps people teams keep processes consistent and easier to maintain. Many companies also use it to connect HR work with payroll and reporting.
Personio covers both. It supports day-to-day HR administration and also the recruiting flow, from job openings through candidate steps and handover to onboarding. That is why companies often look for specialists who understand both people operations and hiring workflows.
Personio is often chosen when a company wants a practical HR suite with recruiting, employee records, and workflow management in one place. Compared with broader enterprise suites, it is usually easier to tailor for lean HR teams. The right fit depends on how much process depth, integration work, and local HR structure you need.
A strong Personio specialist usually understands HR process design, data migration, permissions, and integration work. Knowledge of payroll handoffs, identity systems, reporting, and change management is often valuable too. The best experts can also translate HR needs into clear setup decisions.
For a basic setup or cleanup, a freelancer with solid Personio experience and good HR process knowledge can be enough. For multi-system integrations or a full rollout, you want someone who has handled end-to-end implementation work before. Ask for concrete examples of similar setups, not just generic HR software knowledge.
Yes, many Personio tasks can be delivered remotely, including configuration, documentation, testing, and user support. For workshops or final go-live support, some teams still prefer on-site sessions in Germany. The best setup depends on the complexity of the process and how many stakeholders need alignment.
Look for clear thinking, structured setup work, and a practical grasp of HR operations. A strong Personio specialist can explain why a workflow is built a certain way and how it affects recruiters, HR staff, and employees. Good signs are clean documentation, careful testing, and sensible questions about your current process.
A Personio freelancer usually needs access to your current process, system structure, and any connected tools. It also helps to have sample data, a list of pain points, and a clear owner for decisions. The better the brief, the faster the specialist can improve the setup without creating avoidable rework.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Personio in their recent projects is 107 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 857 € based on an 8-hour working day.
