As talent will continue to make the difference, human capital is the "hard currency" of the future. Hence, unlocking the full human capital- and leadership potential will support growth, enhance bottom line, create sustainability, and make for happier, engaged people, as well as enthused clients.
Equally important is to create responsibility and processes for innovation management and to inspire corporate renewal. We focus on the corporate client's development needs as well as the individual's talent, drivers and ambition for development.



Based on many years of international experience, studies and a vision HCS-CONSULTING was created in 2003 by its Founder and Managing Director Hans C. Steckling, representing a new value generating, innovative and holistic approach to human capital management consulting, beyond traditional services and support.

Specializing in leadership- and human capital consulting services, the firm offers a fresh and unconventional way to corporate renewal and executive development. The firm has gained a distinctive track record as an independent and trusted advisor, critical thinker, sparring partner, and change agent, delivering fast and concrete solutions on succession planning, talent management, strategic recruiting, as well as board re-composition.

Cooperating in close partnership with few, selected corporate clients per industry is part of the business principle to avoid unnecessary conflicts of interest.

To ensure consistent state-of-the-art services and a truly entrepreneurial approach the firm has chosen not to be organized in a corporate fashion but as a network of superior experts and their organizations, representing a variety of experiences, disciplines, networks and geographic reach. Cost effectiveness, speed, flexibility, individualized services as well as a high level of market insight are other key advantages and benefits. A core team of professionals works closely and successfully with this expanding network of experts as well as with selected strategic alliances, offering complementary solutions and with unique access to different networks and sounding boards.

HCS-Consulting is an official and strategic cooperation partner of the Career Service Center of the University of St. Gallen. It also does joined project work with ETH Zurich's Department of Management, Technology and Economics.
