From the business for your business
Digital Vikings - YOUR STRATEGIC PARTNER
Digital talents and experienced digital managers are more urgently needed than ever before. This high demand makes the search for the right employees more challenging and complex – mainly because of the fast-changing degree of specialization and the increasing demands by candidates towards their future employer. Finding the right candidates that bring the right attitude, personality and skills that match with your needs is mission critical.
We focus on Digital Commerce
Because of our background, we are highly specialized on all digital commerce areas. We act with the right sense of urgency and adhere high-quality standards to find the right digital specialists, digital leaders and young talent for your business: from SEO experts to shop managers, from head of e-commerce to chief digital officer.
Our consultants speak our customer's and candidate's language and have held senior and operational positions in e-commerce and digital marketing. We know how online marketing works, how to build a content marketing team, what good reporting looks like and how to successfully carry out SEO. We are capable to assess and very whether potential candidates are a professional and cultural match for you.
We are well connected in the industry
In addition to our own expertise, we have a large network of experienced specialists and executives that we activate for your business success – from acquiring the ideal employee to connecting you with subjects matter experts and and executives to discuss a specialized subject or to get advise on a certain initiative.
We believe in high performance teams
We are partners and consultants in all matters concerning your ‘digital commerce organization’ – whether in the start-up or in the growth phase. We firmly believe that in the current environment, recruitment involves far more than ‘quickly’ finding a new rock star. It is about optimally assembled teams and an appropriately structured organization that performs in line with your company's objectives. Even the best candidates and ‘high potentials’ cannot be successful if they doesn't match with the company culture.
We are open and transparent
We don’t provide candidates for the sake of closing the role. Our objective is to build a long-term partnership with you, and this requires more - honesty, openness and transparency with a twist of being a challenger.

Customer feedback
“Of course we also recruit people ourselves. But Thomas Schaeben and his Digital Vikings are our go-to guys when we have come to a dead end. Especially when it comes to online marketing, content & social media, we have been able to fill many positions through Digital Vikings – from “Junior” to “Head of”. One huge advantage is that the candidates have been vetted, and their professional credentials and cultural capital have been checked, so it cuts down on the amount of work we have to do internally. I would like to emphasize the very individual guidance and advice they give – this is increasingly difficult to find these days with service providers.”
“We are a small but very successful boutique consulting firm in the digital environment so it is absolutely essential that we attract top performers who fit in with us and with our culture. Thomas Schaeben always manages to find top people and inspire them to come and work for us.”
“Thomas Schaeben walked us through the process of looking for a chief digital officer. What impressed me was that he also has an in-depth understanding of organizational issues in the area of e-commerce. He was therefore able to give us important strategic advice when it came to setting up a new service unit for Hawesko.”
“I have worked with several recruitment consultants in the past. Digital Vikings simply delivers the most suitable specialists for our vacancies in e-commerce from its bank of resources.”
“Thomas Schaeben helped us to find a new e-commerce manager. During the search he also gave us some very valuable advice and input regarding the structure of the overall organization. So for us it was a great service with added value!”
“Thomas Schaeben has an excellent understanding of all aspects of e-commerce and transformation. He has the experience to weed out the candidates who won’t really fit and pick the ones who are entirely right for the business. He was able to fill a very important management position in purchasing in our company which is absolutely critical to the success of the digital transformation of Westphalia.”
