DKV Mobility: Strengthening a Legal department, four hires in six months.
The Challenge
DKV Mobility is a leading European B2B platform for on-road payment and mobility solutions, serving over 400,000 commercial customers across more than 50 countries, the kind of scale where a thin Legal function isn't a minor gap, it's a genuine business risk.
When DKV Mobility's Talent Acquisition team contacted MAM Gruppe, they were working against two connected problems: they needed to strengthen an in-house Legal department at real pace, while doing so in a market where high-calibre Legal Counsel candidates are consistently in short supply and fielding competing offers. Speed and quality don't often come as a package in legal hiring, DKV Mobility needed both at once.
The Solution
MAM Gruppe took a strategic, consultative approach rather than treating this as a volume search. The team took the time to properly understand the specific requirements of each individual Legal Counsel role, recognising that "Legal Counsel" covers real variation in remit and seniority, not a single template candidate.
Guidance stayed honest and transparent at every stage of the process, even when that meant a harder conversation than a client might want in the moment. Every discussion was approached with a positive, collaborative mindset, and communication with the DKV team stayed attentive, thorough, and consistent throughout, no long silences between updates, no surprises late in the process.
The Outcome
Alyssa Langhoyer placed four Legal Counsels within DKV Mobility's Legal department in the space of six months, with an average time-to-fill of just 6–8 weeks from briefing call to accepted offer, a pace that's genuinely difficult to sustain in legal recruitment without cutting corners on quality.
Sarah Issiakou, Team Manager Talent Acquisition, described her experience with Alyssa and MAM Gruppe as "truly exceptional," praising the team's professionalism, responsiveness, and people-focused approach. She confirmed she'd recommend MAM Gruppe to her network without hesitation, and, notably, already had.
