We pride ourselves on matching exceptional professionals with organisations that truly value their expertise. And sometimes, those professionals have roles that are anything but ordinary. One of our most vivid examples is Wehkamp, a long-standing client with a distinctly colorful talent profile, quite literally.

Today, 72 professionals are actively working for Wehkamp through HeadFirst Group, the majority of them operating as independent contractors. On average, they contribute around 33 hours per month, supporting Wehkamp’s diverse operations in ways that go far beyond traditional corporate roles.

Many of these professionals serve in uniquely creative and hands-on positions: photographers, stylists, production leads, SEO specialists, and yes, even one night guard. (After all, someone has to keep an eye on everything while the rest of us are asleep.) These are roles that bring energy, imagination, and practical problem-solving to the forefront. They embody a side of the labor market that often operates behind the scenes, yet keeps entire digital and retail ecosystems running smoothly.

Interestingly, only 15% of the professionals currently placed at Wehkamp work in ICT roles. But don’t let the small number fool you, they certainly make up for it in intensity. This group consistently logs well over 100 hours per month, ensuring that Wehkamp’s technology backbone remains as strong and stable as its well-orchestrated creative production teams. While the creatives capture the perfect product images and optimise content for search engines, the ICT specialists work diligently to make sure the platform stays fast, functional, and ready for customers around the clock.

This unique mix of professionals perfectly reflects the broader landscape of our client portfolio: a wide and vibrant palette, where every color, and every competency, plays an essential role. Whether it’s cybersecurity experts, financial analysts, data engineers, photographers, or night guards, we pride ourselves on connecting organisations with exactly the right talent at exactly the right time.

In the end, Wehkamp demonstrates what makes us truly distinctive: our ability to support organisations with both highly specialised professionals and those with more unconventional skill sets. It’s this rare blend, of creativity, technical excellence, and operational reliability, that makes our partnership successful and reminds us why no two days in our business are ever the same.

Sometimes the best talent isn’t found in traditional job titles and that’s exactly where we thrives.
