Three generations of entrepreneurial experience. A small team with clear ownership. And a grown network of training, strategy and lab partners that complements and amplifies our work.
Three generations of Hill have understood one thing: expertise comes before tool. Assessment logic, structured interviews, our own audit methodology, grown over five decades.
What changes: HR professionals no longer have to do the routine work themselves. What doesn't change: at the start of every good decision stands a person who listens and judges.
Hill HR Consulting opens as a family-run HR consultancy with the ambition to back personnel decisions with method, rather than gut feel.
Expansion into Central European markets. Hill establishes itself as one of the most distinctive HR consultancies in the German-speaking region, with its own expertise.
Merger into Hill Woltron Management Partner GmbH. Sharpening the profile around executive search, management audits and people development, methodically rigorous, personally tangible.
Deep HR assessment logic meets AI and automation. Hill Digital turns that into Recruiting, Onboarding and AI Training modules. Sovereign, EU-compliant, international.
Small team, clear roles, operational ownership in one pair of hands. Three generations of recruitment experience meet teaching, didactics and hands-on AI practice from the engine room. Technically grounded. Human in delivery.
"Soon to be Bestselling Author."
Carries the legal and entrepreneurial responsibility for Hill Digital. Brings a new generation of Hill into the management, and makes sure strategy and execution stay aligned.
"Putting clients and applicants first since 1975."
Active in the Hill family business since 1988. Has guided recruiting in the DACH region through every technological shift, from internet to email to cloud to AI. Franz brings the experience and continuity behind Hill Digital, and is the Co-Founder who initiated the venture.
"We don't train anything we don't use ourselves."
Became a teacher, stayed an AI practitioner. Master of Education from TUM and LMU Munich. AI trainer and consumer psychologist. Operational ownership of trainings, consulting and client contact.
"Heart of the Company."
"Leaving a bit of sparkle everywhere I go."
Behind Hill Digital sit training partners, consulting know-how, the locations of Hill Woltron, and a live pilot lab for new applications. Four pillars that carry us.
Jakub Popluhar is listed as a trainer with ARS Akademie. There is no formal partnership between Hill Digital and ARS. What there is: an established distribution touchpoint in the Austrian further-education market, through which Hill Digital trainings are also accessible outside the in-house format.
Strategic consulting partner with depth in AI agent architectures. Karl Pichler, CEO of InnovaticGroup, was door-opener and mentor in the founding phase. InnovaticGroup supports Hill Digital strategically and brings technical depth on complex implementation questions.
Hill Digital is a Member of Hill Woltron. Five locations, three languages, three legal jurisdictions, three labour markets first-hand. Expertise flows between the locations, lessons learned from DACH and Central Europe land in our workflows.
50 years of recruiting experience meet new AI tools, not in demo mode, but in real daily work. Hill Woltron is the first Living Lab of Hill Digital: a place where we test new applications on ourselves first, before we recommend them. What works, we develop further. What doesn't, we drop without hesitation.
AI is the next change in HR. Not the first, and certainly not the last. What's decisive is not the tool alone, but the people behind it. Hill Digital combines three generations of experience with an operational team and a network of strong partners. That's how we accompany companies through technological change, together.
Seven AI trainings, three of them specialised for HR. In-house or as an open round, always with an intro call, always with a certificate in line with Article 4 of the EU AI Act. All trainings also available in English.
