“Entrepreneur Chris Pyak. A personal coach for every newcomer” “Handelsblatt“ Author of "How to Win Jobs & Influence Germans". Chris Pyak introduces international professionals to employers in Germany. Since 2013 Chris has helped over 300 expatriates to get their next job in his home country. If you are an “unusual” candidate, who doesn’t (want) to fit into an imaginary “ISO-norm” – than Chris is your friend and your best ally. Chris worked in five different cultures and lived in seven different countries. After spending ten years abroad Chris returned to Germany in 2011. But his desire for new experiences hasn't vanished. In autumn of 2022 Chris moved with his family to the North of Spain. It is this combination of both personal international experience and deep roots in the German business culture that makes Chris Pyak such a valuable ally for international professionals looking for a career in Germany. Chris created Immigrant Spirit (Trademark) in order to bring the brightest and most motivated talents in the world to his home country. Over the years Chris has worked with over 1000 HR manager, hiring manager and CEO’s. He introduced international talent from all over the world and a wide variety of professions. Chris Pyak works directly with individual professionals. The Immigrant Spirit Contributors are a selected group of international professionals. They are former coachee’s of Chris. Their commitment to develop their career, contribute to their employers business goals and make a positive impact to our society is outstanding. The real life experiences and best practices of thousands of international professionals and hundreds of German employers are the foundation for Chris' book "How To Win Jobs & Influence Germans". Press Coverage “If Germany wants to withstand the global competition, says Pyak, it cannot expect all specialists to speak German. Instead, it needs cosmopolitans.” Berliner Morgenpost “Recruiting across borders becomes an opportunity to fight labor shortage, says Chris Pyak” Die Welt “Chris Pyak advises international professionals on how to navigate the job market. To this end, he has written a book entitled "How To Win Jobs & Influence Germans". His conclusion: Germany has a bad reputation among international professionals.” Spiegel “Germany has a shortage of around 400,000 skilled workers - but only 4 percent of German companies hire new employees who don't speak German. That has to change, demands career coach Chris Pyak.” Manager Magazine “Germany urgently needs international skilled workers. Companies should therefore also hire English-speaking candidates and then offer them language courses, demands Chris Pyak.” Handelsblatt Testimonials Hi Chris, I wanted to let you know that I’m enjoying my new job at the GIZ :) Interesting projects and a friendly international team! Thank you again for your invaluable coaching and support!” Samantha Ölz, Gesellschaft für internationale Zusammenarbeit “The series of seminars with Chris Pyak was a full success. More than 90% of participants rated the seminar as a full success and recommended the trainer for future seminars” Martin Wilhelm, Strategy & Organisation at trivago GmbH “It was genius how fast you understood the situation. At times I felt like you were my colleague – because you understood the internal challenges so well.” Nidal Sultana, Controller “Thank you so much for your help and guidance which has led me grab 3 interviews for the past 5 applications I made to companies in Europe and especially Germany.” Abhineet Narang “Being from North America I was unfamiliar with the interview process in Germany. With Chris’s help I was able to identify what I really wanted and how to quickly determine what potential employers are looking for. I am grateful for the support, learned a lot and was successful in finding my next career step.” Vanessa Burnand, Airbus
