FOCUS Business: Deininger recognized as Top Personnel Consultancy 2025
We are very pleased to announce that we have been recognized by FOCUS Business as a Top Personnel Consultancy 2025 in the Executive Search category.
The award is based on an independent data survey conducted by FOCUS in collaboration with Statista GmbH. For the survey of the Top Personnel Consultancies 2025, HR managers in companies who have already worked with personnel service providers and personnel consultancies were surveyed. There were around 4000 personnel consultancies to choose from. A total of 56 top HR consultancies were recognized in the Executive Search category.
The decisive evaluation criteria were the quality and accuracy of the candidate profiles, service orientation, value for money and speed of placement. In order to be included in the FOCUS Business recommendation lists, companies had to achieve a minimum number of mentions and recommendations as well as an above-average rating in all categories.
Thus the week ends with further appreciation of our work! A big thank you to everyone who expressed their trust in us with their rating. In 2025, we will continue to do everything we can to offer you excellent advice at the highest level.
