The renowned magazine WirtschaftsWoche conducted its study of the executive search market in cooperation with Christel Gade, professor at the IUBH International University Bad Honnef and expert on the executive search industry. Between July and October, around 1,400 personnel decision-makers from German companies completed the questionnaires specially developed for this purpose and evaluated more than 590 executive search consultancies. They provided information about issues such as how satisfied they were with different executive search companies and awarded stars for good or excellent services. The survey was supported by the German Association for Personnel Management, the Federal Association of German Management Consultants and the trade association ‘Die Führungskräfte’ (The managers).
Ralf Hager, founder and Managing Director of Hager Unternehmensberatung, on the award: "We see ourselves as a demanding executive search consultancy. I am therefore very pleased that we are repeatedly among the best. This reflects the quality and also our firmly anchored process excellence. We know how difficult it is to find suitable candidates. For many companies, the high-quality support of executive search consultants is indispensable. With our now more than 100 employees, we can excellently meet the demands placed on professional personnel consultancies.
At this point, I would also like to highlight the excellent performance and commitment of my team, which successfully implements our processes for the benefit of our clients".
