โKloepfel Consulting was our choice for project implementation because they have a reputation for particular expertise in recruiting for purchasing positions with experts. We were looking for professional support precisely here due to the time urgency.
You were able to present us with initial candidates via profile after just two weeks. The project was successfully completed after eight weeks with the placement of two suitable candidates. The collaboration was trusting and characterised by little bureaucracy.
Your requirements for candidates were well understood by Kloepfel and subsequently taken into account when searching for suitable candidates. Due to the excellent overall collaboration, we are happy to recommend you and are also available as a reference.โ
โI really liked that I was given a realistic picture of the work and company situation. Recruiters can usually only pass on what a company wants to present about itself, and here Sarah Freitag managed to give me a comprehensive insight that was absolutely true to reality.
Overall, I really liked the professionalism, so I would recommend Kloepfel Recruiting to friends at any time.
