The best advertisement for a headhunter is the judgment of his clients.

Here is a selection:

„Mr. Steinkrauss has successfully filled several key positions for our company. His work is characterized by a high level of professionalism, discretion, and a deep understanding of business dynamics. I have been particularly impressed by his ability to identify individuals who are not only a strong professional fit but also a cultural match for our organization, as well as his international poise in working very effectively with our HR Business Partner in the United States. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Steinkrauss as an outstanding headhunter with exceptional insight into both people and business contexts.“

"We have been working successfully with Rufus Steinkrauss for many years. In the meantime, some candidates have developed from local responsibility into national organizations. At the same time, our personnel consultant has also filled "smaller" positions by means of direct search and has proven himself as a point of contact at various levels."

"We, the Orthex Group, commissioned Rufus Steinkrauss Personal GmbH with the recruitment of sales staff for our new sales company in Germany.

Sven Siepmann
Friese Rockwelle GmbH

"Originally, we were looking for a marketing manager with strong FMCG experience. Our personnel consultant Rufus Steinkrauss introduced us - completely unexpectedly - to a psychologist who also had a degree in agricultural sciences. The man not only successfully "turned around" our marketing department, he is now Managing Director of one of our subsidiaries."

Peggy Pleines
Nash & Nunky - Procter & Gamble spin-off

"In many years of professional experience, I have rarely seen a headhunter like Rufus Steinkrauss, who introduced us to top candidates from an environment in which we would never have expected them: That was convincing and surprising at the same time."

Ingo Schoenherr

"Rufus Steinkrauss' candidate succeeded in merging two inefficient production sites within a short space of time with virtually no interruption, saving almost all jobs and increasing output while significantly reducing costs.

"We were originally looking for someone to implement a new ERP system for our parent company in Germany. Our headhunter Rufus Steinkrauss provided us with a candidate who also consolidated our cooperation with banks and other lenders in such a way that we can now operate much more independently. The man has been a member of our management team ever since - without this having been planned."

Prof. Dr. Ingmar Grambow
RITZ Instrument Transformers GmbH

"In over 50 years, we have sought and found well over 500 highly qualified employees. It wasn't always easy, but it was possible. One important position, however, proved to be a tough nut to crack. Too hard for us. We couldn't find a suitable candidate. Conventional agencies also searched in vain. Then we came into contact with Rufus Steinkrauss. He found exactly the right candidate. We are extremely satisfied. Working with Rufus Steinkrauss was always professional and pleasant."

Dipl.-Math. Ulrich Völter
Intermetric Gesellschaft für Ingenieurmessung und raumbezogene Informationssysteme mbH

In a very short time, Mr. Steinkrauss convinced us with his personality, his way of working and his great knowledge in recruiting. Through him we have found the perfect employee for us. We can say with full conviction that the decision to hire him has and will continue to advance our company and us personally. We will work with him again at any time."

"For the first time in its 80-year history, our owner-managed family business has commissioned an external service provider to fill a vacant position at management level (HR manager). Rufus Steinkrauss Personal GmbH was chosen because of Mr. Steinkrauss' strong connection to the Upper Franconia region and his remarkable flair for people. Our conclusion: Rufus Steinkrauss is a personnel consultant who meets people at eye level, inspires and really inspires - thank you very much."
