5-star PRIMEPEOPLE recognized as a top IT headhunter!

In its latest personnel consultancy ranking (in German), WirtschaftsWoche not only honored the year’s most reputable headhunters but also identified the leading lights rising above the crowd in IT and digitization. 

This marks the third time that Christel Gade, Professor at the International University of Applied Sciences Bad Honnef - Bonn, has compiled a ranking of the most acclaimed headhunters in Germany. An expert in the field of personnel consulting, she devised a corresponding questionnaire that was completed by 1,400 HR decision-makers at German companies between July and October. Having answered questions on a range of topics such as their level of satisfaction with their headhunters, respondents were ultimately asked to award stars for good or outstanding service – and only the very best recruiters made the final cut.

The results are a vivid demonstration of how the industry is evolving. Having previously been dominated by high-profile names like Egon Zehnder, Heidrick & Struggles, and Kienbaum, the list now features a growing collection of newcomers such as PRIMEPEOPLE. We are absolutely thrilled with this development, as we stand to benefit significantly from the major ongoing shift toward digitization and have set out our stall accordingly. Now that digitization has entered almost every branch of the economy and is already a fixture at all levels of management, companies are increasingly looking to recruit experts with corresponding skill sets. A study conducted this spring by the market research institute GfK as part of a commission from the consulting firm Etventure provided further evidence of this trend, with 62 per cent of decision-makers surveyed confirming that digital transformation was one of their top three most important corporate goals. And while 68 per cent stated that the Managing Director or CEO was responsible for this process, some 46 per cent reported that they wanted to recruit more digital experts.

PRIMEPEOPLE is perfectly adapted to this task, boasting over 15 years’ experience as a specialist provider of recruiting and personnel services for demanding IT positions – including executive level roles. Focusing primarily on small and medium-sized IT companies entering the world of digitization, we are well prepared for the transformations resulting from increased utilization of IT. For example, PRIMEPEOPLE has now developed an online portal to provide clients with access to all information concerning a particular project, including candidate profiles, contracts, agreements, and candidate feedback following interviews. Candidates can also view and edit the information relating to their profile online at any time, subject of course to the strict supervision of the in-house data protection officer.  

All members of the PRIMEPEOPLE team support candidates and clients with a clear digital approach, serving as highly specialized personnel consultants and networkers who know the world of IT inside out. These IT professionals have achieved successful careers of their own, working in corporate groups and SMEs as executive board members, managing directors, and sales managers among other positions. Our clients benefit from our active knowledge of the industry, the networks we have established over many years, and our IT expertise. “We identify candidates and clients who are passionate about achieving a lasting impact in IT, personnel consulting, and the modern workplace,” explains CEO Irene Bladt. “And we pinpoint positive-minded prospects, gifted communicators, and digital experts who want to join us in shaping the future.”
