This year, for the first time, they have also examined the market for personnel consultancies. This is no small step: it is one of the few rankings in Germany that is based exclusively on independent peer and customer opinions, without self-disclosure, without marketing budgets, without listing fees.  <\/p><p>Statista surveyed three independent groups for the ranking: HR managers in companies, external recruitment consultants and candidates who were referred by recruitment consultants themselves. Those who are recommended have earned it through real work. Self-recommendations are excluded. It is also not possible to buy or apply for a placement. The ranking is determined solely by the quality of the advice provided, as brand eins itself puts it: Nothing. Except good work.     <\/p><p>194 recruitment consultancies made it into the 2026 list of the best. Kooku is one of them and achieved the highest possible score in the Professional Search category. The complete overview of all award-winning recruitment consultants can be found directly on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brandeins.de\/magazine\/brand-eins-thema\/berater-2026\/die-besten-personalberater-des-jahres-2026\">brand eins list of the best recruitment consultants 2026<\/a>.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-497339c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"497339c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>What professional search means and why it is particularly relevant for SMEs<\/h2><p>Professional search is the targeted search for and filling of specialist and management positions below C-level. Specifically, this involves team leaders, senior managers, heads of roles and experts with specialist knowledge that is difficult to replace, i.e. the positions that are often more decisive for the operational business in medium-sized companies than any appointment to the board. <\/p><p>While classic executive search targets the top management network, professional search is aimed at the volume that most companies deal with on a daily basis &#8211; team leaders, senior managers and heads of roles. Our <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/kooku-staging.digitalagenten.com\/en\/expert-search\/\">Expert Search<\/a> is geared precisely to these positions. In our experience with over 250 client projects in more than ten years, it is precisely these roles where SMEs feel the greatest pain: too few qualified candidates in the active market, too little capacity internally, and too little structured process to not only find the right people, but also to win them over.  <\/p><p>This is the field we have been working on since 2014. And in which the independent assessment by brand eins and Statista now gives us full marks. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b5314f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0b5314f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Why Kooku convinces in Professional Search<\/h2><p>An award is a nice signal, but the interesting question is the one behind it: Why do clients, candidates and colleagues from the industry recommend us to others?<\/p><p>We believe it&#8217;s down to three things.<\/p><h3>Firstly, we measure everything.<\/h3><p>Our fill rate is <strong>85.9%<\/strong> across all projects. We bill hourly, not commission-based, and that forces us to justify every step in the process. No bloat, no ghosting, no hidden disincentives.  <\/p><h3>Secondly, we work with active sourcing, not with yesterday&#8217;s databases.<\/h3><p>Over 250 customers in more than ten years have given us a very clear picture of which channels really work for which target groups in which sectors and which do not. This knowledge is in our processes, not in glossy presentations. <\/p><h3>Thirdly: We also say no sometimes.<\/h3><p>If a company has a vacancy that we cannot fill with a good probability of success, we say so. We turn down <strong>one in seven mandates<\/strong> if the employer branding or the process limits the chances of success too much. This is sometimes uncomfortable, but it is honest. Here is more detail on how we measure this: <a style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/kooku-staging.digitalagenten.com\/en\/recruiting-blog\/employer-branding-score-besetzungsquote\/\">Employer branding score: How do we achieve an 85.9% fill rate?<\/a>  <\/p><p>These three things together are probably the reason why the feedback from clients and candidates is such that brand eins and Statista recommend us.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d589b0e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d589b0e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>What the award for best personnel consultancy means for your company<\/h2><p>If you have an important vacancy to fill and are considering which recruitment consultancy is right for you, this award will give you independent guidance. It&#8217;s not us who say we&#8217;re good, but others who have hired us or worked with us. <\/p><p>The brand eins \/ Statista ranking is one of the few evaluation bases on the German recruitment consultancy market that is not based on self-disclosure or marketing budgets. As an <strong>award-winning recruitment consultancy<\/strong>, we not only stand for promises of quality, but also for proven recommendations from the field. <\/p><p>In concrete terms, this means that when you hire us, you are working with a recruitment consultancy that other companies recommend.
