I had a great experience with the Recruitment Circle. Alex and Debby guided me through the whole process of changing to a new position, starting proactively offering me open vacancies and providing constantly useful feedback and advice until the signing of the new contract. Many thanks.

“Bold promises, empty delivery – just another funnel recruiter”

I had a conversation with one of their recruiters regarding a role at SVA GmbH. The recruiter promised – explicitly and repeatedly – that I would get real, honest feedback regardless of outcome, especially because I had shared prior negative experiences with SVA’s vague and dismissive process.

Their website proudly claims:
• “You’ll never hear ‘We couldn’t consider your application.’”
• “Clear feedback only.”
• “Fast and transparent communication.”

Reality? None of that happened.

Despite being pushed into the process and sending a tailored CV, I received a generic copy-paste rejection without a single concrete reason. When I followed up, it became clear they hadn’t even tried to challenge SVA’s lazy internal feedback loop – assuming there was any.

So in the end: another recruiter who wastes your time to fill KPIs and feed hiring pipelines without any real responsibility or respect for candidates.

You’ll be promised a partnership – but you’ll get treated like a number.
Avoid unless you enjoy Groundhog Day in corporate recruiting.

If you’re going to advertise “clear feedback” and “honest advice based on thousands of CVs,” you better make sure you’re not delivering the same meaningless template rejection everyone else does. Otherwise, you’re just another well-designed disappointment.

The only recruiters I can suggest

I've already worked with a few recruiters; I've come across both black sheep and decent people.

Dominic (and Alexander before him) stood out from the crowd and did a very good job.

I felt understood, I was professionally supported and advised (without exceeding or falling short of a certain distance).

So at this point: thank you very much for your work.

But I am actually flashed after less than 20 days with intensive exchange and a signed employment contract on my desk.
Thank you to Dominic, who made the contact and to Robert who helps us whenever we "raise our hands"!

Super friendly staff

Super friendly staff. They handled the process to acceptance perfectly and they handled the communication between me and the company excellently. Unfortunately I had to cancel for personal reasons.

An effortless recruitment experience

Impactful work calls for a great review, and hence here I am, talking about my experience with Recruitment Circle, which is something that I will cherish forever.

I was reached out by Marc Steffens from the team, for my next position in software development, and his dedication towards establishing long-term relationships with candidates and connecting them with firms that provide ample growth opportunities, was something that clearly stood out to me.

Marc was not just a great listener, who gave a patient ear to my needs and expectations, but also a transparent communicator, as he communicated the requirements of suitable firms as well as their feedback to me with utmost transparency and clarity.

Last, but not the least, I was truly impressed that while doing all of the above, Marc always made sure to take my distinct needs and expectations into consideration, thus ensuring that my next role would be at an organization that aligned well with my future goals and values.

I would like to take this moment to thank Marc Steffens and the team at Recruitment Circle for their guidance throughout my recruitment process and would highly recommend them for an effortless recruitment experience!

Keep up the good work, team!

Excellent recruiting experience

I was contacted by Raphael who connected me with an amazing company I didn’t have on my radar before. During the process the support was excellent and I felt the matching of requirements and expectations was done in a very transparent way. Thank you very much!

Amazing team at work

The team at Recruitment Circle is immensely helpful, especially when it comes to getting the first call.
I was consulted by Raphael Eisenberg and Dominic Schulz, who walked me through the process of recruitment very patiently, provided me information about more than three companies, and very calmly listened to all my expectations. They are very considerate and attentive to details. I have never had such an experience with a recruitment agency, where they get you not only an interview call, but also provide you guidance in form of detailed information and prep calls to help you stand out in the interview.
Keep up the good work guys!!!

Perfect communication and support

What I liked the most was the overall good communication. I got introduced to various jobs and companies. Each was very well explained and no question was left open. I received excellent support through the application process and even got help with contract negotiations. I am absolutely satisfied and can recommend Recruitment Circle to everyone.

Not the usual "cookie-cutter" recruiting style company

The success with Recruitment Circle was their genuine interest in matching my expectations and experience as a candidate, with bringing the best talent to the job openings they had. They considered the human factor of the recruiting process and accompanied me throughout the whole process, giving me feedback at each stage and supporting me until the contract's final signing.

I recommend their recruiters, their accompaniment, and their professional advice.
