I was particularly impressed with professional yet friendly approach from Stephan Graefer all the way through the process. In contrast to other representatives of his profession, Stephan Graefer has a big initiative in establishing and maintaining the relation, reacting fast in case of changes and providing all information in a comprehensible way. I was never left without knowing the next steps.
I would recommend Stephan Graefer for above reasons which make him a really good partner.

Mr. Graefer is a very good recruiter. He had contacted me for my current position and I found it very interesting. He had also prepared me very well for the interview and it all went very well. Interestingly, he had visited us/myself during the opening day and we were able to meet and discuss in person as a result. He asked how I was doing and gave many tips to get me through.
I found this accompaniment after the hiring very good.
I can really only recommend him.

Stephan is a great professional, caring for the main goals of its customer. He has a very easy contact and is open to discussion on most topics. He is efficient and gets things done. I had a great experience with Stephan, despite the sanitary conditions he was able to make things happen. I look forward to working with him again hopefully soon.

Stephan has successfully filled positions at our firm both in the international C-Suite and at the national department manager level. His service is always excellent and he is always on the spot. Even if his service is not cheap, it is definitely worth the price.
Stephan has always recommended the most suitable candidate to us, which was not always the one with the highest level of education or salary. He advises us openly and honestly about job requirements and position profiles and also dares to reject our requirements to discuss the real needs and the situation at the local job markets.

Mr. Gräfer is a serious personnel consultant who reacts with the highest flexibility to the frequently changing requirements of our company. He is also pleasantly cautious in his approach to possible search assignments. He is always available and gives feedback/update in a very timely manner. He also does not unconditionally hold on to "his" candidates if they do not meet our expectations.
