MU is named one of Germany's top 40 recruitment consultancies of 2025 by Handelsblatt

By Andreas Frische

The Handelsblatt Research Institute has once again identified Germany's top recruitment consultancies, and MU is keeping its place on the top 40 list.

The Handelsblatt Research Institute (HRI), in cooperation with The IQ Company, has identified a selection of internationally active personnel consulting firms of various sizes in a survey. Afterwards, a peer group of 20,800 employees from 2800 personnel consultancies had the opportunity to name what they considered to be the most renowned companies in this industry. In addition to this evaluation, about 52,000 managers and HR managers were asked about their experiences with personnel consulting companies.

Whilst doing the review, Handelsblatt also looked at some of the challenges that recruiters currently face. Where the economical uncertainties in the world plays a big role. You can find the online article with the insights from Handelsblatt here along with the list of the top 40 recruitment consultancies. It is also also published in the Handelsblatt print edition.

Thank you, Handelsblatt for again recognising MU as a top recruitment firm in Germany!
