The multi-service provider Klüh has emerged as the winner of the prestigious BEST RECRUITERS Study 2025/26 conducted by career Institut & Verlag. The Düsseldorf-based family-owned company secured both first place in the “Facility/Security Services” category and first place in the overall ranking of all 517 employers surveyed in Germany. Thus, the largest recruitment study in the German-speaking world has recognised Klüh as having the highest standard of recruitment in Germany.
BEST RECRUITERS assesses the recruitment performance of more than 1,400 employers in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein every year. In the study period 2025/26, in Germany alone, 517 companies were assessed on the basis of 330 scientifically established criteria. The analysis focuses on the entire candidate journey – from the recruitment website, job advertisements and application processes, right through to communication with candidates and the handling of feedback. Klüh was awarded the gold BEST RECRUITERS seal for its outstanding recruitment quality.
“We are immensely proud to have been recognised as Germany’s best recruitment department. This success is based on the daily processing of thousands of applications, the continuous analysis and further development of our recruitment processes, and our commitment to providing applicants with a professional, respectful and modern application process at all times. “The award confirms that we are on the right track and motivates us to keep improving the candidate experience,” explains Viktoria Kaiser, Head of HR at Klüh.
The overall victory reflects the consistent development of the recruitment process at Klüh. The company is continuously investing in digital application processes, a user-friendly careers page and innovative functions that make the application process even more transparent and user-friendly. For example, the function “Your commute” provides applicants with information about their individual journey to the workplace directly in the job advertisement. In addition, Klüh expressly informs applicants that every application is reviewed personally by its recruiters – and not by AI. What’s more, job advertisements and communication measures are regularly analysed and optimised to provide applicants with an application process that is as simple, transparent and service-oriented as possible.
The award is one of a series of independent employer ratings. Just recently, Klüh was once again recognised as a “Most Wanted Employer” by the ZEIT Publishing Group and by kununu, as well as being awarded the kununu Top Company seal . Furthermore, the employer branding campaign “I don’t work for just anyone” won the German Brand Award.
Klüh is currently offering around 300 vacancies across a wide range of professions and career levels. All vacancies can be found at www.jobs.klueh.de.
