Steinbach & Partner Among the Top Executive Search Firms

Did your know... More than 99% of all companies in Germany are classified as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) – that’s over 3.4 million businesses according to the EU definition, representing around 99.2% of all private enterprises in 2023. (Source: IfM Bonn)

That’s why we are especially pleased that Steinbach & Partner has once again been ranked among the most sought-after service providers for SMEs – backed by two recent studies: 

In the latest study conducted by WirtschaftsWoche (in collaboration with ServiceValue and Handelsblatt), more than 20,000 executives from medium-sized companies were surveyed – and Steinbach & Partner is once again among the top-rated executive search firms in Germany in terms of quality, reliability, and client orientation. 

This is no one-off: year after year, we consistently rank among the top consultancies in this annual survey. 

Additionally, Süddeutsche Zeitung has named us one of the “Best Executive Search Firms 2025” – a strong affirmation of our commitment and a powerful signal. 

We are thrilled by both recognitions and see them as motivation for the future!
