Testimonials

What our customers say.

  • A clear recommendation for Deniz and the BlackSheep team. From first contact to signing the contract, the experience with Deniz was positive throughout, professional and very likeable too. Refreshing to work with someone who is not a typical recruitment consultant but really solves a problem with modern technology. Deniz and the team wanted to understand exactly how we work and took feedback on board right away. It is great fun. Thank you very much!

  • We have been working with BlackSheep on recruiting for some time now and are genuinely thrilled with the results. The full-service social media funnel in particular works extremely well. Everything, from creating the campaigns and the graphics to the communication, is handled professionally. The team is always reachable, thinks along with us and keeps developing the campaigns. Whether it is adapting to our internal review cycles or trying new ideas, we get fast, solution-oriented and competent support. The phone pre-screening of applicants is a big plus: we only talk to candidates who really match our requirements. The quality of applicants and the share of suitable candidates are clearly higher than with our previous recruiting approaches. All in all, a very professional collaboration with a committed team. Clear recommendation!

    Danka Overhoff Head of HR, Region West Aarsleff Rohrsanierung View LinkedIn profile: Danka Overhoff
  • What convinced me most was the easy coordination, the clear, proactive communication and the transparent reporting. When something got stuck, it was addressed openly and solved right away - no frills, just getting it done. That built trust and noticeably took the load off our TA team.

    Frederic Faßbender Head of Talent Acquisition Contilia-Gruppe View LinkedIn profile: Frederic Faßbender
  • With BlackSheep we gained a reliable and creative partner who helps us position our group as an attractive employer. We were especially impressed by their feel for our values and their understanding of how to carry them outward authentically. From the start, the collaboration was professional, transparent and built on mutual trust. By using the right social media funnels, we made our employer brand visible exactly where the target groups we urgently need actually spend their time - a partnership that is not only fun but creates real value.

  • Working with Deniz and the BlackSheep team is simply fun! From the first idea to the launch of our recruiting campaign, everything just fit. The team is incredibly fast, flexible and always thinks along towards solutions. Changes were made without fuss, and communication was open and reliable at all times. We felt in the best of hands and are already looking forward to our next projects together. A clear recommendation from our side!

  • Through thick and thin together - that is how you could describe our collaboration. We stuck together from the start, made mistakes and solved them together. That is how we grew, learned from each other and developed new ideas. Deniz and Timo got up to speed with the team incredibly fast and showed real initiative. That let me trust them quickly, and they gave me exactly the backing I needed.

    Jasmin Habegger Head of Talent Acquisition opta-data Gruppe View LinkedIn profile: Jasmin Habegger
  • Working together was simply great: smooth, trustworthy and to the point. Their commitment and expertise made a huge contribution to the success of our recruiting initiatives. We value their professionalism and team spirit and look forward to many more projects together!
