The Idea doesn't sound stupid: HR consultants should ideally be good at it People can handle to the matching Candidates hire for a job. What could be more obvious than the quality of the Recruiting-Companys on the basis of employee reviews, which assess precisely these interpersonal skills. But the evaluation mode also offers reason for Criticism.

Rankings - Quick and Dirty?

It's one of those things with rankings: They're popular because they promise a quick overview, for example whether a personnel service provider or a Headhunter something is good.

But as is so with simple Solutions: They usually don't keep what they promise. Because the Welt unfortunately it's complicated. Or to put it another way: Just because a personnel consultant has received countless positive reviews does not mean that it is the best for a candidate - for a wide variety of reasons.

Because the meaningfulness of such evaluation platforms is disputed in specialist circles. For example, Marcus Tandler writes:

“This one review now helpful for the eventual Candidate (the portal is supposed to give potential applicants the opportunity to find out about the new employer in advance) I strongly doubt!
How come? Well, either the HR department takes care of a particularly positive rating (the ratings aren't that extensive anyway, they're just click and rate), or someone who has just been fired / bullied / or otherwise dissatisfied Employees vents a bit through a lousy rating.”

Emotions on the test

The employer application platform Kununu has now set out to fish out the best of the rated personnel consultants from 174.336 reviews. To the Motivation says Kununu in a press release:
Empathy, service orientation, pronounced Communication: The search for and recruitment of new talent requires not only technical knowledge, but also special sensitivity. Personnel consultants act as an important link between employees and employers - it is important to find the best possible candidate for a company or to find the best possible place for an interesting applicant. It is all the more exciting when the HR industry itself is checked for its suitability as an employer and recruiter.

How top are the top 10 personnel?

Discounts for your success (advertising)!

The list shown above has emerged. If you look at the top 10 a bit more closely, you can not complain about the number of ratings: The winner, the HUMANIAX GmbH, brings it to 70 ratings.

And even the last ones with 20 ratings are far above the average of the other 1.3 ratings per company. This fact makes me a bit distrustful: Is the density of positive reviews perhaps pointing to a particularly good work of the personnel department (or their interns)?

More accurate look

It's worth taking a closer look: At i-potentials, for example, there is one negative Evaluation almost immediately a detailed statement from Managing Director Constanze Buchheim. Exemplary – or is it a bit exaggerated?

And for an intern assessment at Humancaps, the trainee gives after a positive evaluation as Benefit Homeoffice. Working at home in an internship? The alarm bells shriek at me immediately, after all the trainee is supposed to learn something and not to be used as a cheap homeworker.

Conclusion

Judging HR consultants in particular according to their interpersonal skills instead of sales figures and fans on the FacebookPage, seems urgently needed, hence an “I like” for the good idea.

However, I dare to doubt whether this important task can be achieved through an employer platform.
