  • Adrian Crawford
    Director Research & Development

    "There are not enough superlatives in English to truly express the professionalism, quality, and tireless endeavour of Adaptive. Every single touch-point from initial conversation to package negotiation is effortless for them. They deliver value on top of deep domain knowledge of a rapidly evolving industry. If Adaptive commit, they close. I have no hesitation whatsoever to recommend Adaptive to anyone. To put it simply, you will not regret it."

  • Thomas Seitz
    Managing Director

    “Recruiting for vacancies in the area of engineering and technical service has been a major challenge for us in the past. Long recruitment times, the pre-selection of unsuitable candidates and the final filtering of core competencies took up a lot of our resources.I would highly recommend Adaptive as an excellent recruitment agency. Adaptive provided us with competent, comprehensive, and professional support in filling the position of the second service technician at VISIONIX Deutschland GmbH."

  • Jared Cardon
    Director, QRC

    “Rebecca, at Adaptive, is the rare recruiter who can make the recruiting and hiring process as pleasant as possible. She was a delight to work with and I'm still stunned at the turn around time from initial contact to signed contract. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

  • Laura Ghione
    COO

    Working with Adaptive is a real pleasure. Their team is competent, effective and responsive. ​They understand the needs and can provide candidates who fit them in a timely manner. ​Adaptive are responsive and follow up to ensure that their clients are happy with the deal.”

  • Esther Gerteis
    VP Medical & Regulatory Affairs

    “Adaptive has been absolutely outstanding in their role as headhunters. They take the time to listen carefully to the specific needs of clients and only suggests candidates who truly align with those requirements. This thoughtful approach ensures that she isn’t simply filling roles, but finding the perfect fit for each position. Adaptive's ability to find exceptional talent is remarkable. I’m thrilled with the new team members they have brought to us—they are a perfect match for both our professional needs and our company culture."

  • Jana Goss
    Head of Regulatory

    “Working with you, Rebecca, can only become a success story for everybody. You don't see your engagement as simply passing on job offers at will, but look very specifically at what an employer needs and what a potential employee can give. It is not only about the professional component, but also about the extent to which the job and the place of work fit the personal and private situation of a candidate”

  • SAMUEL JOHN
    CEO & Cofounder

    “At first I was hesitant, but be assured that Luke and Adaptive manage to hire high-quality personnel and supports in the communication with great Fingerspitzengefühl”

Our fees are typically based on a percentage of the candidate’s first-year salary, though we also offer fixed-fee structures depending on the project. We can discuss and customize the payment terms to fit your budget and recruitment needs. Generally, you do not pay any fees until you sign one of our candidates.
