A RECRUITMENT PROCESS ON EQUAL TERMS

BORBET ranks first in the ‘Top Recruiting Ranking 2026’

For many job seekers, the way the application process works is a key factor. How quickly do you receive feedback? What are the interviews like? And do you feel taken seriously when interacting with the company?

The 2026 Top Recruiting Ranking by kununu and the SZ Institute assessed precisely this aspect of the application process. The ranking is based exclusively on reviews from applicants on kununu who share their experiences during the application process.

We are delighted that BORBET GmbH, based in the Hochsauerlandkreis district, has taken first place in this ranking with a score of 4.94 out of 5 points. In their reviews, applicants particularly highlight quick responses, transparent processes and interviews conducted on an equal footing.

Prompt feedback and open discussions


The fact that applicants perceive these aspects in this way is also linked to the way we have developed our recruitment processes over the past few years.

“We have deliberately designed our recruitment processes so that applicants receive prompt feedback and feel valued throughout the entire process,” says Carolin Mittermaier, Head of HR at BORBET.

Our application process is therefore deliberately clearly structured:

‘You’re not just a number; you’re an asset to the company’






Denis Bukaev, who has been working as a smelter in the foundry at BORBET in Hallenberg-Hesborn since 2 January 2026, describes what the application process is like from an applicant’s perspective.

Within a week of applying, he received a response and was invited to an interview.

He found the atmosphere during the interview particularly positive:
“The interviews were conducted on an equal footing. You didn’t feel like just a number, but rather that you were seen as an asset to the company.”

He sums up his experience as follows:
Quick. Straightforward. On an equal footing.
