Staffbase SE is a high-growth, AI-native employee experience platform used by thousands of companies worldwide to reach and engage their employees. As the business continued its international expansion, the leadership team required an experienced General Counsel in Berlin, Germany to guide global legal, compliance and governance.

They partnered with Deep Blue Recruitment, looking for a specialist General Counsel headhunter in Berlin - to lead the search.

Within seven days, we delivered a targeted shortlist. Working closely with the Staffbase team, the search concluded with the successful hire of a senior legal leader who now directs the company’s global legal, compliance and governance strategy.

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Dennis Jansen as Chief Legal Officer of Staffbase SE.

From the very first conversation, it was clear they understood the German legal market - they have deep expertise and vast legal network as a headhunter for General Counsel roles. Within just 7 days, they delivered a shortlist of excellent candidates, and we hired a great General Counsel. Their speed, precision, and professionalism set them apart. If you’re looking for a headhunter to hire your next General Counsel, I would highly recommend Deep Blue.”
