"We needed to hire a General Counsel in Berlin and turned to Deep Blue. 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.

What Lingoda says

"At Lingoda, we were facing challenges finding the right General Counsel in Berlin’s highly competitive legal market. We were referred to Deep Blue and immediately saw the value of their deep relationships and reach across Germany’s legal community.

The quality of candidates, speed of the process and level of communication stood out from the beginning. Deep Blue introduced us to outstanding candidates who were not actively on the market, and we quickly found a candidate who was an excellent fit both professionally and culturally.

We would highly recommend Deep Blue to any company hiring legal talent in Germany. Their network and understanding of the market are exceptional."
