DEKRA Arbeit Group Commits to New GVP Quality Standards in Recruitment

For many years, the DEKRA Arbeit Group has stood for professionalism, transparency, and responsible HR services. With the introduction of the new quality standards for recruitment by the Gesamtverband der Personaldienstleister e. V. (GVP), we are sending another clear signal of our commitment to quality and integrity.

 Based on the principles of the Honourable Merchant as well as current regulations on equality, anti-discrimination and data protection, the standards create a binding framework for fair, efficient, and ethical recruitment processes. Signatories – including the DEKRA Arbeit Group – deliberately go beyond legal requirements and rely on maximum transparency and professionalism in their interactions with companies and candidates.

The Six Core Elements of the Quality Standards

1. High Competence of Recruitment Professionals

Recruitment consultants possess solid technical and methodological expertise, engage in continuous professional development, and maintain strong networks to consistently achieve optimal placement results.

2. Trust-Based Relationships with Candidates and Clients

The DEKRA Arbeit Group focuses on long-term, respectful relationships. We prioritise sustainable placements and candidate well-being to ensure stable and successful employment relationships.

3. Transparent Communication Throughout the Entire Process

Openness is a key success factor: we conduct comprehensive needs analyses and provide clients and candidates with regular, transparent updates at every stage of the recruitment process.

4. Careful and Responsible Candidate Selection

In addition to professional qualifications, we consider development potential and cultural fit. Our placements are conducted independently and always in line with the highest ethical standards.

5. Systematic Quality Management and a Strong Feedback Culture

We continuously work to optimise our services: metrics such as time-to-fill or acceptance rates are actively used to enhance processes and create long-term value for all stakeholders.

6. Data Protection and GDPR Compliance

The protection of personal data is a top priority. All data is handled confidentially and processed in accordance with strict GDPR requirements.

A Strong Signal of Trust and Quality

The new GVP quality standards strengthen trust between recruitment professionals, client companies, and candidates. They ensure a professional, fair, and ethical approach – values that the DEKRA Arbeit Group has upheld for many years. 

By officially committing to these standards, we are now authorised to use the corresponding GVP label. It visibly underscores our dedication to the highest quality – both internally and externally.
