Answer questions

Do you have questions?

One of the most important advantages of a recruitment agency is that it saves time. Furthermore, despite the shortage of skilled labour in Germany, recruitment agencies offer sufficient qualified employees at the right time. Our temporary staff or subcontractor from our recruitment agency recruit for Poland, Hungary, Croatia, The Czech Republic or the Baltics and take care of the organisational work, deals with permits and communication and ensures that recruitment from Eastern Europe runs smoothly.

Do you want to bring in labour from Eastern Europe for a certain period of time? Then temporary labour or temp employment come into question. In the case of temporary employment, the temporary workers are permanently employed by a temporary employment agency and are only seconded to your company in Germany.

In contrast, with temporary staffing, the suitable labour from Eastern Europe is hired directly by a company in Germany. The disadvantage of temporary work is that a temporary employee can only be hired out for 9 months. 

The costs of a recruitment agency are borne by the client, i.e., the company hiring the staff, which is committed to the recruitment process. You do not pay us a high commission, only a once-off placement fee, but only if the recruitment from Eastern Europe is successful.

Thanks to our large international network, we place qualified specialists for industry and trade as well as auxiliary staff from Poland, Hungary, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, the Ukraine, as well as other third countries. 

Our temporary workers and subcontractors speak German and have already gained experience as employees in Germany.
