Temporary employment is a modern form of a generally permanent employment relationship, which is particularly important in today's global competition. As a personnel service provider, we make our employees available to other companies for specific projects and activities. In this way, we support companies in adapting their personnel requirements to the order situation. Temporary staffing therefore also makes an important contribution to the development of the labor market: In recent years, many new jobs have been created on a permanent basis through the involvement of temporary employment agencies. Similarly, certain temporary employment models have often stopped jobs being relocated abroad.
