Under Temporary Staffing – also known as temporary staffing, temporary work, or agency work – refers to a situation in which a staffing agency assigns employees from its own pool to a company for a limited period of time. The advantage: flexible staffing without long-term employment contracts.
The Temporary Employment in Eastern Europe builds a bridge between German companies and qualified workers from Eastern Europe. As a recruitment agency, we handle the entire process—from candidate selection to obtaining the necessary permits and arranging housing.
Temporary staffing from Eastern Europe presents specific challenges. As an experienced staffing agency, we have a proven solution for each one:
Language Skills
Some Eastern European workers do not have a sufficient command of the German language—this leads to misunderstandings and makes it more difficult for them to integrate into the workplace.
All candidates in our pool are tested on their German language skills. If necessary, we arrange language training before their assignment.
Fair Pay
Minimum wage, safety regulations, equal pay after 9 months—the legal requirements for compensating foreign workers are complex and constantly changing.
We handle all payroll processing and ensure that all compensation regulations are followed correctly and in accordance with the law.
Recognition of Qualifications
In some professions, foreign qualifications must be recognized in Germany. The recognition process is time-consuming and opaque to many companies.
We support our employees and the client companies and handle all the formalities related to the recognition of qualifications.
Legal Complexity
The German Temporary Employment Act (AÜG), the German Foreign Workers Act (AEntG), the A1 Certificate, equal pay, and maximum assignment duration—the legal requirements for temporary employment from abroad are extensive.
With over 35 years of experience, we know the legal framework inside and out. We provide legally sound contracts and ensure full compliance.
Recruitment Process
We help you successfully recruit skilled workers from Eastern Europe and EU countries to Germany and support you every step of the way—from candidate search and qualification review to signing the contract.
Employee Relocation & Integration
We help foreign workers relocate to Germany and ensure a smooth transition into their new company—from arranging housing to providing orientation on company procedures.
