Personnel leasing, an increasingly sought-after solution on the German market

Before COVID-19, the personnel leasing market registered increases from year to year, both in terms of the volume of temporary employees and in terms of turnover. However, the last year’s epidemic showed that while the whole market is promising, closer looks on segments of industries show that not all industries could find workforce supply domestically, and some industries had to recruit even during lockdowns in order to keep the production going – e.g. agriculture. However, the market seems to reshuffles. Infrastructure and railway construction sites start to need this type workforce as well.

According our consultants’ analysis, companies from infrastructure and railway industries from the German market are resorting to this form of employment.

 “In terms of staff leasing, large multinational companies, with a consistent number of employees, use this form of employment to make their costs more efficient and to eliminate the risks associated with unwanted employment. It is also a method that can be successfully practiced for occupying certain positions that were not taken into account and budgeted in the annual plan, but for which we want to hire staff, regardless of the time of year, “said Gabriel Florea, CEO at Geologic HR.

There are, of course, market segments where employment is influenced by the seasonal factor, especially when we talk about unskilled work, for which leasing staff  is used: handlers, staff involved in infrastructure projects, railway production and development. 

According to our consultants keeping an eye on the German market, this form of employment is most common in large cities, such as Berlin, Frankfurt or Munich, or in areas where there are industrial centers or important production facilities such as Hamburg, Hannover or Cologne.

“For this type of service, our agency Geologic HR offers our partners complete and transparent solutions for the entire human resources management process, from staff management to salary calculation. Besides the implicit advantages of temporary work, the gain brought by technology makes the difference in terms of service quality, delivery time and process transparency “, explained Gabriel Florea, Geologic HR’s CEO.

Other benefits associated with leasing staff  are reduced recruitment time and costs, as well as access to new sources of candidates through the databases that agencies have available. At Geologic HR we put all our leadership and business skills into action for our business partners. We understand the market’s challenges and we are building innovative strategies and online campaigns to recruit the best temporary workers.  Last but not least, we ensure that these jobs can deliver both core labor and a sustainable income, with legal protections, wages, and safety nets that are enjoyed by temporary workers in the whole EU, taking pressure from our partners in finding the right people.
