Call when a position is genuinely stuck.
Staffing agencies earn on success. We show you the companies whose positions are demonstrably hard to fill – plus companies that don't advertise at all, the right decision-makers and triggers such as new locations or changes in leadership.
The challenge
What holds back sales in this industry.
Unsuitable profiles are a nuisance
Four out of five companies surveyed say most of the profiles they receive unsolicited are not a fit. Calling without reference to a specific vacancy gets you turned away.
Work without a guarantee
More than half of agencies work purely on a success basis, often in parallel with competitors. Every unsuitable assignment costs time that isn't paid for.
Smaller market, many providers
The temporary staffing market shrank in 2025, while according to the German Federal Employment Agency there are around 39,000 staffing agencies. Whoever calls first with the right trigger wins.

Position open for a long time
A position has been advertised for more than eight weeks.
Why it matters: The internal search isn't making progress – in shortage occupations, positions often stay vacant for months.
“Your job ad has been online for ten weeks – we regularly fill exactly this profile in your region.”
Why now
What is moving your market right now.
Fewer vacancies, harder cases
According to the IAB, there were around one million vacancies in the second quarter of 2026 – the lowest level since 2016 outside the COVID lockdowns. The remaining vacancies are often the hard-to-fill ones.
Temporary staffing under pressure
The market shrank in 2025, with price pressure and the economy weighing on it. Predictable new business is becoming a question of survival for providers.
AI in recruiting
According to the Barometer Personalvermittlung, around two thirds of agencies use AI, but only a quarter of companies do. Supporting customers with it gives you an additional reason to reach out.
What matters
Your questions, our answers.
We already have job ad data or a crawler.+
A crawler shows the position. We deliver the complete market – including companies that don't advertise at all – the right decision-makers rather than generic addresses, and signals beyond the job ad, such as new locations or changes in leadership.
Can you take exclusions into account?+
Yes. We match existing customers, framework agreement customers and other exclusion lists against your market and remove them.
Is the outreach legally sound?+
For every contact, we supply the source and verification status. A specific, factual trigger – which is exactly what signals are – is the basis for relevant and permissible outreach in B2B. How you set up your outreach from a legal perspective is something you should agree with your legal advisers.
Can we get the data into our CRM?+
Companies, contacts and signals are written directly into your CRM and kept up to date there on an ongoing basis, with no duplicates of your existing records. An export as a spreadsheet is always possible.
