Service contracts: our offer for companies through freelancer placement 

Are you planning a project for which you need additional capacity or specific expertise? Together we will find the right experts for you in our talent pool who will actively support you on a freelance basis. We take care of pre-selection, contacting the freelancers and contract processing. 

How does the freelancer placement work? 

Would you like to know what contracting actually means for you? Contracting is a triangular relationship between freelancer, personnel service provider and company - similar to temporary employment. The personnel service provider (in this case us at Hays) concludes a contract with the freelancer and sells their services to the commissioning company (in this case you). 

 

We provide you with expert support from the start of the project to its completion and ensure that you receive the support you need. If a freelancer you have found with us is unavailable, we will quickly find a replacement. You can also expect comprehensive advice on compliant sourcing - together we will ensure that you organise flexible forms of work in a legally compliant manner. We look forward to explaining our services to you in more detail in a personal meeting. 

Service contracts for freelancers

Freelancer placement is completely free of charge for our candidates. You decide for yourself which of our proposed projects really suit you and where you would like to apply. As a professional personnel service provider, we attach great importance to the quality of the enquiries and make sure that the requirements are a good match for you. In our freely accessible career centre, you will also receive helpful tips and tricks relating to the application process.  

 

Take a look at our freelancer job board, you may find a suitable offer here. If no suitable project appeals to you at the moment, send us an unsolicited application so that we can include you in our pool of freelancers. Your contact person is looking forward to getting to know you!
