Customer satisfaction
Over 50 years
of experience as a recruitment agency
While the number of pupils is set to rise by around 9% by the 2031 school year, Germany will be short of around 68,000 teachers in general education schools by then. The picture is similar for other roles in the education and social services sector.
This is where we come in, placing experienced specialists and managers , as well as career changers, in an uncomplicated, fast and personalised manner.
The future of recruitment
in the education and social services sectors
The shortage of skilled workers is once again evident in social professions and in education, making it difficult for institutions in these sectors to fill important positions.

Thanks to our extensive candidate network and targeted direct contact on recruitment portals, we find exactly the right candidates for your open positions.
We can look back on numerous successful placements and are delighted to be able to contribute to combating the shortage of skilled workers in these important areas.
