What JOB AG does

JOB AG (legally JOBAG Personaldienstleistungen AG) is a privately held German staffing and personnel services company headquartered in Fulda, operating as an Aktiengesellschaft (stock corporation). Founded in 2003, the firm runs a network of 40+ branch offices across Germany delivering temporary staffing (Arbeitnehmerüberlassung), direct placement (Personalvermittlung), Temp-to-Perm, and outsourced personnel management (Personalmanagement) services. Revenue is generated principally through the margin between employee wages and client billing rates on temporary assignments, with placement fees on permanent hires and professional services fees on HR management engagements contributing additionally.

The company operates a multi-brand portfolio: JOB AG Medicare specializes in healthcare, nursing, and education staffing; JOB AG Personal serves industrial, trade, logistics, and commercial clients; and the wholly-owned Bräse & Hagedorn GmbH provides commercial-technical staffing in Berlin and Leipzig for automotive, mechanical, electrical, and chemical/pharmaceutical industries. All three operating subsidiaries (JOBAG Infraserve GmbH, JOBAG Personal GmbH, Bräse & Hagedorn GmbH) are wholly owned by the parent AG. The technology stack is conventional and third-party dependent — Algolia for job search, Cloudflare and AWS for infrastructure, booked4.us for appointments, Google Maps for location — without disclosed proprietary AI or matching IP.

JOB AG sells through dedicated sales managers and account managers embedded at each branch (sales-led GTM), with the website job portal and iOS/Android mobile app providing self-serve channels for job seekers. Employer clients range from SMEs to large enterprises across healthcare, education, retail, logistics, manufacturing, crafts, and commerce; job seekers are matched by personal consultants to both advertised and exclusive, non-publicly listed positions. The firm operates under the GVP collective agreement (Gesamtverband der Personaldienstleister), holds TÜV DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 certification (since May 2016; certified since 2004), and has been recognized as a kununu TOP Company for five consecutive years (2022–2026). Leadership consists of CEO Andreas Elsner (Vorstand) with supervisory board oversight from Stefan Polak (Chairman), Dr. Harald Hohmann (Deputy Chairman), Prof. Dr. Karsten Hadwich, and Wolfgang Staminski.
