promedi Personnel Management

What promedi Personnel Management does

promedi Personalmanagement GmbH is a German staffing and personnel services company founded in 2003 and headquartered in Köln-Wahn, specializing in the placement of medical and social-pedagogical professionals. The company operates three divisions: nursing personnel (Pflegepersonal), emergency medical personnel (Rettungsfachpersonal/Notfallmedizin), and social-pedagogical staff (prostep brand), serving hospitals, clinics, senior residences, nursing homes, ambulance services, and social institutions across Germany through a network of 17 branches.

The company delivers three core service models: temporary staffing (Arbeitnehmerüberlassung), direct placement (Personalvermittlung), and try-and-hire arrangements, where candidates are employed by promedi and assigned to client facilities. Revenue is generated through margins on hourly billing rates for temporary staffing and placement fees for permanent hires. Its technology footprint is modest: a proprietary job portal (jobs.promedi-personal.de), standard marketing infrastructure, and no disclosed AI/ML, software platform, or data flywheel. The company relies on direct employer outreach, social media presence across LinkedIn, XING, Instagram, and Facebook, and Google Ads for candidate and client acquisition.

promedi was acquired by RIW Personalservice GmbH in October 2025, joining the RIW Dienstleistungsgruppe, a family-owned group with over 40 years of history. Under the parent company, promedi continues to operate its brand while consolidating communications and recruitment channels under the RIW umbrella. Recent strategic moves include the launch of the emergency medicine division (February 2025), the social-pedagogical prostep division (November 2024), and the opening of new branches in Euskirchen (November 2024) and Rosenheim, Bavaria (September 2023), alongside a headquarters relocation to modern 500+ square meter offices in Köln-Wahn.

Revenue model

1. Temporary Staffing (Arbeitnehmerüberlassung): The primary revenue stream is employee leasing/temporary staffing for the medical and social pedagogical sectors. The company supplies qualified personnel (nurses, emergency responders, social educators) to healthcare facilities on a temporary basis, earning margins on the hourly rates charged to client facilities. Candidates are employed by promedi and contracted to healthcare employers.
2. Direct Placement (Personalvermittlung): The company recruits and matches candidates directly to permanent positions at healthcare and social pedagogical facilities. Upon successful placement, the client facility pays a placement fee. This model serves employers who need to fill vacant permanent positions without advertising costs or extensive screening effort.
3. Try-and-Hire: A hybrid model where a candidate is initially supplied through temporary staffing. If the employer chooses to permanently hire the candidate, they transition to a direct employment relationship with the facility. This allows facilities to evaluate candidates before committing to a permanent hire.
