Technicum

What Technicum does

Technicum GmbH is a German personnel services company headquartered in Munich that provides temporary staffing (Arbeitnehmerüberlassung) and direct placement (Personalvermittlung) to corporate clients and job seekers across multiple industry verticals. The company operates on a horizontal segmentation model, with stated coverage of sectors including Bergbau (mining), Industrie (industry), Handwerk (trades), Gesundheit & Pflege (healthcare and nursing), Logistik, Produktion, Gastronomie & Hotellerie, Reinigung, Kaufmännisch (commercial/administrative), Berufskraftfahrer (professional drivers), Dienstleistung, and Kosmetik & Beauty. Candidate acquisition is served through a self-service job portal at jobs.technicum.de (allowing search, direct application, speculative applications, and personalized job requests) layered with in-person branch consulting, while corporate clients are acquired through branch-based enterprise field sales, dedicated account managers, direct outreach, and industry networking.

The business model is structured around two revenue streams. Temporary staffing generates revenue via a wage-mark-up on hourly billings to clients (Entleiher), with pricing bound to the DGB/GVP collective bargaining framework — base rate EG1 of €14.96/hour from January 2026, plus overtime/night/weekend/holiday surcharges and tiered experience bonuses — and the company assumes payroll, social contributions, and administrative liability for the deployed workforce. Direct placement generates transaction fees set at 33% of annual gross salary, while temp-to-permanent conversions are priced at 0.8 to 3.2 months of gross salary depending on prior assignment duration (with conversion free after 12 months of assignment). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated deal by deal; surcharges, experience increments, and wage ceilings are standardized through the collective agreement.

The technology stack relies on third-party tooling rather than a proprietary platform: Talention for applicant management and job posting distribution; Indeed web analytics; Google services (YouTube, Maps, Analytics); Microsoft Teams for client and candidate conferencing; and Eye-Able for accessibility (WCAG 2.2 / BITV compliance). The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of RGF Staffing Germany GmbH, itself part of the Recruit Group (founded 1972, Netherlands), a top-4 global HR services provider. It holds an unlimited § 1 AÜG temporary employment permit, the § 15 StrSchVo radiation protection authorization, and a dense certification stack (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 50001, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, SCP), and is a tariff-bound member of the GVP employers' association.

Revenue model

1. Arbeitnehmerüberlassung (Temporary Staffing): Technicum employs temporary workers and assigns them to client companies (Entleiher) for specific assignments. Revenue is generated through mark-up on worker wages billed to clients based on hours worked or project duration. The company handles payroll, social contributions, and administrative tasks for temporary employees. Pricing follows DGB/GVP tariff framework with surcharges for overtime, night work, Sundays, and holidays.
2. Personalvermittlung (Direct Placement/Recruitment): Technicum recruits and pre-qualifies candidates for direct hire positions with client companies. Fees are calculated as a percentage of the annual gross salary (33% for direct placement) or based on temporary-to-permanent conversion tiers (0.8 to 3.2 months salary depending on assignment duration before conversion). Clients receive pre-screened candidates for direct employment.
