What NEXTIME does

NEXTIME Gesellschaft für modernes Personalmanagement mbH is a privately-held, owner-managed personnel services firm headquartered in Regensburg, Germany, founded in 1985 by Ullrich Kolodzey. It operates commercial temporary employment (Arbeitnehmerüberlassung) under an unlimited German license held since 1988, plus personnel placement (Personalvermittlung) under a separate unlimited license granted in 1994. The firm serves approximately 2,130 partner companies across the Bavarian triangle of Regensburg, Munich, and Nuremberg with additional historical presence in Dresden, spanning automotive, manufacturing, logistics, hospitality, events, healthcare, social services, and office administration.

NEXTIME runs a proprietary digital platform ecosystem comprising the DigiX mobile application (digix.nextime.de) for worker data, job scheduling, and availability management with WhatsApp-based job-ticker integration, and the Jobportal (jobportal.nextime.de) for self-service job browsing, syndicated to Indeed for distribution. Both are built on technology provided by partner schubec. The firm holds TÜV Rheinland DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 certification since 2018 (originally certified 1997) and AMS occupational-safety certification, and operates under DGB/IGZ/GVP collective bargaining tariffs with a minimum student-worker wage of €14.53/hour (rising to €14.96/hour from January 2025). Beyond core Zeitarbeit, NEXTIME offers Quality Services (sorting, rework, assembly in its own Regensburg hall), event staffing, outsourcing, and social-services personnel.

NEXTIME's revenue model combines transaction-fee temporary worker leasing (margin between wages paid and client billing) and direct placement commissions, with billable hours typically in the €14.53–€20/hour range. GTM is sales-led via direct enterprise field sales and account management, with an inside-sales/self-service layer through the Jobportal and event-driven candidate acquisition via university career services partnerships (notably the 2023 'Mobi' cooperation and 2024 Campus Jobcorner at the University of Regensburg). Stated 2025–2026 priorities are digitalization, automation, and market-position expansion focused on Nuremberg and Munich.

Revenue model

1. Temporary Worker Leasing (Arbeitnehmerüberlassung): NEXTIME supplies temporary workers to client companies. Workers are employed by NEXTIME and assigned to client companies for temporary periods. NEXTIME charges clients for the worker hours deployed. Revenue is generated through the margin between worker wages paid and client billing rates.
2. Direct Placement (Personalvermittlung): NEXTIME recruits and places candidates directly into permanent positions at client companies. When a placed employee is taken on permanently by the client, NEXTIME typically receives a placement fee or transition commission, which may reduce to zero based on prior temporary assignment duration.
3. Quality Services (Qualitätsdienstleistungen): NEXTIME provides quality control, sorting, rework, and assembly services to manufacturing clients. Services can be delivered on-site at client facilities or in their own sorting and rework hall.
