What STUDENTpartout does

STUDENTpartout GmbH is a German dual-model recruitment platform targeting students and young professionals in Germany and Austria. The company operates two integrated business lines under one brand: (1) an online job board (Online-Jobbörse) with 14,387 active listings where employers post jobs and students search and apply directly, and (2) a Personalservice staffing agency that supplies pre-screened student workers to client companies on demand. The Personalservice operates through 26 branch offices across Germany covering hospitality, events, logistics, retail, and office administration, holding a TÜV Austria-certified quality management system, an indefinite German labor leasing permit, and membership in the GVP tariff community.

The underlying technology is a web-based job board with integrated job search, employer account management, candidate profiling, and email alert (Jobs per E-Mail) functionality. Listings are distributed via multiposting to 20+ partner job boards including LinkedIn Jobs, Google Jobs, Jooble, and Vonq. The site uses social login (Google, Facebook, LinkedIn OAuth), Friendly Captcha anti-bot verification, and consentmanager for GDPR cookie consent. The company publishes an editorial content hub (Study Support, Self- & Healthcare, Jobs & More, regional city guides) that drives organic SEO traffic alongside a newsletter and social sharing channels. Headquartered in Augsburg, the company is a subsidiary of the BUHL-Gruppe, which claims 35+ years of HR services experience.

Revenue is generated through two streams: employer job listing fees ranging from €149 (Standard, 30 days) to €298 (Premium Plus, 30 days), with add-on services (Top Listing €50/week, banner ads €249/week, logo placement €99/week, employer branding packages from €1,490) and volume discount tiers up to 40% off, plus flatrate subscriptions from €990 for 3 months to €1,990 for 12 months; and Personalservice staffing margins from hourly billing of student labor to enterprise clients. Named enterprise customers include AIDA Cruises, Europa-Park, EMBL, Scheck In-Einkaufs-Center, Hotel Michaelis, and PACE Paparazzi Catering & Event.
