GS Company

What GS Company does

GS Company GmbH & Co.KG is a German personnel placement and recruitment agency headquartered in Oranienburg, Brandenburg, with branch offices in Cottbus (regional headquarters) and Hoyerswerda (Saxony). Founded in 2003 by Jan Grawunder, the firm is co-led by managing directors Jan Grawunder and Enrico Kitschun, and operates as a private limited partnership. It exclusively focuses on permanent placement (Personalvermittlung) and executive search, and explicitly does not offer temporary staffing (Zeitarbeit).

The firm's core services comprise four interconnected offerings: an online job board (Jobbörse) for employer postings and job seeker applications, dedicated personnel placement and headhunting (Personalvermittlung), job placement support for candidates (Arbeitsvermittlung), and strategic HR consulting (Personalberatung). Underlying technology is conventional web infrastructure: the website integrates Google Maps for location-based job search, Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for traffic analytics, and Google Fonts for typography; there are no proprietary AI or ML systems. Pricing is delivered as fixed-price (Festpreis) packages rather than hourly billing or subscription, and a franchise model ('Heldenvermittler') extends the brand via licensed operators with a 10,000 EUR entry threshold.

Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis tied to successful permanent placements. The customer base spans enterprise clients across healthcare (Deutsche Seniorenwohnen GmbH, Seniorenzentrum Albert Schweitzer), industrial plant services (FAM Anlagen-Service GmbH, part of BEUMER Group), environmental services (BUG Dienstleistungen GmbH & Co. KG), and regional banking (Volksbank Spree-Neiße eG). Go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct engagement at branch offices with the self-serve online job portal and a referral program offering a 200 EUR bonus per successful placement. Marketing channels include the company website, the job board, a Facebook presence targeted at franchise prospects, and membership in BVMW, the German SME association.
