Hueber

What Hueber does

Hueber is a Berlin-based personnel leasing and temporary staffing firm that has operated continuously since 1988 under the legal name HUEBER GmbH Personal Leasing und Service. The company places qualified workers — across commercial/administrative, industrial, pedagogical, medical, and hospitality roles — into client companies throughout the Berlin and Potsdam region under Germany's Arbeitnehmerüberlassung framework. It holds the required regional permit issued by the Regionaldirektion Berlin Brandenburg (responsibility transferred to Agentur für Arbeit Kiel), has maintained ISO 9001 certification since 1996 (currently ISO 9001:2015), and joined the Bundesverband of the industry (GVP) in November 2025.

The core product is the Personalleasing und Service platform, supported by a suite of light digital tools: an online job-finder portal with filterable listings by category and location, an online time-tracking system (HUEBER-Zeiterfassungssystem, live since 2009), a callback request service, and an online application form for unsolicited submissions. Hueber deploys roughly 400 workers across approximately 275 business partners through five physical branch offices (Berlin-Steglitz HQ, Berlin-Reinickendorf, Berlin-Marzahn, Berlin-Adlershof, and Potsdam). The company also operates a wholly owned regional subsidiary, Hueber Personalmanagement GmbH, established in Potsdam in 1998 and merged with the Berlin operations under a unified structure in 2018.

The revenue model is a transaction-fee structure: bill rates for worker hours are charged to client companies, and payment flows to deployed workers at posted hourly wages ranging from €14.96 to €24 depending on role specialization. Pricing to clients is not publicly disclosed and is set on a quote basis. Distribution is direct — five branches serve as regional recruitment and sales hubs, augmented by job-fair presence, sports sponsorships (notably Berlin Recycling Volleys), and a Facebook page. The company is privately held, led by Managing Director Thomas Haun, with no external private equity, parent company, or public shareholders indicated in the available data.
