Eurostaff

What Eurostaff does

StaffGroup GmbH, operating under the brand Eurostaff/StaffGroup, is a Berlin-based specialist recruitment consultancy founded in 2003 that places freelancers, permanent employees, and temporary workers (Zeitarbeit) with European client organizations. The firm operates through a network of 7 offices across Europe and serves three vertical specializations: Information Technology, Property & Construction, and Human Resources. Its service portfolio encompasses permanent placement, freelance/contract staffing, and traditional temporary labor, supported by a direct website portal where candidates can register CVs and clients can post roles. The company reports a track record of 4,700 permanent placements and 8,600 freelance placements, with a multilingual team covering more than 10 European languages.

Revenue is generated through transaction-based placement fees, the standard monetization model for recruitment agencies, with fees negotiated per placement or on a retained search basis. The go-to-market is sales-led, with direct consultant engagement across regional offices (Berlin HQ plus offices in Hamburg, Stuttgart, and Hessen in Germany, plus additional European locations) supplemented by an SEO-driven job portal and content marketing on the corporate website. The firm differentiates itself as the first recruitment consultancy in Europe to offer a climate-neutral recruitment process and positions its value proposition around personalized, sustainable, long-term relationships with both candidates and clients. StaffGroup is privately held by three directors — Nils Richter, Jamie Reynolds, and Nick Gordon — with no external investors, parent company, or holding structure identified in the available data.
