Perner Group Holding

What Perner Group Holding does

Perner Group Holding GmbH is a privately held Austrian staffing and personnel services company headquartered in Salzburg, founded in 2008 by Wilfried Perner. The company operates a temporary labor (Arbeitskräfteüberlassung / Zeitarbeit) and personnel leasing (Personalleasing) model: workers are employed by Perner Group and dispatched to client companies on hourly or long-term assignments, with billing based on actual hours worked plus a markup for payroll processing. Approximately 1,000 workers are on the Perner Group payroll in long-term employment, supplemented by a headhunting/executive search service that charges a placement fee for permanent hires.

The company serves five industry verticals — Construction & Building Industry, Trade & Craft, Industry, Healthcare (via the MEDIRent.at sub-brand), and Administration/Office — across Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Distribution is built around a direct-sales force of roughly 15 Personalmanager (personal managers) conducting on-site client meetings, supported by inside sales, online job applications, and word-of-mouth referrals. The operating proposition centers on "Management by Handcraft": managers with hands-on trade backgrounds, consistent workforce continuity for repeat deployments, and full employer-of-record responsibilities (payroll, social security, compliance).

The group is owned by Human Resources Holding GmbH and reports annual revenue of approximately €50 million. Subsidiaries include Perner Group Service GmbH (Austria operating), Perner Personal Group Deutschland GmbH (Germany), Perner Group Suisse AG (Switzerland), and MEDIRent.at (healthcare vertical). Recruitment is sourced through exclusive partner agencies in Poland and the Czech Republic, with plans referenced across additional EU labor markets. Pricing is unit-based on hourly rates ranging from approximately €12 to €17.50/hour gross depending on trade and qualification, with mark-on-top Diäten and overpayment for higher qualification.
