What Personal-Partner does

Personal-Partner GmbH is a privately held German temporary staffing company (Zeitarbeit) headquartered in Düsseldorf, founded in 1999. The firm provides classical temporary worker leasing (Arbeitnehmerüberlassung), direct placement (Personalvermittlung), full business area outsourcing, OnSite Management, and Master Vendor services. Its primary client base consists of small and mid-sized enterprises in transport, warehousing, logistics, industrial production, food production, wholesale, and commercial administration across the Düsseldorf/NRW region, with nationwide capability for larger projects delivered through a partner network of approximately five staffing firms.

The firm operates with a small office team of approximately eight staff — two managing directors (Konstantinos Darampoucas and Stephan Bischoff), four employees, and two apprentices — supported by an in-house 24/7 phone dispatch service staffed by qualified Disponenten rather than external call centers. Workers are deployed at hourly rates ranging from €14.53 to €15.69 depending on role and experience, with industry supplements and above-tariff allowances applied. The firm holds an unlimited Arbeitnehmerüberlassung permit, DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 certification, GVP industry association membership, and IHK-recognized training company status, and claims zero serious workplace accidents since founding.

Revenue model is primarily transactional fee-based on billable hours under temporary staffing engagements, with additional commission income from direct placements and managed services revenue from outsourcing contracts. The firm does not disclose revenue figures, has no external funding, no parent company, and no disclosed M&A activity. Customer acquisition is driven through its own website, 24/7 phone service, an internal job board, and partnerships with the Agentur für Arbeit.

3. Outsourcing: Clients outsource entire business areas which Personal-Partner manages independently with their own personnel and resources.

Problem solved

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Arbeitnehmerüberlassung (Zeitarbeit / Personalleasing) Classical temporary-employment service: workers remain employed by Personal-Partner and are deployed to client companies for hourly, daily, short-term or long-term assignments. The client pays only for hours actually worked, without notice periods or replacement risks; Personal-Partner handles payroll, social-insurance contributions and taxes. Targeted at companies in logistics, production, manufacturing, food production, wholesale and commercial administration across Düsseldorf and the NRW region.
• Personalvermittlung (Direct Placement) Recruitment and direct-placement service in which Personal-Partner, after understanding the client's requirements, recruits and presents candidates who are then hired directly by the client on payment of an agreed commission. Targeted at companies seeking permanent hires across the same NRW-industry verticals served by the temporary-staffing business.
• Outsourcing Clients outsource an entire business area or function which Personal-Partner then manages independently with its own personnel and resources, effectively acting as a managed-services provider for that scope. Targeted at NRW companies looking to transfer responsibility for non-core or variable operations to an external provider.
• OnSite Management An account manager from Personal-Partner is stationed on-site at the client's premises to act as the central point of contact and coordinator for all flexible workers and any additional staffing providers used by the client. Targeted at companies with larger or more complex flexible-workforce pools that need a single on-site governance layer.
• Master Vendor Same scope as OnSite Management but coordinated and planned from Personal-Partner's own offices rather than from the client's site, providing a single accountable vendor for the client's entire flexible-workforce programme. Targeted at clients who want consolidated vendor governance without an on-site Personal-Partner presence.
• Gabelstaplerfahrerausbildung (Forklift Driver Training) Forklift driver training and certification program delivered by certified in-house trainer Stephan Büssenschütt, enabling workers and clients' staff to obtain a forklift license (Staplerschein). Targeted at temporary workers, job applicants and client employees in logistics and warehousing roles across the NRW region.
