What per4med does

per4med GmbH is a German staffing and personnel placement company specialized in the medical and nursing sector, founded on June 25, 2009 in Berlin by Rudi Tili (Dipl.-Ing.) and operating for approximately 17 years. The company recruits qualified nursing staff and medical professionals — including intensive care and anesthesia specialists — and places them at healthcare facilities such as hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes on a temporary employment (Arbeitnehmerüberlassung) basis. Its geographic footprint covers five German federal states (Berlin, Brandenburg, Hamburg, Niedersachsen, and Hessen), supported by three office locations in Berlin-Spandau (headquarters), Hamburg, and Göttingen.

The core product is the temporary staffing service itself, monetized through the spread between employee wages (paid above-tariff) and client billing rates. The technology stack is intentionally lean: the proprietary "per4med App" (launched 2021, available on iOS and Android) digitizes vacation requests and wish-based duty scheduling (Wunschdienstplan), replacing paper-based processes. A wholly-owned subsidiary, per4med mini GmbH, operates from the same Berlin building to handle minijob placements as a separate legal vehicle. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified by TÜV Rheinland since 2014, is a BAP industry association member since 2012, and complements its staffing revenue with a continuing-education program through the Wannsee Academy (up to two courses per year funded).

The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: per4med recruits talent through its own job portal, employee referrals (400 EUR bonus), social media channels, and healthcare job fairs; it acquires healthcare-facility clients through direct field sales and account management across its regional offices. Revenue mechanics are transaction-fee based with no publicly disclosed pricing, and the company maintains no disclosed external investors, parent company, or M&A history — it is a bootstrapped, founder-controlled entity with 51–100 employees.
