What ergatis does

ergatis Personalmanagement GmbH is a Salzburg-based staffing and personnel management firm founded on July 3, 2006 by Silvia Lanthaler. The company serves two sides of the regional Salzburg labor market — companies seeking flexible workforce solutions across production, logistics, technical, IT, and commercial sectors, and job seekers seeking employment across entry-level to management positions. Its core service portfolio comprises five offerings: Zeitarbeit (temporary staffing), Personalvermittlung (direct permanent placement), Integrationsüberlassung (try-and-hire), Outplacement, and Payroll administration. The company also operates an online job board (Jobbörse) as a candidate-acquisition funnel.

The underlying technology stack is modest and largely composed of third-party SaaS tools. The job board and applicant management workflow run on zvoove Recruit, which integrates with the website job portal. Marketing and analytics rely on Matomo and Google Analytics for visitor behavior tracking, plus Google Ads remarketing campaigns. There is no proprietary technology, AI/ML capability, or mobile application disclosed; candidate screening, matching, and account management are performed manually by the in-house consulting team. Distribution is executed through direct field sales led by the Head of Sales and Key Account Manager, two physical office locations (Salzburg city headquarters and Oberndorf bei Salzburg), and multi-channel social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

Revenue mechanics follow the standard professional services model for staffing: temporary staffing generates margin on hourly billings of deployed workers employed by ergatis, direct placement earns fees when a candidate is hired permanently by the client, and payroll, outplacement, and try-and-hire services contribute fee-based revenue. Pricing for company clients is not publicly disclosed, and all job-seeker services are offered free of charge, with the cost basis carried by client companies. The company is privately held, founder-owned, has no external investors, and operates solely within Austria with no disclosed funding or expansion into other geographies.
