Time to Care

What Time to Care does

TIME TO CARE GmbH is a Berlin-based, privately held staffing services company founded in 2003 by Thomas Gläser, specializing exclusively in the German healthcare sector. The company provides three core services: temporary staffing (Zeitarbeit/Arbeitnehmerüberlassung) under an unlimited AÜG permit, permanent placement (Personalvermittlung) on commission, and outsourced administrative functions, plus an outplacement offering. Its candidate base comprises healthcare professionals with completed vocational training (Berufsausbildung), sourced through a two-stage selection process that includes document review, interview/aptitude testing, and medical examination by an in-house occupational physician.

The company's go-to-market combines direct enterprise engagement — via dedicated Personaldisponenten (staffing coordinators) managing over 500 healthcare client relationships across Berlin hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, therapy practices, and pharmaceutical/medtech firms — with a self-service online Bewerber-Portal built on HR4YOU's eSearcher applicant management system for inbound candidate acquisition. Revenue is generated primarily through usage-based hourly billing of placed temporary workers, supplemented by transaction-fee commissions on permanent placements (scaled to gross annual salary) and graduated temp-to-perm conversion fees (2 months salary if conversion occurs within 3 months, declining to 0.5 months after 9 months). The company claims worldwide recruitment reach while concentrating client delivery in Berlin, and operates without disclosed external capital under the continued control of its founder, who separately manages affiliated Bürolina Personalservice GmbH.
