GFP Gesellschaft für Personalleasing mbH

What GFP Gesellschaft für Personalleasing mbH does

GFP Gesellschaft für Personalleasing mbH is a privately held German staffing and personnel-leasing company founded in 1980 by Manfred Dürmeier and headquartered in Nürnberg, Bavaria. The firm operates under the legal form of a GmbH (HRB 4371, Amtsgericht Nürnberg) and is currently led by Managing Director Dan Bratu. Its business is the recruitment, employment, and leasing of temporary workers to client companies under the German Arbeitnehmerüberlassungsgesetz (AÜG), for which it holds the required permit from the Bundesagentur für Arbeit. Compensation is governed by the iGZ-DGB collective bargaining agreement, with above-tariff pay ('übertarifliche Bezahlung nach IGZ') offered in select cases.

The company's commercial offering is organized as a six-model service portfolio: Arbeitnehmerüberlassung (temporary staffing), Personalvermittlung (direct permanent placement), Try-and-Hire (3–6 month trial-to-perm), On-Site Management (GFP staff embedded at client sites), Master Vendor (single-point management of the entire leased workforce), and Outsourcing (delegation of entire functions or departments). These services are delivered across five industry verticals — Gastronomy/Hospitality, Logistics, Office/Administration, Medical Care, and Industry/Skilled Trades — to clients primarily in the Nuremberg metropolitan area and broader Franconia (Erlangen, Fürth, Schwabach, Zirndorf, Regensburg), with postings also visible in Dresden.

The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: clients and job seekers engage via the company website (gfp-zeitarbeit.de), Facebook, downloadable documents, and direct inquiry forms. Revenue is generated through hourly-bill markup on leased workers, contingency or per-placement fees for direct recruitment, and managed-service fees for master-vendor and outsourcing engagements. The firm has no proprietary technology platform, no app, no API, no disclosed funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and operates with a lean internal team of approximately five employees, indicating that most workers are deployed at client sites rather than employed in-house functions.

Revenue model

1. Arbeitnehmerüberlassung (Temporary Staffing): GFP places temporary workers (Leiharbeiter) at client companies under the German AÜG (Arbeitnehmerüberlassungsgesetz). Workers are employed by GFP and leased to client companies, generating revenue through markup on hourly labor rates. Pay is regulated under the iGZ-DGB collective bargaining agreement.
2. Personalvermittlung (Direct Placement/Recruitment): GFP searches for and places candidates directly into permanent positions at client companies, with the goal of securing a Festanstellung (permanent employment) for the candidate. This is a contingency-based or fee-per-placement model.
3. Try and Hire: GFP introduces temporary workers to client companies during a recommended trial period of 3–6 months. During this phase the client evaluates the worker; if the worker is taken on permanently, this transitions into a permanent placement engagement.
4. On-Site Management: GFP personnel are managed on-site at client locations; GFP handles all administrative and operational tasks related to the leased workforce.
5. Master Vendor: GFP acts as the primary supplier managing the entire leased workforce of a client company, coordinating with other suppliers through a single point of contact.
6. Outsourcing: GFP takes over entire functions or departments of client companies, allowing them to focus on core business activities.
