What Personalunion Siegen does

Personalunion Siegen (legally P.U.S. Industriemontagen GmbH) is a privately held German staffing and recruitment agency founded in 1984 and headquartered at Friedrichstraße 42, Siegen, North Rhine-Westphalia. The company operates exclusively in the Südwestfalen region and provides two core services: Arbeitnehmerüberlassung (temporary worker leasing) priced per billable hour at an all-in rate that includes wage and payroll costs, and Personalvermittlung (direct placement), which generates transaction fees on successful permanent placements. Service is free for job seekers; employer pricing is quote-based. Clients span five industry verticals — industrial production, warehousing & logistics, trades, office & administration, and services & retail — with no named anchor accounts disclosed. The company reports placing 200+ temporary workers and executing 75+ permanent placements per year, supported by a team of approximately 10 people across management, dispatch, sales, payroll, and administration.

The firm's commercial engine is supplemented by a proprietary technology product, PERSOVIEW (persoview.com), an internally developed mobile dispatch and workforce-planning application that the company markets for "efficient planning, flexible response, and complete overview" of workforce assignments. PERSOVIEW is positioned both as an internal operations tool and as a potential external product line. Distribution is regional and direct: WhatsApp Business (enabling ~2-minute candidate applications), the personalunion.de website and job board, social media (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube), email, and direct field outreach to employers. The company is bound to the iGZ-DGB collective agreement tariff and holds an indefinite Arbeitnehmerüberlassung permit from the Regional Labor Office Düsseldorf/NRW.

Ownership and leadership are concentrated: Christian Fischbach (Managing Director, Sales) and Louis Kiesewetter (Managing Director, Recruiting) run operations, while Bernd Kiesewetter serves as shareholder and consultant. There is no disclosed external institutional investment, no M&A activity, no funding rounds, and no stated headcount growth plan. Personalunion is a mature, founder/family-aligned regional services firm whose near-term strategic question is whether PERSOVIEW can evolve from an internal scheduling tool into a scalable product beyond Südwestfalen.
