Wackler Personal-Service GmbH

What Wackler Personal-Service GmbH does

Wackler Personal-Service GmbH, operating under the trade name Avento Personal following a July 1, 2026 rebrand, is a German staffing and recruitment company headquartered in Chemnitz. The firm operates two core service lines: Arbeitnehmerüberlassung (temporary staffing/labor leasing), where the company hires candidates on permanent contracts and assigns them to client firms for defined periods, and Personalvermittlung (direct placement), where candidates are recruited directly into permanent roles at client companies with fees charged to the employer and services free to job seekers. Operations are governed by the iGZ (Interessenverband Deutscher Zeitarbeitsunternehmen e.V.) collective bargaining agreement, which standardizes tariff wages, Christmas and vacation bonuses, overtime premiums, and branch supplements across all placements.

The company services a horizontal mix of ten industry verticals — logistics/warehouse, production/industry, healthcare, education/pedagogy, crafts/trades, engineering, office/administration/accounting, IT, and marketing/sales — distributing exposure across the German economy rather than concentrating in a single sector. Distribution is delivered through a multi-branch physical network (Niederlassungen) across Germany complemented by a self-serve online job portal on aventopersonal.de that supports location-based and category-based job discovery. The dedicated Firmenkunden division handles corporate client inquiries, staffing requests, and downloadable reference materials.

In March 2026 the firm launched Talent 360, a proprietary digital platform intended to bring transparency, speed, and structure to the staffing workflow, and integrated the zvoove Work App for mobile scheduling, time tracking, and employee communication. Revenue is generated through margin on wages paid by clients under temporary staffing and through placement fees under direct recruitment; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held under German GmbH law with no disclosed parent, investors, or subsidiaries, and the internal headcount of 46 is supplemented by deployed temporary workers who are not counted in this figure.
