What H&b Notfallsanitater-borse Gmbh does

H&B Notfallsanitäter-Börse GmbH (NFSB) is a privately held German GmbH founded in 2019 by Hansjürgen Butz and Alexander Heimerl and headquartered in Westheim, Bavaria. The company operates a nationwide online job exchange and temporary staffing service that places qualified emergency medical personnel — Notfallsanitäter and Rettungssanitäter — at German rescue services, ambulance flight operators, and event organizers. Its core activities are conducted under the German Temporary Employment Act (Arbeitnehmerüberlassung), for which it holds an indefinite permit from the Bundesagentur für Arbeit in Nuremberg dated September 18, 2019. The company's protected trademark NFSB® and its claim of being "das Original" in the segment, combined with founding membership in QuaPNo e.V. and an official partnership with DBRD e.V., position it as a standards-oriented, compliant operator in an otherwise fragmented market for emergency personnel leasing.

The NFSB product surface centers on two connected platforms: the public-facing NFSB Online-Schichtbörse, where emergency personnel register, browse shifts, and bid across Germany, and the customer/employee portal at my.nfsb.de, through which rescue services post open shifts and manage framework contracts with second-by-second visibility of deployments. Supporting modules include an internal duty-planning tool (Dienstplansoftware), a framework-contract onboarding flow, and — via a partnership with SMEDEX — a certified online learning management system used for personnel continuing education. Distribution runs on a hybrid sales-led and self-serve motion: rescue services initiate contact by phone or email to sign a framework contract, then either post shifts self-serve in the portal or rely on NFSB's internal disposition team to plan staffing.

NFSB monetizes through hourly billing of deployed personnel, with weekend, holiday, and night-shift surcharges, free accommodation for distant deployments, and tax-free kilometergeld passed through to staff. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and individual quotes are negotiated, but the company emphasizes a usage-based, pay-as-you-go structure where clients only pay when a shift is actually worked and avoid recruiting, onboarding, sick-pay, holiday-pay, and training overhead versus full-time hires. The company is founder-owned and bootstrapped with no external funding, 1-10 employees on the back-office/administrative side, and additional non-cash value to personnel in the form of above-tariff pay, an optional company car for full-time staff, and a tuition-subsidized part-time degree pathway in Rettungswissenschaften at Hochschule Döpfer.

Revenue model

1. Personnel Placement / Temporary Staffing (Arbeitnehmerüberlassung): NFSB places emergency medical personnel (Notfallsanitäter, Rettungssanitäter) at rescue services and event organizers via the German employee leasing law (AÜG). Revenue is generated through hourly billing at agreed-upon rates, with surcharges for Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays, and night work. Clients are charged only when a shift is actually worked.
2. Kilometergeld / Travel Compensation: Staff receive kilometergeld (tax-free mileage allowance) for travel to deployment locations. This represents a cost pass-through benefiting both the company (operational efficiency) and staff (additional compensation).

• PageGroup (Michael Page Deutschland): Global recruitment firm with a healthcare and life-sciences practice in Germany. Comparable to NFSB through its focus on placing qualified medical and clinical professionals, though more weighted toward permanent placement.
• Trenkwalder Personaldienste: European staffing company with German operations and healthcare/medical staffing offerings. Comparable to NFSB via shared AÜG-based staffing model and healthcare vertical, though broader geographically and across industries.
• Piening GmbH: German family-owned staffing company with explicit healthcare and nursing focus. Comparable to NFSB as a domestic AÜG operator with verticalized healthcare staffing, though broader in customer mix.

Others
