We know how challenging it has become for companies to find IT specialists. Especially in the IT sector, there is a real shortage of skilled professionals. This widens the gap even further, creating a significant divide between open positions and successful placements. That’s where we can help — we can provide you with qualified IT professionals or entire remote teams through temporary employment.

What are the challenges of finding IT specialists for temporary employment?
IT specialists now often come from other countries, which makes proper integration within the company essential. You want to retain these employees long-term, so they need to feel secure and well-integrated within the organisation, otherwise, they may quickly move on.
Especially in the IT sector, employees expect the flexibility to work remotely and set their own hours when the role allows it. If a company wants to remain competitive, it must adapt to these expectations.
The topic of “equal pay” is also crucial in this field. Many temporary employment agencies attract clients with low hourly rates at which they place their IT specialists, but that’s not how we operate. We pay our employees fair, market-competitive wages, equivalent to those of permanent staff. These salaries can vary significantly, so it’s essential to understand the job requirements clearly. Only when the expertise is truly there can the right candidate be selected during the interview and the right questions be asked.
What is the advantage of hiring IT specialists from abroad?
Many companies are still hesitant to hire IT specialists from abroad or IT remote teams. They often fear communication barriers or worry that employees may not fit into the company culture. That’s not the case with our professionals — fluency in German or English is a prerequisite for working with us. In addition, most of our employees have already worked for various German companies and are familiar with German business practices.
As a company, you also benefit from the diverse expertise that our IT specialists have at their disposal. You also receive new ideas and fresh perspectives from which the success of your company can benefit. We recruit IT specialists from Eastern Europe, EU countries and Asia. Foreign IT specialists lead to increased diversity in the team. This can be a real boost for creativity and in many cases lead to innovative solutions.
Temporary IT specialists not only bring a different mindset and cultural background into your organisation, they’ve also worked in various environments, experienced different workflows, and know exactly how to solve problems efficiently.
