How direct placement differs from temp work.
| Temp work | Schichtfix | |
|---|---|---|
| Employer of the worker | Staffing agency | You |
| Costs | Ongoing hourly rate, typically approx. 1.8–2.2 × gross wage | One-off fixed fee per worker |
| Payment | Every month, as long as the worker stays | Once, only after the first working day |
| Taking over | Often with a transfer fee | The worker is yours from day one |
| If it doesn't fit | Depends on the contract | Replacement guarantee |
The amount depends on position, qualification and number of workers. You get a binding quote promptly after your request — no hidden costs. Volume pricing for several workers.
Temp work figures: typical market values, may vary. Details in our terms.
Three commitments, written exactly like this in our terms.

If employment ends within the agreed guarantee period, we find a replacement once at no extra cost.
We only introduce candidates whose ID, residence and work permit we have checked beforehand.

You. Schichtfix is a recruitment agency, not temp work: you sign the employment contract directly with the worker, who becomes your own employee. We find, check and introduce the candidates.
You pay a one-off fixed fee per placed worker. The amount depends on position and number; you get your quote promptly. The invoice comes only once the worker has started the first working day with you. Before that you pay nothing.
If the worker doesn't show up on the first day, you pay nothing. If they leave within the agreed guarantee period, we find a replacement once at no extra cost.
