The questions everyone asks. Answers without detours.

More affordable does not mean lower quality: lower living costs in the countries of origin allow a different calculation, while pay stays fair and contractually fixed in line with the German minimum wage and collective agreements.

All inclusive as per quote: accommodation, vehicle and transport costs as well as overtime without surcharges, plus placement, ongoing support and administration. The agreed costs are fixed in writing before the assignment starts, and there are no hidden extras.

Semi-skilled workers and production helpers, including licensed forklift drivers, cost €22.50 net per hour. Skilled helpers for assembly and metalwork start at €26.90, certified welders at €31.00. These are indicative rates; the binding terms are set in the quote after the requirement analysis, depending on qualification, duration and model.

Monthly invoice, lump sum or per project, adapted to your processes.

Yes. Wages are contractually defined, and German labor law and collective standards apply to the employment relationship. Wage dumping is not compatible with our model.

Yes. Every assignment requires either EU citizenship or valid residence and work permits. For workers from third countries, the partner company in the country of origin is responsible for the work permits, and the client site verifies legal eligibility to work. Registration, social insurance and payroll tax are handled properly.

Through the respective employer: pension, health, long-term care and unemployment insurance are covered within the respective employment relationship.

Temporary staffing (German AÜG, Arbeitnehmerüberlassung), outsourcing to Eastern Europe, contracts for work, subcontracting and direct placement. In temporary staffing, a licensed partner company is the lender and the employer of the workers; Arbeitina acts as intermediary and coordinator, and your company is the client site. We recommend the right model based on the project situation and the contractual arrangement.

We design every model so that it is clearly separated from bogus self-employment and disguised labor leasing, and we turn down anything we cannot separate cleanly, even when that costs us business. The legal assessment in the individual case remains with your company.

CVs, references and personal interviews are part of every selection; where useful we arrange a trial period or on-site training.

EU candidates often within a few days, complete teams usually in 7 to 10 days. That window does not apply to third countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines, India or Central Asia: there, recruitment runs through our partner structures on the ground and takes several months until the assignment starts.

Within the EU, 2 to 6 weeks depending on the profile: helper positions faster, specialized skilled workers correspondingly longer. For workers from Asia, the official deadlines in the country of origin set the schedule, with a lead time of several months.

You do not outsource individual workers but an entire manufacturing or process step. We record the process, move it to a site within our Eastern European network and deliver the finished result: a defined work package, fixed unit costs, one contact person, an EU legal framework. The difference to a contract for work is that there our team works inside your company, whereas with outsourcing the work stays with us.

Depending on the model, 6 to 12 months and longer; many assignments end in permanent employment with the client.

As agreed, we provide a replacement or put things right, including during a running assignment. Regular support keeps turnover low.

Requirement analysis, candidate selection, contracts and documents, travel and accommodation, then the start with a dedicated contact person. One coordinated process with one contact person.

Yes. “Hand over the keys and disappear” is not our model: we stay in contact with the company and the workers, multilingual support included.

From 21 countries of origin. The focus is on Central and Eastern Europe with 12 countries: Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania; of those, Serbia and Ukraine lie outside the EU, where we work through service, contract-for-work and subcontracting models rather than temporary staffing. Added to that is Asia: Vietnam, the Philippines, India, Nepal, Pakistan as well as the Central Asian countries Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan.

Yes. We recruit welders, metal specialists and helpers through our partner structures directly in Vietnam and verify their qualifications on the ground. We act as intermediary and coordinator; the employer remains the partner company in the country of origin, which is also responsible for the work permits. Details are on our page about workers from Vietnam and Asia.

Temporary staffing is reserved for EU citizens. Workers from Vietnam, India, Nepal, Pakistan or Central Asia are therefore deployed exclusively through service, contract-for-work and subcontracting models, never as temporary staffing. The work permit and, where required, the A1 certificate are the responsibility of the partner company in the country of origin; the client site verifies legal eligibility to work before the first working day.

No. Visa consulting and immigration services are not part of what we offer. Recruitment outside the EU runs through partner structures on the ground: we act as intermediary and coordinator, the work permits are the responsibility of the partner company in the country of origin, and your company verifies legal eligibility to work.

Unlike with EU citizens, employment requires valid work permits, and obtaining them in the country of origin takes several months depending on the occupation. In return the process is predictable: after the requirement analysis we give you a realistic schedule.
