Answers about working at Job Lounge
What does permanent employment "within the framework of temporary employment" mean?

What is the difference between job placement and temporary employment?
Is temporary employment also suitable for me if I am actually looking for permanent employment with a company?
In job placement or personnel placement, we suggest you to suitable companies and support you in getting a permanent position in a company. Job Lounge GmbH only acts as an intermediary, you conclude the employment contract with the company. Direct placement is uncomplicated and completely free of charge for you.
In temporary employment, Job Lounge GmbH is your employer, so you are employed by our client companies on our behalf. This is a temporary activity, so you change companies from time to time and collect numerous references. However, these assignments often lead to a permanent takeover into the respective client company. Therefore, temporary employment is also suitable for you if you are actually looking for permanent employment with an employer.
