Permanent employment
We provide advice, communicate, find people jobs, open doors and create opportunities, cutting the time it takes for you to get an interview.

To demonstrate your potential working for some exciting companies, use personnel leasing as a springboard for your career. With standard wages, industry-specific supplements, statutory protection against dismissal and social security benefits. We place you in suitable companies that need extra staff, where you will have the opportunity to show what you can do and may even be taken on, ideally.

Got a question? We have the answer.
I am not interested in doing temp work. Can I still apply?
Absolutely! We help more than 80% of our applicants to find permanent employment with renowned companies from the local area. Being leased to a company even for a short period of time has its benefits, as this is usually treated as a probationary period. In the majority of cases, leased employees are offered a permanent position by the companies while they are still on lease to them, or soon afterwards.
Where do you recruit people?
Schmieder GmbH is THE recruitment agency from the Lake Constance/Upper Swabia and Allgäu region. Our primary focus is on the recruitment of commercial and engineering professionals. From Ulm to Lake Constance and from Überlingen to Lindau, we find the right jobs for the right people.
Which companies do you collaborate with?
Our motto is “From the region. For the region”, which is why we have been collaborating with companies from the Lake Constance/Upper Swabia and Allgäu region for over three decades. Our regular customers now include more than 300 leading companies from the local area.
Will you automatically consider my application for other vacancies?
We will automatically compare your application with several vacancies to ensure we find the perfect placement for you. Thanks to our many years of experience, our trustworthy partnerships with our customers and our modern applicant management system, we are able to place you with companies that are the perfect match for you. Before submitting your documents to one of our partners, we will discuss this with you once more to come to an agreement on how to proceed.
How should my cover letter be structured?
When it comes to the structure of your cover letter, you should bear in mind that our application managers deal with a large number of applications on a daily basis, so keep it short and to the point.
Ideally, your cover letter should be structured in such a way that it provides us with a brief overview of your current situation. It should be no longer than one DIN A4 page and tell us what motivated you to look for another job or career, the area in which you would like to work, your earliest possible start date, etc. There is also no need for you to make reference to a specific job vacancy, as we may also use your application for other positions – after discussing this with you first of course.What are the application documents that you need?
Your application documents are the ticket to your dream job. For this reason, they need to be complete and free of any mistakes.
In addition to your cover letter and CV, an application that will make the right impression should also include a cover page as well as any relevant references and certificates. Although a photo is not compulsory, it makes a nice finishing touch to your application.
Thanks to our cutting-edge application management system, you can upload your application documents using the “APPLY NOW” button at the bottom of the job advertisement. Please ensure that you use PDF format.Will you let me know before my application is forwarded on to companies?
We will, of course, have a discussion with you about the job vacancies and companies, and will only ever forward your application documents on to them with your consent. In certain cases, we may not be able to tell you the name of the companies in advance for reasons of discretion. However, we will still discuss the vacancy with you and may be able to provide you with some basic information about the company.
How long does it take for an applicant to find a job through a recruitment agency?
Over the years, we have made ongoing improvements to our internal processes where our response time is concerned. However, it is impossible to make a sweeping statement in this regard. Sometimes it takes just a few days, while in other cases it can take several weeks. To be specific, the exact period of time will depend on the job profile, the role and the requirements of the companies with which we collaborate.
Can an applicant reject a potential company?
As the applicant, the decision to take on a new challenge is, of course, entirely up to you. Since long-lasting relationships are of paramount importance to us, you are of course welcome to reject potential companies if they do not fully meet the expectations you have of your future employer. It is also incredibly important to us that we place you with companies that are the perfect match for you.
What are the benefits of a recruitment agency for applicants?
As an applicant, you only need to submit one application to us and then make the most of your endless opportunities, since we work with over 300 renowned companies in the local area. Your dedicated contact person will provide you with personalised advice and introduce you to the right company quickly and discreetly. We have access to positions that are not advertised publicly, as our many years of experience have put us in direct contact with the decision-makers. What’s more, our advice and support is completely free of charge for you, without any obligations.
What is the difference between private recruitment and temporary employment?
In the case of private recruitment, you will have a permanent employment contract directly with one of our customers. You will negotiate all of the terms and conditions of your contract with your future employer and receive your employment contract from them too. In the case of personnel leasing, you will be employed by Schmieder GmbH and leased to our customers as a member of staff. These jobs are usually limited to a certain period of time and are often used by employers as an initial probationary period, following which you may be offered a permanent job.
What is personnel leasing?
In the case of personnel leasing, you will be employed by us, Schmieder GmbH. During your placement with a company, you will be assigned a contact person from Schmieder GmbH who will provide you with support throughout. Temporary assignments give you the opportunity to show renowned companies from the local area what you can do, and if all goes well, you may subsequently be offered a job by our customer directly. The Equal Pay law means that your salary will be adjusted to that of an employee in a comparable position or to the standard industry rate.
Are applicants charged a fee by a recruitment agency?
All of our services and advice are free of charge for you as an applicant, without any obligations. A fee only has to be paid by the company if we are successful.
How do I submit an application to a recruitment agency?
The “APPLY NOW” button is the fastest and easiest way to submit your application to us. This can be found at the bottom of each job advertisement, or you can click on “SUBMIT A SPECULATIVE APPLICATION” at the bottom of all of our job vacancies. A few clicks is all it takes to upload your application directly to our cutting-edge applicant management system. Your documents should ideally be in PDF format. In addition to a CV, your application should include a covering letter detailing your motivation and the area in which you would like to work, as well as any relevant references and certificates. A photo makes a nice finishing touch to your application. Treat your application like a business card, because it is the first impression we will get of you.
