2. More about the service
This service is basically a flexible solution for the employing
companies that need new employees, but do not wish to or are
unable to hire them permanently as internal staff.
Possible reasons:
• legal restrictions
• corporate policies
• optimizing certain activities through outsourcing of non specific
activities
• lack of resource for administrating employees
• seasonal activities, which require hiring and laying off large
groups of people within a short period
The leasing companies (staff-wise) hire employees on behalf of
their name and on their staff listing for the company who orders the
service.

4. Types of staff leasing
• Staff leasing
The consultant/intermediary company concludes labour contracts
with employees on behalf of its own name and redirects them to
work within the client company for a relatively long period (from 3
months to several years). At the base of this practice is the client’s
need to have a certain type of collaborators at hand given the
circumstances of cyclic and varying volume of work.

6. Types of staff leasing
Outstaffing
In this case the mediator does not engage in recruitment, but rather
form in their staff list staff who are already working for the client.
Essentially the staff is the same and continues to work for the same
company as before. This type of assignment is suitable with
companies who are in a good financial condition, but need to reduce
the headcount for different reasons – stock market listings, initial
public offering (IPO), specific corporate policy and other.

7. Types of staff leasing
Outsourcing
One company provides another with part of its functions /
services. The client company uses the provided, not just

be used for secondary functions such as maintenance,
cleaning, support activities, which are not fundamental
for the particular business and may vary in terms of
workload.

vacations and other as a form of service provided by the consultant
