Business model, terms of employment and recruitment process

Employment Relationship and Legal Framework (Temporary Employment)

All deployments within the framework of daily jobs, multi-week deployments and working student positions take place via temporary employment (AÜG). Zenjob acts as the legal employer of the students, concludes short-term employment contracts per deployment and takes over full personnel administration including payroll, social security registration and tax processing. All students are fully covered by statutory accident insurance and liability insurance through Zenjob during their deployments.

B2B Platform Functionality (All-in-One Platform)

Zenjob minimises administrative overhead for companies by automating temporary staff shift planning, time tracking and invoicing. Companies enter their personnel requirements via self-service. The system converts this requirement into jobs and manages the placement from its own applicant pool.

Fact-Based Dynamics

Shift availability for students is managed in real-time through the combination of local B2B market demand and active pool density, ensuring a demand-driven allocation.

Level of Automation by Product Type:

  • Short- and mid-term temp staffing: 100% automated workflow from the job advertisement via the algorithmic AI matching engine to the booking confirmation in the app. Partially supported by AI screening calls. Contracts, time tracking and invoicing are processed entirely digitally.
  • Long-term working students: Hybrid workflow. Sourcing is handled digitally via the existing pool of students. Subsequently, Zenjob conducts a pre-selection call to evaluate technical suitability for the specific company. Only pre-qualified candidates are presented to the corporate client for the final interview.

System Integrations (API)

Seamless integration of the booking platform into companies’ existing IT environments, such as HR software, shift management or Vendor Management Systems (VMS). The integration is carried out directly via API endpoints or indirectly via existing partnerships with master or neutral vendor platforms.
