FAQ

Cooperation with people-s-place

  • people-s-place is a service provider with orientation in international recruitment. We work for our clients (= companies in Europe) and help them to find specialists (m/f/d) from various fields.

  • No, we only work with companies that are interested in direct placement. This means that successful mediated applicants (m/f/d) sign a contract directly with the company and not the people-s-place GmbH. Our service is completed and ends when the candidate (m/f/d) signs the contract or appears on the first working day.

  • You can apply either via our homepage www.people-s-place.com or via our advertisements on the career pages. Alternatively, you can send your documents via the e-mail address info@people-s-place.com, stating the job title or reference number. Speculative applications are also welcome at any time.


  • There are no costs for our applicants (m/f/d) during the entire cooperation with people-s-place. We are commissioned and remunerated by our corporate clients.

  • Usually, we first need a resume to match your qualifications with the requirements of the vacancy. In addition, it usually makes sense to write a cover letter to describe your motivation. In the further course of the application, we will inform you if we also need to present study certificates and references to our client.

  • It makes sense to send us your application documents in English (if nothing else is mentioned). If you send your application in another language, we will ask you to provide it in English. If necessary, we might accept work certificates and study certificates in the original language.

  • It is important that your experience and qualifications, relevant to the vacancy, are clearly stated in your records so that we can determine if you meet the requirements of the vacancy. For example, make sure your language proficiency is well documented when you apply for a position of international concern.

  • Each country has its own specifications as regards the application documents. You should enter the following information for the completeness of your CV:

    • Personal information (name, place of birth, date of birth, address)
    • Nationality (or work permit)
    • Relevant work experience
    • Educational path
    • Language skills with language level
    • If necessary (written) references

  • Of course, you can apply for several open vacancies if they are very similar in scope and if you are interested in multiple locations / companies. Please note that if you apply for several very different positions, it might have a negative impact on the assessment of your motivation.

  • Yes, in order to be considered for a vacancy, you must have an unrestricted work permit for that country. Citizens (m/f/d) of the European Union are entitled to work in all EU member states.

    As a rule, our clients cannot provide work visas. For this reason it is important that the application documents (e.g. CV) make it clear which nationality you have or whether you have a valid work permit for the country.

  • We always strive to quickly contact our applicants and speed up the application process. However, sometimes, for a variety of reasons, feedback may be delayed (for example, if the client's needs situation is not clear). In this case, we may initially retain your application and return to you as soon as possible.

    If you would like to know more about the status of the application, you can, of course, contact us directly at any given time!

  • If you are not considered, you will receive a message from us for the vacancy you have applied for. This can happen for a variety of reasons and may not necessarily be related to your aptitude. Please never take a job rejection - no matter at which company - personally! And do not hesitate to apply again if you discover more interesting places with us. If you wish to have your documents deleted immediately, please let us know.

  • Working with us will benefit you at several levels. On one hand, we will advise you regarding your application documents and provide you with information regarding the general conditions of the vacancy. On the other hand, through our close cooperation with local decision-makers, your documents end up directly with the responsible HR staff. We prepare you for the presentation to the employer, assist you in communicating with the company and provide you with information on the questions that interest you, such as salary, working hours and moving packages. Thus, we give you great advantages over other applicants.

  • In this case, please send us your unsolicited application together with the description of your desired activity (and details such as location, salary, starting date, field) to the e-mail addressinfo@people-s-place.com or register via this link: https://www.people-s-place.de/en/apply-form.

Application process

  • We will send your documents, of course only after consultation with you, to our contact persons in the respective HR departments who will decide on the further course of your application.

  • If, after the interview, you agree that your records should be forwarded, we will submit the required documents to the company. Typically, you then participate in the company's internal application process. This can take place during telephone / videocall-interviews or a personal job interview. Some of our clients also invite their applicants to a trial day or assessment center. Discuss with your people-s-place contact person how the different recruiting processes are with the respective company.
