Pathway
A map from temporary assignment to open-ended role
This page outlines the stages we use in employment consulting for temporary-to-permanent employment transition support in Germany. It is a guide, not a guarantee of conversion.
-
Orient
Gather the temporary contract, assignment start date, agency contact, and host supervisor. Note any verbal promises about permanence.
-
Clarify the temporary footing
Understand notice, end dates, and clauses that affect a later hire. A contract clarity session sits here when the paperwork is dense.
-
Read the timing
Mark equal-treatment milestones, host planning cycles, and your own notice constraints. Pathway review focuses on this map.
-
Open the conversation
Speak with the person who can sponsor a permanent seat. Conversation coaching prepares the ask and the follow-up.
-
Apply when a seat opens
Treat the internal permanent vacancy with the same care as an external hire. Application packaging supports that step.
-
Review the permanent draft
Compare the Festanstellung offer to the temporary reality you already know — hours, site, pay structure, and probation.
Not every stage needs a paid consultation. Many clients book only the pathway review; others add coaching when a meeting is already on the calendar.
