‘Filling vacancies in-house can take a lot of time and, for that reason, doesn’t make sense when it comes to long-term absences due to sickness. That's where jobvalley steps in with the ideal solution. The main advantage is that other service providers only offer access to standard portfolios, whereas jobvalley provides graduates.’
– Marion Seeger, Dept. Head, Fredersdorf-Vogelsdorf municipality
