Legal & Compliance

This opportunity concerns independent partner services in Germany (Arbeitsvermittlung). No AÜG employee‑leasing is offered. Private job placement is permit‑free; where activities require local business registration, partners act under their own Gewerbeanzeige.

We consider all genders (m/f/d) and welcome applicants regardless of age, disability, ethnic origin, religion/belief, sexual orientation or other characteristics protected by the AGG. Selection is based on merit.

If you need reasonable adjustments during the process, please tell us – we’ll accommodate wherever feasible.

No fees are charged to candidates. (Note: German law prohibits advance payments and caps any candidate‑paid placement fees; we do not charge candidates.)

Controllers: Keller Haldren and, where applicable, the authorized local partner (independent controller). Purpose/Lawful basis: assessing your partner application and related communications (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)/(f)). Retention: normally up to 6 months after decision (or earlier on request if no legal claim is pending). Your rights: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability; complaint to your supervisory authority. Details: www.kellerexecutivesearch.com/privacy/

Where data are accessed from outside the EEA/UK, we use GDPR Chapter V safeguards (e.g., adequacy or Standard Contractual Clauses).

Compensation is commission‑only via revenue share (no fixed salary). We provide methodology and example scenarios during conversations and will align with Germany’s implementation of the EU Pay Transparency Directive by 7 June 2026.

This is an independent partner/contractor engagement with the Keller Haldren global network—not an employment or franchise relationship; partners operate their own business.
