So assuming a 50% lower salary as advertised, that means these guys only placed 50xGerman salary Developer in 2024. So assuming a high commission of 20% of an annual salary, those guys made a total money of 10 Developer salaries in 2024. More realistically we are looking at something between 5-10 salaries. According to their linkedin they have 51-200 employees, which probably includes the 100 Devs they rented out. So their Germany business is inefficient and underdeveloped.

They also advertise that they do some programming themselves and are active on other markets. Still it seems dubious that they know much about the German market and could offer people that are pulling their weight.
