Assumptions
- Qualified applications in this case: 25
- Your placement rate: 10%
- Temp staffing — gross margin per temp worker per year: € 10,000
- Ad spend in this case: € 461
Source: Temp staffing rates work with a conversion factor of 1.9 to 2.6 on gross hourly wage (2026). The agency's margin sits around 20-25% in technical work and 35-40% for general production work. At a gross hourly wage of EUR 16 and factor 2.1, the client pays EUR 33.60 per hour; the agency's gross margin typically comes to EUR 4 to EUR 7 per hour worked, or EUR 7,000 to EUR 12,000 per year per temp worker.
This is a model, not a realised result. Adjust the assumptions to your own margins and placement rate.
