Zenjob offers a 100% digital platform that quickly and reliably provides qualified temporary staff to businesses, enabling them to act flexibly when staffing needs change and achieve their business goals cost-effectively.
Zenjob is a digital staffing platform that connects students and part-time job seekers with temporary work opportunities. Founded in 2015 and based in Berlin, Zenjob operates through a mobile app that allows users to find and book shifts with partner companies quickly and easily.
Fritz Trott, Zenjob CEO, founded the company with two colleagues, inspired by his personal experiences and observations of the job market for students. As a student himself, Fritz experienced firsthand the difficulties of finding suitable part-time work that could fit around his studies. This challenge was shared by his co-founders, Cihan Aksakal and Frederik Fahning.
The three founders were driven by the idea of using digital technologies to improve the world of work in a lasting way. They wanted to create a solution that would give people more control over their work lives, allowing them to decide when and how often they wanted to work.
"We saw that people would want to be more in control, that flexibility would be valued more and more, it would be more important to offer variety and choice to workers, as well as a high level of efficiency to companies.”

Now, in less than 10 years since its founding, Zenjob has roughly 300 employees, with operations in over 39 German cities, with plans for European expansion. Every month, Zenjob matches more than 20,000 workers with part-time jobs from over 1,000 companies from various industries such as logistics, hospitality, and retail.
Zenjob’s platform is distinct in its commitment to streamlining the entire hiring process. Their comprehensive solution bridges the gap between employers and temporary workers by creating a solution that provides value for all parties involved.
Features like quick payment, minimizing hiring paperwork, and a mobile app appeal to busy job seekers and hiring managers alike.
By directly employing temporary workers and managing administrative tasks, Zenjob gives hiring teams the ability to focus on other important tasks related to onboarding and team building.
Other distinctive aspects of Zenjob include flexible job matching for students and part-time workers and partnerships with over 2,500 companies across industries like logistics, retail, and hospitality.
The Zenjob solution harnesses the power of technology to deliver a seamless experience for those who seek temporary, short-term, and part-time jobs. Zenjob’s marketplace is used by hundreds of companies to find talent for immediately available positions.
The Zenjob personnel platform enables companies to hire and onboard temporary staff on-demand.
Students use the job app to find one-day jobs that fit flexibly into their daily routine.
Companies use the Zenjob booking platform to specify on a day-to-day basis how much staff they need for specific tasks and locations. Vetted students on the platform see the relevant shifts in their Zenjob mobile app and apply for the ones that suit them best. Zenjob’s technology selects the most suitable applicant based on the job seeker’s experience, preferences, and location; the shift is then booked by Zenjob’s technology.
The Zenjob platform has features for job seekers and hiring teams. Hiring teams leverage Zenjob functionality to boost productivity and job seekers use Zenjob to secure the above roles.
Zenjob aims to revolutionize the temporary staffing industry through technology, automating processes, and improving efficiency for both job seekers and employers.
“Having a focus in the company starts with having a focus on the people you work with, hiring top talent, having talent on board that is fully dedicated to the vision and mission you have. And then also talent that is also keen on cracking a very hard problem with a high level of focus. And if you have those ingredients, I believe, then you can get very far, can be very successful, and can build a strong company.”
Zenjob continues to build toward a future of stability by considering automation across the organization — from engineering to marketing. As they use technology and internal teams to develop their platform to improve the lives of job seekers, Zenjob will undoubtedly adapt to the industry’s fluctuations to lead Europe’s flexible work sector.
The Zenjob founders believe you should be able to do a job that you like and that at the same time allows you to fund your life as a student.
Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Berlin, Zenjob offers students cool jobs in real-time through an app and provides companies with a platform that manages their staffing needs.
On-demand staffing, once a novelty, has now become a cornerstone for many businesses that need flexibility. Gig work technology addresses these requirements.
