Trenkwalder Celebrates 40 Years: From Personnel Service Provider to AI-Driven HR and Business Partner

Munich, November 2025 – Trenkwalder Personaldienste GmbH, part of the internationally active Trenkwalder Group, is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2025. Founded in 1985 in Steyr, Upper Austria, the company is now one of Europe’s leading HR and staffing service providers – with a presence in 15 countries and a clear vision: combining human expertise with artificial intelligence to holistically support companies in their HR strategy.

From personnel placement to intelligent end-to-end HR solutions

What began as a classic staffing agency has evolved over four decades into a versatile, technology-driven partner for the future of work. In addition to temporary staffing and personnel placement, Trenkwalder today focuses on Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), data-driven decision models and AI-powered technologies that make processes more efficient, faster, and more transparent.

“40 years of Trenkwalder is a milestone we look back on with pride – and at the same time an incentive to actively shape the transformation of the working world. With our new AI solutions for recruiting, skill matching and workforce management, we create added value for customers and candidates alike.”
— Mark Pollok, CEO, Trenkwalder Group

Modern HR solutions for a dynamic world of work

Trenkwalder sees itself not only as an intermediary between companies and candidates, but as a strategic partner for digital HR management and smart business processes. In times of skilled-labor shortages, digital transformation, and increasing efficiency requirements, the company offers tailored, technology-driven solutions across the entire HR value chain.

These include, among others:

• Business Process Outsourcing (BPO): Taking over defined HR and business processes – from recruiting to payroll to administrative support – to relieve internal resources.

• AI-powered HR technologies: Using artificial intelligence and predictive analytics for process automation, pre-selection of applicants, skill detection, and workforce planning.

• Digital platform solutions: Development of an integrated HR platform that connects recruiting, talent management, and workforce analytics in real time.

• Industry-specific solutions: Customized strategies for industrial, logistics, office & finance, and technical fields – supported by data-driven market and trend analyses.

“Our transformation reflects how profoundly the world of work has changed. We are investing specifically in AI, automation, and data intelligence to create long-term value for our customers while opening up new opportunities for people.”
— Mark Pollok, CEO, Trenkwalder Group

The company has been active in Germany since the 1990s and today supports customers ranging from medium-sized businesses to international corporations.

The goal remains unchanged: connecting people with companies – efficiently, sustainably, and with a forward-looking approach.
