About Medpool

Medpool HR Solutions GmbH, an entity operating in the German healthcare sector, was established in Düsseldorf in May 2019 by Timo Mühlmann and Denny Hölscher. The company was founded to address the persistent challenges within the nursing market, specifically the over-reliance on traditional temporary employment agencies which can be inflexible and costly for healthcare institutions. One of the managing directors, Denny Hölscher, brings extensive and relevant experience from the intersection of software and personnel services. He previously served as a managing director for prosoft, a developer of software for temporary employment agencies, and later took responsibility for the personnel services software division at zvoove, a major software provider in the industry. This background in creating digital solutions for staffing agencies provides a strong foundation for Medpool's operational model.

The company functions as a specialized personnel service provider for hospitals and care facilities, primarily in the regions of Düsseldorf, Cologne, and Essen. Medpool's core business is to supply qualified nursing staff to cover short- and medium-term personnel shortages, thereby offering its clients a way to manage staffing gaps with greater flexibility. Revenue is generated through fees for the placement of its employees, who are offered various employment models, including full-time, part-time, and flexible "minijobs". This approach aims to attract a wider pool of nursing professionals by offering work arrangements that fit different lifestyles.

A key feature of Medpool's service is its "Partnerprogramm" (Partner Program). This model allows a healthcare facility to lease a Medpool employee for a six-month introductory period. During this time, the employee is reserved exclusively for that client, allowing the institution to assess the fit within their team without the immediate pressure of recruitment costs. A significant differentiator is that, following this six-month period, the client can hire the employee into a permanent position without incurring any additional transfer or recruitment fees. This temp-to-perm model is designed to provide a risk-free pathway for facilities to build their permanent staff while ensuring the new hires are a good match, both professionally and culturally.
