Retraining to become a personnel services clerk (IHK)

A job with a future

The relatively young profession of personnel services clerk (PDLK) is now enjoying great acceptance. Personnel services clerks are primarily employed in temporary employment agencies/employee leasing, where they procure staff for their clients. In addition, of course, they coordinate the deployment of personnel and try to acquire new orders and look after customers well. In addition, there are also career opportunities for personnel services clerks in the human resources departments of larger companies.

The ISE language and vocational training center is offering retraining in this training occupation for the first time in autumn 2013.

Participants complete the nationally regulated 3-year training after just 2 years as part of this retraining. The examination is carried out by the Regensburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK).

Every large company and almost every medium-sized company today works with temporary employment agencies. If you analyze the job offers in the daily newspaper, you can see that personnel are often in demand from temporary employment agencies.

Tasks in detail:

Personnel services clerks scan the job and applicant market for potential workers for their customers. They conduct interviews and select suitable personnel tailored to the requirements profile of their clients. You need knowledge of labor law to draft the necessary employment contracts. PDLK schedule personnel deployment, plan further training for their employees and are often the contact persons for payroll issues. In addition, personnel services clerks spend their time acquiring new orders.

Personnel service clerks are well informed about industry-specific health protection regulations, keep personnel files and document them.

In addition, PDLK are also responsible for management and controlling.
