Why Contractors Keep Coming Back to Rize: How We Support Freelancers Across Europe
Trusted by Contractors Who Value More Than Just a Role
In today’s fragmented recruitment landscape, freelance professionals have options - but not all recruitment agencies are built the same. At Rize, we work with freelancers across Germany, Switzerland, and the UK who don’t just choose us once - they return, contract after contract.
Why? Because we do more than fill roles. We provide a compliant, well-informed, and human-first experience that supports freelance careers, not just assignments.
The Problem: Many Agencies Treat Freelancers as Disposable
Far too often, freelance consultants are treated as transactional resources:
- Contracts arrive last-minute, with vague terms
- No clarity on local tax or permit obligations
- Poor onboarding and no aftercare once placed
- No insight into the client’s roadmap or long-term plans
In regulated markets like Germany (AÜG) or Switzerland (SECO), this isn’t just frustrating - it’s risky.
