NewsData.io · United States · Aug 7, 2026

German staffing firm Amadeus FiRe (ETR:AAD) has lowered its full-year 2026 guidance following a weaker-than-expected second quarter in its Personnel Services segment. The company cited deteriorating sentiment among German corporate clients and a sharp drop in permanent placement activity as key headwinds. CEO Robert von Wülfing acknowledged the worsening economic backdrop that emerged in Q2 after a positive start to the year. The results signal continued softness in the European permanent placement market, a trend staffing agencies with European exposure should monitor closely.
