Leadership
Since 2022, we at JOBLINGE have had an innovative management structure: to ensure knowledge transfer, to better bundle and interlink expertise and to move even closer together as an initiative.
In addition to Kadim Tas as CEO, the management team consists of five department heads from our headquarters. Together with the nine Managing Directors, who head our nine independent JOBLINGE regions, they form our joint Germany-wide management team.

Kadim Tas has been CEO of JOBLINGE since 2022 and, in addition to supra-regional management, is also responsible for the continuous further development of the initiative and the concept. As a visionary, Kadim Tas firmly believes in social entrepreneurial solutions to social challenges.
