Many of our helpers are enrolled students at universities or colleges. They bring valuable experience from part-time jobs, internships, and student activities, and stand out for their commitment and sense of responsibility.
In addition, we also work with young people over 18, such as school graduates, trainees, and young professionals who show the same motivation, reliability, and dedication.
It’s simple: Post your job request on Job2Student, receive applications within a short time, and choose the right student. You agree on the details directly with the student, and payment is made after the job is completed.
Short-term jobs are one-time or very limited assignments – for example, moving assistance, a one-off cleaning, or babysitting for an evening. They usually last only a few hours or days and provide quick, flexible support.
Long-term jobs, on the other hand, are regular or ongoing tasks, such as weekly tutoring, continuous office support, or recurring childcare. These jobs run over several weeks or months and enable a reliable collaboration with the same student. The job posting remains online for 5 weeks after the start date, until the employer finds a suitable helper.
You pay the student helper(s) directly after the job is completed – usually in cash or by bank transfer, depending on what you agreed on in advance.
Creating an account and posting jobs is free. Only when a successful match is made do you pay a small placement fee to Job2Student, plus the agreed wage directly to the student.
Yes. You can describe exactly what you need (e.g., administrative help, logistics, moving assistance, event support,tutoring, gardening, etc.) and students will apply if they are interested.
Very quickly – in many cases, you’ll receive applications within hours. For urgent jobs, helpers are often available the same or next day.
If expectations are not met, you only need to pay for the hours worked. You can also leave a review for transparency and hire another student next time.
We verify all student registrations. Employers also benefit from ratings left by other users, so you can choose reliable and trustworthy helpers.

Yes. Many employers book students for regular jobs such as weekly cleaning, tutoring, or ongoing office support.
