Company profile
researched Aug 2026Medwing (Medwing GmbH) operates a digital recruitment marketplace for the healthcare workforce, connecting hospitals, clinics and other medical employers with healthcare professionals. Its core focus is nurses and elderly caregivers, but the platform also serves pharmacists, midwives, doctors and comparable professions. The company was founded in Berlin in 2017 and is headquartered at Rosenthaler Strasse 63-64, Berlin.
The platform covers an end-to-end digital workflow that spans job search, contracts, electronic signatures and timesheets. As of March 2023 it was available in Germany and the United Kingdom, where the company claimed roughly 5,500 registered medical employers and 500,000 healthcare professionals. Founder and CEO Johannes Roggendorf characterized the existing permanent recruiting and temporary staffing market in healthcare as manual and analogue, positioning a digital marketplace as a way to reduce costs for healthcare systems while improving service levels for workers and hospitals.
Founding story
