Post a working-student role
Working students almost always look for work that fits around lectures. Advertised as remote, a working-student role is no longer tied to one university town and reaches students across the country.
Why remote helps most here
On-site working-student roles compete with every other employer in the same university town, and the number of students there is fixed. Advertised remotely, the same role competes for students nationwide, including places with no suitable employers nearby.
Students also gain the trip between lecture hall and desk. That trip is precisely why many working-student roles fail to fit a timetable.
Weekly hours and the semester rhythm
During lecture periods the German working-student status applies up to 20 hours a week. During semester breaks more is possible without losing the status. An ad that names this rhythm reads as credible to students immediately.
Also say how you handle exam periods. Stating up front that two weeks per semester are lighter gets you applications from people who stay, instead of resignations in the middle of exams.
