Applications on demand

The best skilled workers aren't actively searching, they're scrolling. We reach them with social ads, let them apply on their phone in 60 seconds and send you only candidates who match your criteria.

Book an intro callHow it works

From scrolling to applying

  1. Audience

    Profession, experience and radius, including people who aren't currently looking.

  2. Ads

    Real images and voices from your business instead of stock photos. Several variants run against each other.

  3. Short application

    A few questions on the phone, no CV needed. The barrier drops, the number of applications rises.

  4. Pre-qualification

    Questions about qualifications, driving licence or willingness to work shifts filter automatically.

An arithmetical illustration, not a promise. The German Federal Employment Agency classifies 157 occupations as shortage occupations (Engpassanalyse 2025).

What we observe legally

  • Job ads and audiences in line with the AGG (German General Equal Treatment Act): no targeting by age, gender or origin.
  • The platforms' rules for job ads, which restrict targeting.
  • Applicant data under the GDPR: clear notices, retention periods and handover to you only.

No substitute for legal advice.

Recruiting: quick answers

What does a recruiting campaign cost?
Working together starts from €1,500 net per month, plus the ad budget, which you pay directly to the platform. An ad budget of around €1,500 per month or more makes sense.
Do we need a careers page?
No. We build a mobile application funnel that works without your website. If you like, we integrate an existing careers page.
How quickly do applications come in?
The first applications usually arrive within the first few days after launch. How many of them fit depends on the role, the region and your criteria. We work this out together beforehand.
Who conducts the interviews with applicants?
You do. We deliver pre-qualified contacts with their answers from the funnel, on request directly into your applicant management system and with automatic follow-up by email and SMS.

Which positions should we fill?

In 20 minutes we work out what a campaign can do for your open positions.
