For German companies
Hire visa-ready international IT talent
Every candidate in our pool has completed a Blue Card eligibility check under § 18g AufenthG. You know they can work legally in Germany before the first interview.
Free to join. Submitting a brief creates your account — no separate signup.
Why international IT hiring fails — and how we fix it
Visa status confirmed before you talk
Every candidate has completed a structured eligibility check against § 18g and § 20b AufenthG. You see the result before the first call.
No mass-blast
Your brief goes to a small number of matched candidates, not broadcast to 200 people. Fewer but better-suited conversations.
We filter on your requirements
We capture notice period, availability date, and target salary during onboarding. If a candidate does not fit your window, we do not send them.
Retention guarantee
If the placed candidate leaves or is let go within 3 months of starting, we refund half the placement fee.
What you see per candidate
Every matched profile includes the following fields, verified before forwarding.

Common questions
What does the free preview include?
You can browse anonymized candidate profiles — role, seniority, skills, visa status, and country — plus see aggregate pool stats. Contact details, CVs, and LinkedIn profiles are locked until you upgrade. It is designed to show you what is in the pool before you commit.
What is the difference between Placement and Growth?
Placement is the lane available now: we match and introduce candidates, and you pay a €2,990 flat fee only after a candidate you hire signs — zero cost if no hire is made, with half the fee refunded if the hire leaves within 3 months. Growth is a self-serve monthly search subscription (€149/mo) that opens once the candidate pool is deep enough to be worth searching directly. Founding employers keep a €99/mo rate on Growth for life.
How do you verify Blue Card eligibility?
Candidates complete a structured wizard that checks salary thresholds under § 18g AufenthG, degree type and recognition status (anabin H+/H-), and shortage occupation classification (ISCO-08 group 25). The result is attached to every profile.
What countries do your candidates come from?
India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Ghana, Morocco, Tunisia, Bangladesh, Ukraine, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and more. Most are applying from abroad; some are in Germany on a different visa and switching.
Do I need to handle the visa paperwork?
We can connect you with vetted immigration lawyers. The employer's obligation for the Blue Card is minimal: provide an employment contract at the correct salary. The candidate handles the consulate appointment.
How long from brief to first interview?
We aim to send initial profiles within 48 hours. Software engineering and data profiles are typically the fastest. SAP and Java roles may take longer depending on pool availability. We will tell you honestly if we do not have a match.
