Hire German speakers

native German speakers, at a lower cost.

Germany and Austria together are one of Europe’s biggest markets, and customers there expect to be spoken to in German. Plenty of native German speakers have moved to Malta, Cyprus, Spain or Portugal and want to keep working for companies back home.

What it costs

same language, a much smaller bill.

Good questions

hiring German speakers.

Can I hire a German speaker abroad on a B2B contract?

Yes, many of our placements work that way. Germany has strict rules on bogus self-employment (Scheinselbstständigkeit), so if the role looks like employment, for example fixed hours, integration in your team and a single client, take legal advice or use an Employer of Record, which we can set up.

Where do your German-speaking candidates live?

Often in Malta, Cyprus, Spain, Portugal or Greece, and sometimes further away. Working hours are agreed with you for each job.

How quickly can I meet German-speaking candidates?

Your first screened profiles usually arrive within a week.
