Sound familiar?
Full order books. Empty positions.
Skilled workers are short everywhere — and in the end, your business carries the load.
Ads nobody answers
You paid for the job ad — and not a single suitable application came in.
The team carries it
Overtime, weekend shifts, tired faces. Until the next person quits.
hirinq takes over the search. You take care of customers and your team.
Built for these trades
Made for businesses that get it done.
Trades, logistics, production and care.
How it works
A few minutes a day.
A few minutes a day.
From your phone.
No software, no training. You write or talk to hirinq like a colleague — on WhatsApp. Open the full platform only when you want the overview.
A 15-minute brief
hirinq asks what a good colleague would ask: Which licences are a must? Which shift? How far is too far?
Check suggestions
Only a few skilled workers at a time, best chance first. A thumb, one line of feedback — no spreadsheets, no job boards.
Adjust with a reply
Just say it. The next suggestions adapt — no new brief, no restart. Every setting is in the platform too.
Meet them on WhatsApp
Suitable workers are contacted where they actually are. hirinq introduces your business, answers first questions and books times — in your tone, approved by you.
~2hrs / week / role
That's the whole job — brief, review, adjust, from your phone. The search, outreach and follow-ups run in the background.
The talents
People who actually want to switch.
Every worker you meet has agreed to it first. No cold calls, no mass emails — just people who are open to a new employer, live nearby and fit your role.
Until then you see an anonymous profile. Name and contact details only after they say yes.
Suggestions
A short list, not a haystack.
Only the workers most likely to join — each with a short summary that fits on a phone screen: skills, licences, experience, availability, pay. Read, decide — and dig deeper in the platform only when you want to.

Fair to talents. Safe for your business.

Talents opt in
You only see name and contact details once the worker wants to meet you. Every consent is logged with a timestamp.
GDPR & EU servers
Data is stored in Frankfurt by default. Nothing leaves the EU without your explicit consent.
Fair under AGG
Origin, gender, religion, disability, age and sexual identity play no role in matching — technically excluded.
EU AI Act & works council
The AI suggests, people decide. Documented and traceable, with paperwork for your works council.

FAQ
Questions & answers
Legal & compliance
Does hiring fall under the EU AI Act?
Yes. Talent screening for employment is Annex III high-risk. hirinq is built to Art. 9–15 out of the box — risk management, data governance, human oversight, technical documentation, record-keeping.
Where does talent data live?
By default, Frankfurt. Customers in regulated sectors can pin residency to Amsterdam or a dedicated instance. No data leaves the EU without your express written consent.
How does this interact with the Betriebsrat?
BetrVG §87 Abs. 1 Nr. 6 applies. hirinq ships a works-council dossier, co-determination scope documentation, and configurable limits that the Betriebsrat can sign off on before the first talent is scored.
Operations
Do I need a computer?
No. Briefing, suggestions, feedback and talent conversations all run on your phone via WhatsApp. The full web platform — overview, exports, a link to your HR software — is included and there whenever you want it.
Do I need an HR department?
No. hirinq is made for businesses without one. We take over the tedious search — meeting people, deciding and signing stay in your hands.
Commercial
When exactly do I pay?
Only when three things are true: the talent agreed to be introduced to you, you sign a contract within 12 months of that introduction, and they're still with you 90 days after their start date. If they leave earlier or never start, there's no fee — we just ask for brief proof, such as the notice of termination. The fee is 10% of the fixed annual gross salary — for hourly pay, hourly rate × weekly hours × 52.
What do I see before a talent agrees?
An anonymous profile: qualifications, experience, skills, region, availability, salary range and why they matched your role. No name, photo, contact details or CV until the talent says yes. Browsing profiles costs nothing.
What if we already know the talent?
No fee if they were already in an active application process with you in the 6 months before the introduction — say, they applied for a comparable role. Flag them in the platform within 10 working days and attach proof, such as the application receipt.
What does the pilot look like?
Six weeks, two job families, success criteria agreed in writing up front. If we don't beat your baseline on time-to-first-interview and quality of suggestions, you owe nothing.
