Starting point
The Challenge
Why traditional recruiting fails in construction and the trades
Massive Skilled Worker Shortage
Over 250,000 open positions in trades. New talent is missing, experienced workers are almost impossible to find.
Projects Get Delayed
Without staff, construction projects are delayed by weeks or months. That costs real money.
Tradespeople Aren't on Job Portals
Traditional job ads on Indeed & Co. barely reach the target group anymore. Tradespeople apply differently.
Attracting International Workers
Many construction workers come from abroad. Communication and qualification verification are complex.
No Structured Recruiting
Many construction firms still hire through word of mouth. That's not scalable and unpredictable.
Qualifications Hard to Verify
Journeyman certificates, master craftsman certificates, driver's licenses, certifications. Pre-checking takes enormous time.
What if an AI recruiter found skilled workers for your job sites around the clock?

In practice
For our water damage restorer position we had over 30 applications after one week, for less than 100 euros of ad budget, so around three euros per application. The people fit, the agent scores them in advance, and most come in at 70 percent or higher. We have already hired two employees through recruiting.ki. For a trades business in Saxony-Anhalt that is a different league.

Testimonials
What clients achieve with recruiting.ki
Managing directors, HR managers and recruiters on their projects with recruiting.ki.
Plant mechanic hired from the very first ad
An advanced AI platform that really lets anyone create professional campaigns with ease. You need no prior online marketing knowledge, the platform takes most of the work off your hands. With our first ad we were looking for plant mechanics, and shortly afterwards we actually hired someone through our recruiting.ki campaign.

6 applicants in 10 hours, 12 campaigns running in parallel
Astonishing results in terms of volume! From our very first campaign we had 6 applicants within the first 10 hours, and 48 hours later there were more than 30. We now run 12 campaigns at the same time, some of them for positions where we thought it would be hard to find any interested candidates at all! What we like most is the collaboration: our suggestions and needs, for example around system integrations, are taken on board and implemented lightning fast.

Over 20 applications from skilled workers in 2 weeks
We are looking for skilled workers in concrete drilling and sawing, a niche where you can hardly reach anyone through the classic channels anymore. Through the social media campaigns, over 20 applications came in within the first two weeks, including people who really come from the trade. That honestly surprised us.

Over 300 applications at around €5 per applicant
As a staffing agency with five branches, we constantly need applicants for blue-collar roles. Since July, recruiting.ki has brought us over 300 applications for production and warehouse positions, at around 5 euros per applicant. What matters most to us: applicants land directly in our HR4YOU via the integration, without anyone having to type anything in. Social recruiting has gone from a project to a running process for us.

Over 340 applications for four positions
We have been using recruiting.ki for quite some time now and have achieved truly top results with it: more than 340 applications for four positions. The campaigns deliver with great success, the platform runs cleanly on the technical side, and the support is helpful with every question and there for you right away.

Over 30 truck driver applicants in 10 days, under €6 each
My first campaign ran for long-haul truck drivers, and it was a big success. After 2 days I already had 8 applicants, after 10 days it was over 30, and the vast majority of them are genuinely usable. Under 6 euros per applicant, that takes some doing, I would not have expected it. I now have not only an applicant platform that is technically state of the art, but also people at hand who know social media. And what is the core for me: I can run the campaigns in several countries. That gives me the reach I need.
