You: I'm a recruiter in Berlin, around five years' experience, English C1, German B1. Find me Talent Acquisition roles.
Agent: Searched Bundesagentur, Arbeitnow and LinkedIn in German and English and dropped 79 off-target titles. 15 relevant roles remain; 10 of them require German. Saved to
job-search/shortlists/2026-10-24-talent-acquisition-berlin.md. Next: shall I check your top 3 in detail, or set up StepStone and XING alerts?
| Score | Role | German | Salary | Why / main gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.5 | Senior TA Partner · Example Tech GmbH | not stated (English C1 asked) | not stated | Exact target; senior stakeholder work to confirm |
| 3.3 | TA Manager · Beispiel AG | required: "Sehr gute Deutschkenntnisse" | €62–84k | Strong fit; needs C1 German |
Example output with fictional employers.
| Stage | You get |
|---|---|
| Find | Live search with German and English titles, sources chosen for your field, off-target titles dropped, memory of jobs you've already seen |
| Check | German requirement with the quoted line, salary against 2026 Blue Card thresholds, agency/Zeitarbeit flags, contract terms, hidden-text checks, an honest 1–5 fit score |
| Apply | German Lebenslauf and Anschreiben or English CV and letter, then a reviewer pass that checks every claim against your CV, then PDF and an ATS check. Nothing is invented and nothing is sent |
| Interview | Mock interviews in German or English, one question at a time, with scored feedback |
| Track | Application log, follow-up reminders, response rates and an offline dashboard |
| Plan | Skill-gap ranking, salary benchmarks, visa routes (Blue Card, Chancenkarte, student and graduate permits), city comparisons |
Along the way you get a short progress update every few steps, and every result is saved as
Markdown in job-search/.
Sources are chosen per field: tech roles use the tech boards, while recruiting, sales, product, healthcare and trades use Bundesagentur, Arbeitnow, LinkedIn, StepStone, Indeed and XING. Before release it was tested end to end with two real-world profiles: a recruiter in Berlin and a master's student in Munich targeting product roles. In those tests, the share of on-target results in a recruiter search went from 29% to 87%, and German-language requirements were caught with quoted evidence.
