Frequently Asked Questions
Signing up
Hire Tech Talent is a platform committed to simplifying the process of connecting pre-screened tech talent with verified companies. Our mission is to change traditional recruiting among employers and employees. Using our platform makes finding the right tech talent or ideal company a breeze, allowing both sides to thrive in today's rapidly changing job market.
The current job market demand differs depending on the specific duties and abilities. Mobile and front-end/back-end developers are in high demand right now. There are also openings in DevOps, engineering leadership, data science, data engineering, and machine learning engineering. While prior experience working with startups is beneficial, it is not required. Most companies prefer English proficiency, while specific jobs may be posted in other languages.
Our streamlined registration process at Hire Tech Talent ensures a smooth and hassle-free experience. Prior to introducing you to potential companies, we have a detailed discussion about your salary expectations and technical preferences, as well as an overview of your code. Our platform offers weekly profile rotations for about five weeks, making your profile available to prospective companies. This timely approach motivates companies to act quickly and extend interview invitations. Accepting invitations, attending interviews, and making smart choices based on what best matches your interests and goals are all that you have to do.
The Talent Success Advisor is your trusted companion, offering expert guidance and support for all your Hire Tech-related questions and concerns. With their extensive knowledge and experience, they will guide you through each stage, assuring that it's a hassle-free process from sign-up to successfully closing a deal.
HireTech Talent is a free platform for talented individuals to look up and connect with potential employers.
We adhere to strict data privacy and security protocols to protect the information of both employers and candidates. This includes compliance with GDPR and other relevant data protection regulations.
Creating your profile
Along with the basic information, it is recommended to mention your salary expectations, preferred location, the type of contract you are looking for, and, ideally, the kind of job you want to do. There is also plenty of room to provide a personal summary and showcase your portfolio. If you have any questions, please get in touch with your technical advisor.
When creating your profile, please include your earliest start-by date. This information is important and should be included in your profile's About section. If you state your earliest start date, you will help potential employers understand your availability and make decisions when considering you for opportunities.
You can use the privacy settings to hide your profile from any specific company. You can block and restrict access to companies of your choice via the privacy page, effectively blocking them from reading your profile and related information. This keeps your profile hidden and inaccessible to those companies, giving you control over who can access your professional information.
- To hide your profile, follow these steps:
- Click on Profile Photo > Settings > Blocked Companies > Search and select the company > Save
- After which, your profile will be hidden from the company.
You can sign up to Hire Tech Talent when you’re ready to enter the job market! The Hire Tech process is optimized to be as quick as possible, so you’ll want to be sure you’ve got everything in order before you sign up. While we traditionally cater to experienced developers, fresh graduates can sign up to Hire Tech, too, so long as they complete our coding challenge!
It is strongly recommended to include your personal summary only if companies perceive it to be of great importance, contrary to popular belief. A well-written personal description of 50 to 200 words addresses three key questions: determining your identity, expressing your goals for your future career, and emphasizing the attributes that make you an ideal candidate for it.
It's important to think about yourself from the standpoint of a potential employer while including your skills. Focus on adding relevant and valuable abilities relevant to the desired position. Highlight your experience with programming languages, frameworks, and essential resources that you have learned. However, it is crucial to remember that this area is not intended to showcase "soft skills," better suited to your "About Me" section. By adapting your skill set to the relevant job, you can position yourself as a highly qualified applicant with the technical skills required for success.
An individual's ideal salary depends on a variety of factors that will vary according to the situation. Career experience and job title are important elements in determining salary range, but other considerations also play a role. The cost of living, labor costs, and the size and stage of the company are all factors that influence the salary range offered or expected. Individuals can examine and estimate their ideal salary by considering these things.
You can apply to as many locations as you wish without any limitations.
Note: It is important you only select a location if you are certain about your willingness to relocate there. If you want to work remotely, that must be made clear on your profile. At present, we do not have any companies specifically seeking talent for remote positions.
Yes, you’re welcome to join Hire Tech Talent regardless of location. If you’re up to relocating, choose the cities that interest you if you’d rather not, then select ‘other’ as your ideal position. Hire Tech is continuously expanding, and we’ll keep you updated on where we’re going next.
Language proficiency in German is only sometimes required, as many Berlin companies seek English-speaking individuals.
That’s entirely dependent on the company. Employers will frequently proffer relocation bonuses, but it’s unlikely they can help you find accommodation. We recommend you discuss these points directly with the company once you accept the interview invite.
Yes, you can set privacy preferences to block specific companies or industries from viewing your profile, ensuring discretion in your job search.

Visit a company's profile for more information if you want to learn more about them.
A company profile provides a thorough, transparent overview of the company’s work culture and hiring procedure, in addition to information about the development team, products, tech stack, and hiring procedure, as well as a timeline of significant developments and, in the case of bigger companies, a direct message from the CTO, CEO, or HR manager. Company profiles are a great resource when comparing positions and offers.
