Our Benefits
One of the goals for talentsconnect we have formulated is: "Build the best Home for our own Talents!" We are continuously thinking about what we can do to achieve this. Currently, we are proud of the following points.
Being brave is expressly permitted
We have clear goals, but many roads lead to Rome. You can be creative and bold with your ideas. That's the only way we'll be successful!
Work remotely or in the office
You work from home, in our great office in Cologne, or define a flexible mix for yourself that fits your private environment.
Try out!
You have a great idea? Great! Here you get the time to test your idea.
Remote & Hybrid sind bei uns Standard
Spätestens seit 2020 stellen wir es allen Mitarbeitenden komplett frei, von wo aus sie arbeiten wollen. Wir haben diese neue Flexibilität lieben gelernt und wollen unsere Kultur bewusst als Hybrid-Modell weiterentwickeln. Es besteht die Möglichkeit, bis zu 3 Monate am Stück und insgesamt 6 Monate pro Jahr aus dem Ausland zu arbeiten.
Team meetings ensure high transparency
Once a month, we come together in Homecoming Friday. In addition, we have our quarterly meetings, where we take a look at the figures and our development. That way, everyone knows where we stand.
Continuing education and development are constant companions
We try to improve every day. This includes personal development. We support every form of further development, have our own TC Academy for our customers, the TC University for ourselves and enable everyone to take on responsibility at the earliest possible stage.
Flexible working models
We want to enable our team members to remain an active part of talentsconnect as life evolves around them. We are open to full-time, part-time or other flexible working time models.
We have the most unique office in Cologne
Our office is our home away from home. We make it a point that once you've been inside, you'll never forget it. We are proud of its self-will, the space, the crooked shapes in it, our bar "Haus Fox", the swing room and the roof terrace.
Attractive and transparent salary system
We know what the market offers. And we will put together a fair offer for you. This usually consists of a fixed salary, performance-related salary components, an allowance for old-age provision and disability insurance, and virtual shares for executives.
Great to have you here!
Transparency is an important principle for us at talentsconnect, which is why we would like to provide you with the following information. As you can already see from the job title, this is a "Future Job Opening". This means that you are welcome to submit your documents via the application button, but it is not yet clear when you will be hired. We are not currently recruiting external people. However, in a fast-moving company, this may change soon.
We live recruiting true to the motto, like to communicate quickly and set the course for the future, rather than waiting and starting the process when the time is right. We look forward to hearing from you and to receiving your application!
Recruiting made easy - with our JobShop...
...the individual job marketing platform for every company.
With the JobShop, companies can optimally offer jobs (themselves) and market them directly with data support. This enables you to generate more qualified applications and to fill positions directly and without depending on headhunters and the like.
The view inside - our CareerShop
In addition to the shortage of skilled workers, the situation in companies is becoming more acute. In addition to jobs that are insanely difficult to fill, your current colleagues are also leaving you? We take preventive measures, point out developments internally and significantly reduce your fluctuation and the resulting costs.
We simply dared:
Flexible working models, for everyone! Working hours, work location, and variable compensation dynamically adapt to your life. In May 2022, we issued an addendum to the employment contract for all talentsconnect employees, which applies immediately. Do you think this is in line with the times? - We are looking forward to your application!
- You decide on the place of work, the working hours and also the weekly hours. Not once and forever, but every quarter: Where do you want to work? How much do you want to work?
- And once a year: Do you want to convert your bonus, which you receive in virtual shares, into cash on our internal marketplace? Or take some risk with us and participate in the development?
- We call this our professional "Best Home" - rigid becomes flexible. Your job adapts to your life. Our employees love that. And we all benefit from it.
We are talentsconnect.
We connect talent and business through technology.
We have been developing software solutions for personnel marketing and HR departments for over ten years. In doing so, we have realized how much companies today depend on digital job boards and headhunters. Every year, companies pay more money to intermediaries to advertise their jobs online and market them to their target audience. Often with mediocre results. Especially for smaller companies.
That's why we have focused all our efforts on two products that enable large and small companies to offer and market jobs online in the best possible way, to attract and retain talent DIRECTLY. Built very simply, like an online store.
We call our products JobShop & CareerShop.
Our customers call it Independence.
We just dared to do it:

Guiding principles - the talentsconnect mentality
The talentsconnect mindset is composed of four core values - ease, sustainability, trust and customer focus.
EASE
means making things easier for our customers and friends. Our product is easy to buy, easy to integrate, easy to use and easy to optimize. By offering simple solutions, we give back time and effort to our customers.
SUSTAINABILITY
means being consistent. That means we want to be CO2-neutral and meet the German climate targets for 2050. But sustainability means much more to us. It's also about the way we hire employees, enter into partnerships and align our products for the long term. We place great value on genuine relationships with our employees and want to create an environment in which they are more than just colleagues.
TRUST
It is the one non-negotiable thing that precedes every action and every decision. We see it as the foundation of the other values, as it is an important component of them as well. None of the other values would work if there was no trust.
CUSTOMER FOCUS
For us, customer satisfaction comes first. This is not a matter of a single team, but of all of us, every day. If our customer is not satisfied, we feel bad and strive to change this immediately.

Employee experience
Vivien Zepeck
SDR
"I decided to join talentsconnect because I really wanted to change my job in the lab for something I enjoy and where I can be in contact with people. I'm incredibly grateful that I'm now getting the chance to do what I like to do as a profession. During onboarding, I was not left alone and was optimally prepared to achieve my ambitious goals in the future. I am allowed to learn an incredible amount every day here and have had a lot of customer contact right from the start. I was able to make my first calls with potential clients in my 3rd week! I feel super comfortable at talentsconnect and am very happy to be part of the growing team!"
Max
Co-Founder & Account Executive
"What I enjoy most about my job is the exchange with companies. I love showing contacts how much potential there is in your recruiting process. Seeing the sparkle in their eyes as a result is always an absolute highlight. With the Jobshop, we have a product on our hands that is simple, ingenious and efficient at the same time. We help companies become better and more efficient every day. I expect passion, fun, ambition and determination from my colleagues."
