Recruiting recommendations

Position role profile and tech stack precisely

  • Define the role distinctly: main responsibilities, required technologies (e.g. Python, Java, SQL) and seniority level.
  • Publish an advertised gross salary range: use the median €67,000 and the 25th–75th percentile €50,000–€84,000 as guidance.
  • Specify working model: indicate Onsite or Hybrid, as these are more common than Full Remote in Cologne.

Improve job ads

Job ad with clear role description and salary range

  • Craft a precise title: include function, seniority and Cologne or the working model (e.g. Hybrid).
  • Prioritize technologies: list core stack (e.g. Python, SQL) and mark must-have vs nice-to-have skills.
  • Be transparent on salary: state an advertised gross salary range (aligned with median €67,000 and P25–P75) rather than vague terms.
