For employers
Hire professionals without a placement fee.
Other providers charge per hire — commonly €10,000 to €20,000, or a substantial share of the annual salary. PAKA takes none of that. You pay a plan for access to the platform, and we handle recognition, the visa process and arrival.
- €0
- placement fee. You only pay the plan, no matter how many people you hire.
- § 81a
- Fast-track procedure for skilled workers: you are the applicant, we do the work under power of attorney.
- 3
- candidates free to view when you start — with documents, no payment details.
How a hire works
Three steps, and nothing in between lands on your desk
The process is the same as hiring locally — except that recognition, visa and arrival do not occupy your HR department. They decide whom you hire; we handle the paperwork.
- 01
You see the professional profile before you pay
Occupation, experience, language level, qualifications and an introduction video with subtitles — without unlocking and without an appointment. You unlock a candidate only when you want to get in touch.
- 02
The interview happens in the browser
Agree a time, hold the video call, record the outcome — no extra software and no time-zone arithmetic. All documents sit right next to it.
- 03
Recognition, visa and arrival run without you
After your offer we take over the procedure. In the fast-track procedure under § 81a of the German Residence Act you are the applicant, but PAKA does the work under power of attorney. You can see where the case stands at any time.
Plans
You pay per candidate, not per hire
No fee on signing, no further payment after the probation period. An unlocked candidate stays assigned to you permanently.
