Facebook Groups

A lot of people are fed up with Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook in general, but at the moment, plenty of Berlin-based employers are very active on the platform. Some recruiters have personally told me that it’s a favored hiring channel.

We admit that after a while, all the groups start to seem the same. Some don’t offer value, are a repository of spam, and share the same ads on repeat. With that in mind, we’ve tried to list the most active, useful, and well-moderated ones here.

There are also several Facebook groups featured in other areas of this post, but here are some other general ones that will help you with your job search:

1) BERLIN BOSS BABES (Our favorite community listed here!)

2) Berlin Jobs – Berlin job exchange

Job Sites For Foreigners

As much as possible, we will purposely avoid using the word “expat” on this website, due to its non-inclusive nature. Anyone from outside of the country, regardless of where they come from, can be considered foreigners in Germany, newbies, or immigrants.

While we reference plenty of sites in this article about where anyone can look for work, there are some job search websites completely dedicated to those who move to Germany from abroad.

1) English speaking people looking for a job – Berlin (Facebook group)

2) exatjobseeker.de

3) LifeworQ

4) The Local

5) Xpat Jobs

If you’re curious about why we won’t ever use the word expat here, read this article from The Guardian, Why are white people expats when the rest of us are immigrants?.

Recruiters In Berlin

Sometimes, it’s hard to find a job on your own, and you need help. Motivated recruiters will strive to place you as soon as they can.

I’m generally not a fan of recruiters who work on a commission basis. I feel like they treated me like a number and not a human. The minute that a company chose to go with another candidate, they failed to return my emails or phone calls and I never heard from them again. To date, I haven’t worked with a recruiter who was reliable or genuinely interested in finding me a job.

That said, as long as you know how recruiters can be, don’t take their dismissive behavior or lack of attention personally. If they can help you land a job, go with them. Just be careful and don’t hesitate to turn down a job offer or terminate your relationship with the recruiter if you feel they’re pressuring you into an uncomfortable situation.
