FAQ 

Some commonly asked questions about Berlin job search sites.

How many Berlin job search websites should I use at once?

You should use a maximum of 5-10 Berlin job search websites at the same time. Start with 3-4 general sites like LinkedIn, StepStone, and Indeed. Then add 2-3 specialized sites based on your field (tech, creative, healthcare). Using too many sites will make your search harder to manage.

Do I need German language skills to use Berlin job search websites?

Many Berlin job search websites offer English versions, but German skills help a lot. Sites like European Language Jobs and Xpat Jobs focus on English-speaking jobs. However, learning basic German will give you access to more opportunities on German-only platforms.

How often should I check job sites for new opportunities?

Check your main Berlin job search websites daily. You’ll find new jobs are posted throughout the week. Set up job alerts on 3-4 key sites to get notifications when matching positions are posted.

Are Berlin job search websites free to use?

Most Berlin job search websites are completely free for job seekers. You can search jobs, apply, and create profiles without paying. Some sites offer premium features like application tracking or priority placement, but these are optional extras.

Can I apply to jobs directly through online platforms?

Yes, most Berlin job search websites let you apply directly through their platform. Some will redirect you to the company’s website. Always follow the application instructions carefully – some companies prefer emails while others want online forms. We also to advise to always apply directly through a company website.

How do job alerts work on employment websites?

Job alerts send you new job listings by email based on your search criteria. Set up alerts with specific keywords (like your job title), location (Berlin or specific districts), and salary range. You can usually choose daily or weekly notifications.

What information should I put in my online job profiles?

Create complete profiles with a professional photo, detailed work experience, skills, and education. Many sites allow PDF CV uploads. Write a short summary in both German and English if possible. Complete profiles get 3x more views from recruiters.

Should I use recruitment agencies or online job platforms?

Use both strategies together. Online job platforms give you direct access to many jobs, while recruiters can help you find hidden opportunities. Recruiters are especially helpful for senior positions or if you need visa sponsorship.

What are the biggest mistakes people make when job hunting online?

Common mistakes include: using only one or two sites, not customizing applications for each job, ignoring German-language sites, and applying to jobs without reading requirements carefully. Avoid mass-applying to jobs that don’t match your skills.

How do I handle salary expectations on Berlin job search websites?

Research salary ranges for your role using sites like Glassdoor or StepStone salary tools. Berlin salaries are generally lower than Munich or Frankfurt but higher than most German cities. Many job postings don’t list salaries, so be prepared to discuss expectations during interviews.

Can I use Berlin job search websites if I don't live in Germany yet?

Absolutely! Many people find jobs before moving to Berlin. Be clear about your availability date and visa status in applications. Some companies sponsor visas, while others only hire people already in Germany. Remote interviews are common and accepted.

Use this list of Berlin job search websites to help yourself find a job in Berlin – or somewhere else in Germany.

Hi, I’m Cheryl. My mission is to help you move to Berlin and find work.

A Canadian in Berlin for 10+ years, I have the unique experience of moving to Berlin – not once, but twice. During my time in Berlin, I’ve had five different visas and worked as both a freelancer and a permanent employee for numerous Berlin companies. I even managed to find a new job during the pandemic and again in 2023, during Germany’s recession and massive layoffs in tech. 

My day job has involved work as a hiring manager, overseeing the recruitment of countless people, as well as a team coach helping teams and individuals work better and find happiness in their careers. Through my side projects, I’ve also shared my personal experiences by publishing a series of helpful blog posts, creating a thriving community of job seekers, and hosting events to help people find work in Berlin. In 2021, I decided to put my coaching and recruiting talents to use by creating The Berlin Life, bringing my existing content and community together in one spot.

The combination of my personal and professional experience means I know exactly what it takes to move to Berlin and find work.
