About hiyer

hiyer is the marketplace for recruitment consulting in Germany. Companies with job openings can find selected boutique recruiting agencies on the platform—specialized in their industry or function—and only pay upon a successful hire. In turn, recruiters receive search mandates without business development efforts and can place candidates who do not currently fit their own assignments. This transforms a market of thousands of small consultancies into a powerful network where every search finds the right recruiters—faster, more transparently, and with no upfront costs. Founded in Munich, launched: September 2026.

Our Mission

Good candidates don't apply – they have to be found. That’s what boutique recruitment agencies do best: specialized, well-networked, with access to candidates who don't read job ads. But the market is heavily fragmented and opaque: thousands of small agencies, no comparability, no single place to find the right one. Those who find one typically pay a retainer: costs are incurred before a single candidate is seen. And you commit to a single agency, even though a different one might be best for each search. On the flip side, agencies spend a lot of time and money on client acquisition instead of recruitment.

Our Vision

In five years, hiyer will be the standard way companies in the DACH region engage recruitment agencies – just as natural as placing a job ad today. The majority of specialized boutique agencies will work on the platform, using it not only for client mandates, but also among themselves: candidates who aren't the right fit for one mandate will find their role through the network with another recruiter. This will create the first structured overview of a market that has remained opaque until now.
