The Challenge

Germany's job market is currently struggling with a skilled worker shortage. Meanwhile, the shift to digital job placement sidelines many seniors, who struggle with new technology and prefer traditional methods. With pensions falling short, some seek additional income. Others desire more social interaction, looking for ways to connect and engage Yet, as officials look abroad for labour, they overlook untapped potential of seniors - a solution that could ease the worker shortage domestically without crossing borders. A service designed for seniors' unique needs and desires could bridge this gap, tapping into a valuable resource right at home.

The solution

In addition to our digital platform, we provide services in traditional ways. Our digital interface is designed with seniors in mind, featuring a straightforward layout, easy navigation, and visual aids. We also offer phone and in-person interactions. Our placement process differs from typical job portals as we actively match seniors with appropriate employers based on questionnaires completed online or on paper by both parties.
