Hiring in Austria? Reach people not job hunting.
ad.boutique runs social recruiting for international companies building teams in Austria and the DACH region: German career pages, campaigns on Meta and LinkedIn and pre-qualified applications in a dashboard.
International employers in Austria compete with local brands that candidates already know. Social recruiting reaches people who are not actively looking, with German career pages, a short pre-qualifying application and campaigns on Meta and LinkedIn.
