What is Fachkräfte-Recruiting?
Fachkräfte-Recruiting (fachkraefterecruiting.com) is a Berlin-based social recruiting service that delivers pre-qualified applications from social media campaigns. According to its legal notice, it is a brand of dot-gruppe / more crossmedia GmbH (Pariser Platz 6a, 10117 Berlin, Berlin-Charlottenburg commercial register HRB 73492B, represented by Bernhard Longin). The dot-gruppe states 2001 as its founding year. Its distinguishing feature: according to the provider's website, as of October 2026, it bills per qualified lead rather than a flat fee per campaign.
The provider positions itself between headhunters and job boards. In its own comparison it cites €20,000 to €35,000 per hire for headhunters and €1,500 to €3,000 for job boards. These are vendor claims, not independently surveyed market prices.
Who is it for?
The target group is employers needing skilled trades and technical staff who do not want to run campaigns and video production themselves. The website lists ten sectors: IT and tech, healthcare and nursing, trades and construction, logistics, facility management, security and services, social services, hospitality, energy, and industry and manufacturing.
It fits less well when an employer wants to manage ads, ad account and applicant data entirely in-house. Anyone who lets a service provider run the campaigns has to accept that provider's choice of channels and audiences.
Core features
- Social media campaigns: ads targeted by industry and audience. The website does not name the individual platforms explicitly.
- Recruiting videos: video production runs through the group's dot-films unit and is included in the price, according to the provider.
- Pre-qualification: applications are screened with AI and manually before they reach the employer, according to the provider.
- Candidate journey: landing pages and the application flow are part of the scope.
- Reporting: monthly evaluation and campaign optimization.
Process according to the provider
| Step | Content | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Potential analysis | 30 minutes, free |
| 2 | Strategy and video concept | 48 hours |
| 3 | Video production and campaign launch | under 7 days |
| 4 | First qualified applications | from week 1 |
| 5 | Optimization and reporting | ongoing, monthly |
All timings come from the provider and describe the best case. How fast a role is actually filled depends on occupation, region and pay level.
Pricing (as of October 2026)
The provider publishes no price list but names the key points of its model:
| Item | Per the provider's website |
|---|---|
| Billing | per qualified lead; no fee without results |
| Fee per lead | depends on industry, not published |
| Ad budget (platform costs) | €1,500 to €5,000 per month |
| Setup fee | none |
| Video production | included |
| Term | 3 months recommended, no rigid commitment stated |
Important for budgeting: the ad budget comes on top of the lead fee. Reading only "pay per lead" makes it easy to underestimate the cost. A full calculation is only possible once the fee per lead is in the quote. It is also worth asking how the provider defines a "qualified" lead and who decides on that classification.
Figures and promises from the provider
