What is HiOffice?
HiOffice is a recruiting provider operated by HiOffice Group GmbH with three locations in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). According to the provider's website, as of October 2026, the company has more than 100 employees and works with over 2,000 partner companies. By its own account, the brand emerged from a classic social recruiting agency. Today the provider uses a data-based approach: instead of launching a new campaign for every role, it taps an existing pool of candidates.
The term "Sellcruiting" describes the combination of AI and a personal conversation: recruiters talk to candidates and check qualification, regional fit and genuine interest before a profile reaches the employer.
Who is it for?
The provider names sectors such as construction, healthcare and social services, industry, retail and automotive, logistics, IT, hospitality, education, consulting, energy and agriculture. The social recruiting page speaks of more than 26 industries, the homepage of over 50. According to the provider, small and mid-sized companies are also addressed.
The offer fits less well if an employer wants to build its own reach and win applicants through its own ads and its own talent pool. HiOffice centers on access to the provider's own pool rather than on building a pool at the employer.
Core features
- HiOffice Cloud: database of over one million skilled workers from more than 26 industries, structured by qualification, location, mobility and job-change status. According to the provider, about 1,200 new profiles are added daily.
- HiOffice KI: matching of candidates to the role using more than 100 data points, including qualification, location and salary expectations. According to the provider, the AI can contact prioritized candidates within 60 seconds.
- Sellcruiting: personal pre-qualification by trained recruiters.
- Social recruiting: campaigns on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, XING and TikTok as a supplementary channel.
