Client experience
Our vacancies were filled successfully: quickly, professionally and without the usual effort of job boards.
02 / The problem
It is frustrating. The vacancy has been advertised for months, the team is stretched to its limit and orders are left waiting. And your inbox holds either no applications at all or ones you can rule out at first glance.
Perhaps you have already tried a recruitment agency. Then you know the invoice that arrives as soon as someone signs. Or an agency that delivered plenty of clicks and very few people.
At some point you start to wonder whether there are any good people left in your industry or region.
There are. They are just not looking where you advertise.
03 / The causes
Three things now decide whether a vacancy gets filled or stays open.
Good people are rarely out of work and do not browse job boards. An ad there mainly reaches those who are actively looking right now. Everyone else never hears about your vacancy, even though many would be open to a better offer.
Cover letter, CV upload, creating an account: anyone who comes across your vacancy on their phone in the evening gives up right there. The more hurdles there are between interest and application, the fewer good people reach you.
When applications do arrive, they land in an inbox, get forwarded and retyped. That is time your day-to-day business cannot spare. And if you reply too late, the good candidate has long since accepted another offer.

is how long a vacancy registered with the German Federal Employment Agency stays unfilled on average before it is withdrawn.
05 / The comparison
All three routes can fill a vacancy. They differ in who they reach, how much work stays with you and how costs grow once you are filling more than one role.
One project, one fixed budget, no fee per head. Applications land directly in your system, and you have one dedicated contact.
Ad packages per vacancy and month. You mainly reach people who are actively looking right now.
A fee per hire, typically 15 to 35% of the annual salary. With several vacancies the total multiplies.
06 / The solution

Together we work out who you are really looking for, where these people live and work, and what would make them move. That becomes the message of your campaign.

11 / About us
Weber Media is owner-managed. From the first call you speak to the people who actually deliver your project, and you have one dedicated contact without being passed around.
Founder and managing director
E-Commerce Manager (IHK). Has combined growth strategy, performance marketing and technical delivery for more than ten years and is personally involved in every project.
Strategy and concept
Psychology (B.Sc.). Makes sure that the messaging and the application journey suit the people you want to win over.
Weber Media Consulting GmbH, Herlingsburg 6-10, 22529 Hamburg. We work with companies all over Germany by phone and video call. Meeting in person is possible at any time, but not necessary.
As a state-accredited management consultancy, we help you apply for suitable funding programmes, including through BAFA and regional business development agencies.
We build integrations with Softgarden, Personio, Workday, Haufe and other systems. Applications arrive where your team already works.
We work on a project basis: a fixed budget for our service and ad spend instead of a fee per hire. How large that budget is depends on the number and type of your vacancies. In the potential analysis we give you a specific figure. For comparison: recruitment agencies usually charge 15 to 25% of the annual salary per hire, headhunters 25 to 35%. The more vacancies you fill, the clearer the difference becomes.
Once you approve it, the campaign goes live and applications can start coming in. How quickly a role is filled depends on the profession, the region and your selection process. You get an honest assessment for your vacancy in the potential analysis.
Very little. You need time for the initial call, for signing off copy and ads, and for interviewing the applicants. Writing, design, ad placement and analysis are all handled by us.
Our clients include companies in construction, agricultural trade, energy and filling station infrastructure, car retail, sports retail and the social sector. What matters is not the industry but whether the skilled people you need exist in your region. That is exactly what we check in the potential analysis. For skilled trades and care we have written dedicated guides.
We continuously monitor how the campaign performs and adjust the messaging, audience and ads until the right applications come in. We tell you openly whether we see a realistic chance for your vacancy before you commission anything.
A recruitment agency searches for individual candidates and charges per hire. We build a channel that brings in a steady flow of applications for your vacancies, straight into your applicant tracking system. You do not pay a share of the annual salary, and the visibility you gain as an employer stays with you.
In principle, yes. In practice it usually fails on three points: the ads reach the wrong people, the application process is too cumbersome and applications sit unanswered for too long. We do this every day and bring copy, design, technology and the integration with your applicant tracking system together from a single source.
Yes. We build integrations with Softgarden, Personio, Workday, Haufe and other systems. Applications then go straight into your applicant tracking system, and your processes stay as they are.
As a state-accredited management consultancy, we help you apply for suitable funding programmes, including through BAFA and regional business development agencies. Whether funding is an option for you, and how much, is something we clarify in a conversation.
Yes. You can hand your entire recruiting over to us or book individual building blocks, for example a career page, employer branding or LinkedIn recruiting.
