An English job ad isn't always an English-speaking job
Search for English-speaking jobs in Germany and you'll find thousands of results. Open them one by one and a pattern appears: the ad is in English, the team sounds international — and the last bullet says “fluent German and English required”.
A typical keyword alert

- English is the working language
- German optional
28%
of the English-language job ads we analysed still require working-level German — and 80% of those ask for C1 or higher. See the data
That's the time sink: not finding English job ads, but finding out which of them you can actually get. Berjobs does that part for you.
What Berjobs checks in every posting
- German requirement and level — required, preferred, “a plus” or not needed; A2, B2, C1 or native. Clause by clause, in English and German.
- Role and seniority — from the title and the requirements, compared with the roles and experience in your profile.
- Location and work mode — your cities, remote or hybrid, or anywhere in Germany.
- Visa — whether the posting mentions sponsorship or relocation, or rules it out.
- Salary — when the ad states one. When something isn't stated, we say “not specified” instead of guessing.

What Berjobs is — and isn't
Berjobs is not a job board and not a recruiter. It's a quiet assistant: you describe what you're looking for once, and every day it checks the job boards of the employers we track — currently 40, mostly technology companies and scale-ups — for new postings that fit. We don't cover every job in Germany, and we're adding employers over time. What we send, we've read.
