Germany's shortage of skilled workers has been on the agenda for years. Even so, an engineer applying from Turkey spends months getting placed. The reason is not a shortage of openings.

Every listing has its own form, its own CV expectations, its own language requirement. Preparing a single application properly takes about forty minutes. Fifty applications, thirty-three hours. Most people stop at the fifteenth — not because the listings ran out, but because they did.

Kelyvaro takes on those thirty-three hours. It does not take on the sending: you see every application, you approve it, and the mail goes out from your own address. That is not a preference but a requirement — employers reply to an application from a real person, not to bot traffic.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. The last one is yours.

  1. Build your profile

    Your experience, education, language level, visa status and the cities you want to move to. It takes about fifteen minutes. You never fill it in again.

  2. Let Kelyvaro prepare

    New listings are scanned every hour. For the ones that fit your profile, an ATS-ready CV and a cover letter written for that listing are prepared and queued for your approval. It works while you sleep.

  3. Approve and follow up

    You go through the queue over your morning coffee. Whatever you approve goes out from your own email address. Who opened it, who replied, which stage you are at — all of it is in the dashboard.

Every step of an application, in one place.

    Informed matching

    Listings are filtered by your profile, your visa status and your language level. A company that does not sponsor visas never reaches your list — so it never costs you time.

  2. CV rewriting

    GERMANY

    Not every profession takes the same road.

    In Germany, formal recognition of a foreign degree (Anerkennung) is mandatory for some professions and not for others. Some require a language certificate; in others employers are flexible. Kelyvaro knows the difference and only shows you listings you can genuinely apply to.

    The 2026 Beitragsbemessungsgrenze is €101,400 a year (€8,450 a month). Blue Card thresholds are set as a percentage of it: 50% for the standard threshold, 45.3% for shortage occupations and career starters.

    Footnotes

    Data analyst — classification

    "Datenanalyst" has no exact counterpart in ISCO-08. Whether it counts as a shortage occupation depends on the job description — IT and software focused roles fall inside group 25, business or finance analysis roles may fall outside it. The description of the work decides, not the job title in the contract.

    Nurse — Blue Card eligibility

    The Blue Card requires a university degree. Germany’s classic three-year vocational nursing training does not count as one. A nurse with a bachelor’s degree can obtain a Blue Card at the shortage threshold; a nurse with a vocational or associate qualification cannot, and uses a different residence permit under §18a AufenthG.

    Accountant — the limits of the work

    "Buchhalter" is not a regulated profession, but the work it may perform is limited by law (§6 StBerG).

    Unrestricted

    Reserved for a Steuerberater

    • recording
    • data entry
    • bookkeeping from coded documents
    • current transaction records, payroll, income tax returns(with commercial training and three years of experience at a minimum of sixteen hours a week)
    • year-end closing
    • balance sheets
    • tax returns
    • VAT returns

    Exceeding the limit carries a fine of up to €5,000.

    Sales specialist — the insurance exception

    Not regulated. The one exception is sector-specific — selling insurance requires a §34d GewO permit from the IHK and a competence exam.

    Glossary

    Anerkennung
    The process of having a degree earned abroad formally recognised in Germany. Mandatory in regulated professions such as healthcare and law; most of the time not required in engineering and software.
    Engpassberuf
    A shortage occupation as defined by §18g(1) sentence 2 no. 1 AufenthG by reference to ISCO-08 groups; applications in these groups qualify for the lower Blue Card salary threshold.
    Beitragsbemessungsgrenze (BBG)
    The income ceiling for German social insurance contributions; the Blue Card salary thresholds are calculated each year as a percentage of it.
