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.

    • Education
    • LanguageB2
    • Visa

  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

    THE PRODUCT

    Same profile, different job, different CV.

    The document below is not a drawing: it is the very component that renders your CV inside the dashboard, filled with a representative profile. The system reads the posting, orders the real experience in the profile against it, and writes it in German. It does not invent experience — not one sentence you could not defend in an interview goes into this document.

      Job title, required welding processes and language level are parsed out.

      The document comes out in the Lebenslauf structure a German employer expects.

    WHICH OCCUPATIONS

    Built around Germany’s shortage occupations.

    We currently cover 45 occupations. The German title of each was verified one by one against BERUFENET, the official occupation dictionary of the Bundesagentur für Arbeit — that is the exact word used in job ads.

    Where recognition is required, Kelyvaro follows the process step by step.

    Healthcare

    Care and education

    Show 7 more occupation groups

    Construction

    Electrical, plumbing and metal

    Manufacturing and maintenance

    Transport and logistics

    Hospitality and services

    Office

    Technology

    The “recognition needed” marker means the occupation is regulated in Germany: your qualification has to be formally recognised (Anerkennung). You can still sign up with an occupation that is not listed; scanning for it is limited for now.

    GERMANY

    Not every profession takes the same road.

    In Germany some occupations require formal recognition of your qualification (Anerkennung) and some do not. Some require a language certificate. More importantly: academic occupations and those entered with vocational training do not take the same route — the EU Blue Card requires a degree and a salary threshold, the §18a skilled worker route does not. Kelyvaro knows the difference and only shows you jobs you can actually apply for.

    The 2026 Beitragsbemessungsgrenze is €101,400/year (€8,450/month). EU Blue Card thresholds are a percentage of it: 50% standard, 45.3% for shortage occupations and early-career applicants. For skilled workers arriving with vocational training (§18a AufenthG) there is no salary threshold — the provision contains no income requirement at all. For anyone receiving a first residence permit after the age of 45, both routes require a salary of at least 55% of the BBG (€55,770) or proof of adequate pension provision (§18(2) no. 5). Both routes require formal recognition of the foreign qualification (§18(2) no. 4).

    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.

    Truck driver — the licence alone is not enough

    Besides a class C/CE driving licence, the Berufskraftfahrerqualifikation is required: code 95 entered on the licence. That is a separate examination and certificate under the BKrFQG. A Turkish licence must also be exchanged in Germany.

    Skilled trades — the Meister is only for your own business

    Construction and electrical trades are listed in Annex A of the Handwerksordnung, but §1(1) HwO imposes the Meister requirement only on the “selbständiger Betrieb” — running your own business. No Meister certificate is needed to be employed by a company. Recognition of your vocational qualification (§18(2) no. 4) is still required.

    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.
