About Will Werk
Recruitment can be better, faster and cheaper.
Our vision
For too long, recruitment has been an expensive, slow and opaque industry. Agencies charge a substantial share of the annual salary as their fee, while more and more of the work can be automated. Will Werk is putting an end to that.
For years, recruiters and agencies have charged high fees for work that in practice consists largely of interviews and administration. A single placement can cost as much as €40,000. That money comes straight out of what a company can offer a candidate: less room for a good salary, better terms of employment or additional benefits. We are here to change that.
Using AI, we hold hundreds of candidate interviews at once, assess each one against the requirements of the role and match the right people to the right vacancies. No empty promises and no hidden costs, only a low, fixed price.
