What get in GmbH does

get in GmbH is a German private limited company headquartered in Köln, founded in 2013, operating a specialty online job marketplace targeting the German IT labor market. Its flagship platforms get-in-it.de and the adjacent get-in-engineering.de connect employers with IT graduates, young professionals, and career changers via a reverse-recruiting model in which candidates build free anonymous profiles, tag themselves across a catalog of over 400 IT skills, and receive inbound inquiries from employers rather than applying outbound. The company is positioned as Germany's largest specialized job portal for IT entry-level talent, with 2,500+ employers actively sourcing through the platform, 1,361 companies listed, and roughly 674–764 active job listings spanning 14 German states.

The product surface spans the self-serve get in IT Jobportal for candidates, the EmployerGate portal for companies, and the recurring job I/O virtual live-event series for real-time employer–candidate engagement. Supporting modules include the Magazin & Insights editorial hub, the Gehaltsrechner salary calculator, the IT-Skills Profil anonymous profile system, and conversion-focused Jobquiz and IT-Security Quiz tools. Customer-facing enterprise logos span IT services and consulting (msg, adesso, FERCHAU, BTC, Reply, DIS, CompuSafe), manufacturing and chemicals (BASF), insurance (Allianz in Deutschland), retail (Rossmann), and engineering services (FERCHAU), with a stated employer base that includes both named enterprises and a long tail of SMB recruiting customers.

The business model is a freemium, two-sided marketplace: candidates access the platform at no cost while employers pay recurring subscription or per-listing fees to access the talent pool, post jobs, and use EmployerGate and employer-branding tools. Distribution is digital-only, combining self-serve website traffic with a direct enterprise sales motion into corporate HR teams. No mobile app, public API, or disclosed SDK is offered, and only one early-stage 2014 funding event from Betafabrik is on record, with no subsequent funding rounds, leadership hires, M&A, or partnership announcements disclosed in the source data.

Broad incumbents

• Indeed Germany: Indeed is a global horizontal job search engine with strong presence in Germany. It competes for both candidate attention and employer pay-per-click recruitment spend against get-in-it's specialist platform.
• LinkedIn (Talent Solutions): LinkedIn dominates recruiter sourcing globally and is increasingly active in Germany with LinkedIn Learning and Talent Insights. Its scale and candidate reach make it the primary competitor for employer recruitment budgets.
• StepStone Group: StepStone is one of Germany's largest generalist job board operators, running Stepstone.de and Totaljobs across Europe. It competes with get-in-it for employer recruitment spend but serves all professions, not specialized IT graduates.
• XING (New Work SE): XING is the leading German-language professional network with integrated job ads and recruiter tools. It competes with get-in-it's employer-side offerings and shares the same German-speaking talent pool.

Direct peers

• Honeypot: Honeypot is a reverse recruiting marketplace for tech talent in Europe where employers apply to candidates rather than vice versa. Its product mechanic and target audience closely mirror get-in-it's model.
• Hired: Hired operates a marketplace that matches tech candidates with employers and inverts the application flow. It is a comparable reverse-recruiting tech talent marketplace, though primarily US/UK focused.
• Stack Overflow Jobs: Stack Overflow historically ran a tech-focused job marketplace leveraging developer profiles and skills tags. It serves a similar IT talent pool with skills-based matching like get-in-it's 400+ IT skills taxonomy.

Emerging players

• Arbeitnow: Arbeitnow is an English/German-speaking tech job board focused on European tech roles with skills filters. It competes for the same candidate pool as get-in-it but skews more toward international candidates.
• Joblift: Joblift is a German job search aggregator that consolidates listings across multiple boards and offers employer branding tools. It overlaps with get-in-it's marketplace function and shares the German employer market.

Others

• Kununu (employer branding): Kununu is Germany's leading employer review and branding platform owned by XING/New Work. It overlaps with get-in-it's employer branding service but focuses on reviews rather than candidate sourcing.
