Challenge109,000 unfilled IT positions — and traditional recruiting can't keep up
The IT talent shortage in Germany has reached structural proportions. Companies search an average of 7.7 months for a qualified developer. At the same time, the demand for experienced specialists for cloud migrations, platform modernizations, and AI projects is rising. Without experienced leadership in development, this gap persists.
Traditional recruiters deliver resumes. Freelancers often bring neither ownership nor continuity. Agencies charge high day rates and offer little transparency about the actual experience of deployed staff. That's why enterprise teams need a different approach.
Krafteq solves this problem with its European network. Senior specialists with 10+ years of experience are carefully vetted and managed to Krafteq standards. Krafteq takes responsibility for quality, rotation, and continuity. Our engineers integrate into your processes, work with your tools, and take ownership — not as an external resource, but as a full team member with an EU location and direct communication.
BenefitsBenefits at a glance
Senior staff augmentation from Krafteq is fundamentally different from traditional recruitment. We select experts from our European network, vet them internally, and take responsibility for quality and continuity.
European network, managed by Krafteq
Krafteq selects the right experts from its European network — carefully vetted, managed to Krafteq standards. EU location, direct communication, and full accountability by Krafteq. You get real expertise from day one.
14 days to start
From contract signing to the first working day takes a maximum of 14 days. No months-long recruiting, no waiting. Especially valuable during project peaks, resignations, or parental leave coverage.
Productive from the first week
Our engineers know enterprise environments. They bring onboarding experience and integrate quickly into existing codebases, architectures, and processes. They typically make productive contributions within the first week.
Ownership instead of ticket processing
Krafteq engineers take responsibility for their area. They think ahead, constructively challenge decisions, and deliver measurable impact. At the same time, they respect your team structures and processes.
German language skills as an option
For teams with German-language communication, we offer specialists with business-fluent German. Particularly relevant for regulated industries, customer-facing roles, or internal stakeholder coordination.
Satisfaction guarantee with no risk
Within the first 14 days, you can exit at no cost. No fine print, no financial risk. Additionally, we handle quick replacements if there is dissatisfaction — that's part of our responsibility.
What Sets Us ApartNo juniors. Senior engineers with an ownership mindset.
The difference starts with the selection. Krafteq selects experts from its European network — carefully vetted, managed to Krafteq standards, and quality-assured. We don't just evaluate resumes — we assess code quality, architectural understanding, and problem-solving skills. Only those who meet our own hiring criteria are considered for client projects.
Unlike traditional providers, Krafteq takes ongoing responsibility. Our engineers work to Krafteq standards: production-first engineering, clean code, observability, and documentation are second nature. As a result, you benefit not only from additional capacity but from a quality culture that strengthens your existing team.
Our engineers work with modern, established technologies. In the backend, we cover Java with Spring Boot, C#/.NET with ASP.NET Core, TypeScript with Node.js and NestJS, Go with Gin, and Ruby on Rails. In the frontend, React, Angular, and Vue.js are our focus areas. For DevOps and SRE, we bring expertise in Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and ArgoCD. In QA, we rely on Playwright, Cypress, JUnit 5, pytest, and k6 for load testing. Add to that solid cloud experience on AWS, Azure, and GCP — including EU-based alternatives like Hetzner and OVHcloud for projects with sovereignty requirements.
Especially important: we always think of software including operations. Our specialists bring reliability, observability, and security into your projects from the start. That's what sets them apart from pure feature developers who write code and leave the rest to others.
