Whyapply is a dynamic HR-Startup based in the vibrant city of Leipzig, Germany. Established in 2017, the company focuses on innovating the recruitment process by capitalizing on passive job seekers—the 83% of employees who are open to new opportunities without actively searching for them.
The core offering of Whyapply is its unique “JobChallenges” system. This approach leverages user-generated content to match potential candidates with real, everyday work tasks at target companies. These challenges are then shared across social media platforms to recruit the best talent in an engaging and targeted way.
Operating at the intersection of Advertising, Internet, Marketing, and Human Resources, Whyapply seeks to redefine how businesses approach employer branding. While their last known funding was a Seed Round investment on August 28, 2019, further details on investment amounts or investor names have not been disclosed.
