We build bridges for international IT talents to Austria

Full support for international IT talents and Austrian employers, from the first meeting to successful integration.

Mission and Motivation

Connect. Understand. Mediate.

Top education, but lack of access

In Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and other non-EU neighbouring countries, young people receive high-quality and practice-oriented IT education. They offer great potential, but often face structural barriers when starting their international career.

Understanding entry challenges

Entering the Austrian labour market involves many obstacles for international professionals, from language barriers and unfamiliar processes to a lack of networks. We have a deep understanding of the challenges and issues that Balkan professionals face, thanks to the personal experience of our Serbian co-founder.

Bridge between the Balkans and Austria

Here is where we step in: Recruify matches top talent with the right employers in Austria, professionally, compassionately, and most importantly, by truly understanding the needs of both sides.

Our Services

What we offer

Targeted placement of top talents

Recruify identifies and matches highly qualified IT professionals from international non-EU neighbouring countries such as Serbia, who meet the requirements of Austrian companies.

Legally compliant immigration process (RWR Card, EU Blue Card)

With us, the immigration process is also as smooth as possible, as we support Austrian employers and international professionals in all steps relating to the Red-White-Red Card or the EU Blue Card. If required, we also support family members. Through clear processes, personalised support and close coordination with the authorities, we ensure that everything runs seamlessly.

Relocation service incl. housing search

We accompany professionals in their search for a desirable home in Austria and act as a reliable partner for all important organizational matters to ensure a comfortable and efficient relocation from the very first day.

Individual support and integration assistance

To ease the start in Austria, we provide talents with personal support – offering guidance, cultural orientation, and practical assistance in everyday life. This promotes successful and long-term integration into both professional and social environments.

Challenges

Obstacles faced by IT talents from non-EU neighbouring countries

Lack of information

Insufficient or hard-to-access information about the labour market, legal requirements, or recognition of qualifications.

Complicated immigration processes

Lengthy and often non-transparent procedures for obtaining residence permit (RWR, EU Blue Card).

Looking for accommodation

Difficult to find housing in a tight real estate market, particularly without local contacts or language skills.

Integration after arrival

Adjusting to a new culture, language barriers, and the absence of social networks make it harder to settle into the new environment.

How does it work?

Step by step to successful placement

Preselection

Based on a precise assessment of needs and jointly defined profile criteria, we filter suitable candidates from our talent pool. We pay close attention to technical skills, language proficiency, and soft skills.

Introduction to the employer

The selected talents are presented to the company. Upon request, we accompany the entire selection process, from interviews to decision-making, efficiently and discreetly.

Processing of the residence permit

We closely support the application process for the required residence permit with integrated work authorization (Red-White-Red Card, EU Blue Card), including all necessary documents and deadlines.

Support with housing and integration

After a successful placement, we assist talents with their relocation to Austria, from finding accommodation to navigating daily life. So that arriving is not just possible, but successful.
