Richard Fischer as a guest on the What's in Store Show: the shortage of skilled workers in Germany

The WorkerHero Story - From €1 million in 6 months to redefining the recruitment industry

Recruitment in blue and gray collar industries is broken. Countless unqualified applications, low success rates and a persistent skills shortage make traditional recruiting methods inefficient. But what if hiring professionals in these industries worked as smoothly as finding jobs for white-collar professions on LinkedIn?

In an exciting conversation with Gonzalo Pérez on the What's In Store Show, WorkerHero founder Richard Fischer explains how we redefined recruiting, achieved €1 million in sales in just six months and successfully turned things around after a sudden 50-60% drop in sales.

The most important findings from the interview

1. AI-supported recruitment - an end to unqualified applications

Traditional job boards flood companies with hundreds of applications - but how many of them really fit? WorkerHero's AI-supported pre-selection filters out unsuitable candidates in advance. The result: only the right specialists end up in the interview process.

2. 10 times higher hiring success rate

Job boards achieve an average success rate of 2 %. WorkerHero achieves 20% - a tenfold improvement. Through precise matching based on qualifications, experience and availability, we not only solve staff shortages, but also make the entire process more efficient.

3. international placement & relocation support

The shortage of skilled workers remains a challenge. WorkerHero not only places workers locally, but also facilitates cross-border recruitment and relocation, making it easier for companies to attract qualified workers from abroad.

4. from a slump in sales to expansion in Europe

Scaling means not only growth, but also resilience. Losing over half of our revenue overnight could have meant the end of WorkerHero. Instead, we have optimized and strengthened our model - and are now expanding across Europe.
