The DACH market
The DACH countries have large hotel and travel markets with many independent and family-run properties, which makes them an important territory for hotel software, distribution and payments vendors. Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Vienna and Zurich are the main technology hubs, and many customer-facing roles cover the region remotely.
We recruit across travel tech and hospitality tech, for sales, customer success, engineering and product and leadership roles.
What to plan for when hiring in DACH
Hiring here differs from the UK and the US in a few ways:
- Customer-facing roles usually need fluent German; we confirm language level early.
- Notice periods of three months are common, and some contracts run to the end of a quarter, so plan start dates accordingly.
- Larger employers may have works councils that take part in some employment decisions.
- Pay and benefits expectations vary between Germany, Austria and Switzerland, so offers should be set per country.
How we run a DACH search
Every search runs on our eight-stage process with one named recruiter from brief to start date. Across our engagements the average from briefing call to accepted offer is 33 days on a contingent search, 26 on an exclusive Partner search and 19 with a Dedicated team (how the tiers compare).
