Recruitment & HR web development in Cologne: FAQs

How much does a recruitment & hr website cost in Cologne?+

In Cologne, a business website typically costs €5,000 – €20,000, while a custom web app runs €20,000 – €120,000. Agency day rates of EUR 75-150/hr are the main driver, followed by integrations and how much custom functionality you need. Tecklogist quotes recruitment & hr projects from from €799 at a fixed price.

How long does it take to build a recruitment & hr website?+

A business website usually takes 3–6 weeks; a custom web app takes 8–20 weeks. Delays almost always come from late content, unclear scope or third-party integrations, so agree those before work starts.

Which platform is best for recruitment & hr websites?+

The usual options are WordPress + job board plugin, Bullhorn / JobAdder website integration, Webflow + Zapier/API automation and Custom platform. The right one depends on how often your team edits content, which systems the site must connect to and your budget, so be wary of any Cologne agency that recommends the same platform for every client.

What should I ask a recruitment & hr web developer in Cologne before hiring?+

Ask about a searchable, filterable job board integrated with the agency's applicant tracking system (ATS), not a static list requiring manual updates; a clear, low-friction application flow; separate, distinct content tracks for candidates and client employers, since they have entirely different needs from the same site. Then ask for two or three live recruitment & hr websites they built, who will actually work on yours, and what support looks like after launch.

Why is Tecklogist ranked first on this list?+

This list is published by Tecklogist, and we rank ourselves first because recruitment & hr websites are core work for us: fixed prices, fixed timelines and code you own. The other Cologne agencies are ordered by the recruitment & hr evidence in their public profiles, and none of them pay to appear.
