Whyapply reports revenue growth

The HR start-up has apparently doubled its revenue every year in recent years, defying the Corona crisis.

Leipzig-based HR start-up Whyapply has doubled its revenue every year since its founding, according to its own figures. The company writes this in a blog post on the occasion of its fifth anniversary.

Marketing manager Maria Fritzsch writes there, "Despite the corona-related hiring freezes imposed in many companies, we have been able to double our turnover every year anew." However, it did not reveal how high the start-up's turnover currently is.

Whyapply was founded in 2017 by Michael Benz and Ronald Scholz. According to their own statements, the team started in a co-working space in Leipzig, from which it quickly outgrew. In the meantime, the start-up has its own offices and, according to its own information, has been able to reach 200 companies and 17 million employees as customers. These officially include BMW, Hermes and Freenet, among others.

The company offers content about jobs as well as job ads from employers and opportunities to try out jobs, so to speak. Employees willing to change jobs can take tests of about half an hour, which employers have set up beforehand. This is done anonymously at first. If there is then a match on both sides, employees and employers would find together.
