First we check whether the role can be filled at all. Then we build the system inside your company, fill the role with a guarantee on the hire – and hand it over. The last step is the one no agency takes.
Book a no-obligation callThe market is swept empty – but the real loss happens later. A large share of interested people drop off between the ad click and a submitted application. Not because too few are looking, but because nothing on the way to you builds trust: some never reach out, others apply and then vanish. You paid for both. Both are gone. That is exactly the gap we close – and we guarantee the hire.
Good service technicians choose which company they travel for – and a large share of career changers are gone again within the first year. Volume gets you nowhere if no one is left after twelve months. We pre-filter for commitment, not click counts.
Technicians who start and stay – not the next applicant conveyor belt.
A skilled position in German mechanical engineering stays open 106 days at the median (own analysis, 23,707 Federal Agency postings, 2026). After roughly 120 days of vacancy, the cost exceeds a full annual gross salary – calculated at a factor of three, the midpoint of the common range of two to four. The machinists are out there – they simply do not apply to companies whose machine park, shift model and allowance appear nowhere.
Filled roles instead of vacancy costs – with a hiring guarantee.
Machine tools, packaging technology or refrigeration and HVAC service: this fills the role and stays with you afterwards, not with an agency. Every module carries a line an agency cannot write – what belongs to you afterwards.
Not a full inbox, but someone who starts. We measure success in hires, not clicks or applicant counts.
If the role stays open, we keep working at no further agency fee until it is filled. Only for roles we judge fillable up front.
Page, funnel, automation and all applicant data are yours afterwards. When our placement phase ends, the system stays put.
AI filters before the interview. Only fitting candidates reach you – your time does not go on rejections.
Auto-confirmation instantly, a personal reply the same day. Whoever calls back on Monday has already lost the candidate.
Your business shows up – in search and when candidates ask ChatGPT and the like. Until applications increasingly arrive on their own.
Illustrative, from 100 people who see your job ad. Every stage where the page falls short costs you applications – long before anyone ever talks to you.
Same ad budget. A filled role, not an empty inbox. The difference is the path – and from day one it belongs to you.
First we honestly check whether your role is fillable. If it is not, we tell you – before any money moves. We put the criteria and what "fitting" means in writing.
We build the careers page, application flow and AI pre-qualification. Mobile-first, fast, calm. All of it is yours afterwards.
The campaign runs, the AI pre-qualifies. Only fitting candidates reach the interview – you interview instead of sorting.
If the role stays open, we keep working at no further agency fee. Your ad budget runs on your side, not ours.
Our placement phase ends, your system stays. No platform you rent. No access we could ever switch off.
Three reads on candidates, careers pages and recruiting 2026.
Put your name down. As soon as a slot opens in your area we will come back to you – with an assessment, not a pitch.
What happens next
A systems builder, not an agency
Blacklyne is not a recruiter, not a retainer agency and not a staffing firm. We build the hiring system once inside your company and hand it over with accounts, templates and everything documented in writing. From handover on you hire on your own – no fee per head, no monthly retainer, and no us.
What ends at handover
What stays – inside your company
Your ad budget keeps running through your own accounts, paid straight to the platform. Nothing flows to us from day one – that is the difference, not the campaign.
