Head of Talent Acquisition

At Vicoland, we give the professional services market a new dimension: Virtual Companies, in short: “Vicos”. We invented Vicos to allow freelancers to team up and act as if they were a real company, competing successfully for interesting, large SAP projects.

Our SaaS platform provides all the tech which enables the collaboration of Vicos and their clients plus a marketplace that matches them together.

Our Vicos are already transforming how digital projects are done - since our launch 1.5 years ago, we won project for several world-renowned clients and partners such as Netflix, Tupperware, the German Federal Government, Smart or Colliers. We were mentioned by Forbes and Forrester as the leading marketplace for freelance teams and are an official partner of SAP.

There are already over 600 Vicos on our platform, uniting thousands of freelancers. Our central team, to which you would belong, has 40 members and is located across Europe, expanding to the US. Our headquarters are in Frankfurt/Main.
