200 Companies Hiring in the EU (Free List - Updated Monthly)
April 15, 2026
People spend too much time applying to jobs these days.
Hundreds of applications. Maybe thousands. And only a handful of interviews. Search “English jobs Germany” on LinkedIn, hit Easy Apply, and wait. Again and again, but nothing. They are competing with thousands of other people doing the exact same thing, for the same posts, in the same manner.
What they don’t have is a starting point. A real one. Not a job board with all the listings, fake or real. Not to mention no filter for “responds to non-German speakers”. We’re talking about a curated, specific list of companies that are known to operate in English. Known to hire internationally, and worth your time with one-click links either to their direct jobs from their website or LinkedIn page.
That’s one of the things I work on keeping clean over time and I send it for free.
It’s a PDF of 200+ companies currently hiring in English across Europe, with a focus on Germany. I update it every month.
It includes:
This is not a job board. It’s a target list.
Use it to research companies, find the hiring managers behind the roles, and reach out directly, which is the method that works in Germany and the European job market right now.
When you sign up, you also get access to my weekly newsletter where I share what’s working for my clients right now: templates, interview tips, visa updates, and honest takes on the job market in various EU countries. Just what I’m seeing on the ground and coaching immigrants through every week.
It saves you a lot of time rather than searching the complete job boards for which posts have that fateful line about language requirement.
In Germany, and across much of Europe, a significant portion of hiring happens through direct outreach and personal connections, before a job is ever posted publicly. If you’re only working from job boards, you’re seeing a fraction of what’s available and competing in the most crowded lane. Not to mention being subject to Ghost Posts.
A company list changes how you approach the search entirely. Instead of searching for an English job post, you identify 20 or 30 companies you’re genuinely interested in based on industry, research who runs the department you’d want to work in, and reach out with something specific and relevant. That’s the approach I teach inside the Expats Job Miracle program, and it’s what gets my clients interviews faster than cold applications.
The list gives you a significant number of company ideas that are already vetted to hire internationals, not only limiting themselves to locals. Just move down the list and see what jobs are available in the links. Happy hunting.
If you’re seriously thinking about making a move to Europe, this year or in the next year, this list is worth reading now.
It’s useful if:
It’s also useful if you’re already in Europe on a visa with limited time left. Because targeting the right companies, early, matters a lot when you’re working with a deadline.
This list is useful if you are:
It’s also useful if you’re early in the process and want to understand:
It’s competitive.
Job openings in Germany have been declining since spring 2025 according to the Arbeitsagentur, and at the same time the number of people applying has gone up partly because AI tools make it easier than ever to fire off applications at scale. What that means in practice is that cold applications are getting even harder to land, and the candidates who are getting interviews are the ones doing something different.
More competition for fewer postings is actually a reason to use a list like this more aggressively, not less. When everyone else is swimming in the same pool, you find a different pool.
Sign up below with your email and I’ll send it to you immediately.
You’ll also be added to my weekly newsletter. It goes out once a week, and it covers what I’m seeing in the German and European job market right now, including which industries are actively hiring, visa changes worth knowing about, and tactical tips from inside the Expats Job Miracle program. You can unsubscribe at any time and it’s completely free.
Is the list fully free? Yes. You sign up with your email, I send it immediately, and you get added to the weekly newsletter. No payments.
Which countries are included? The list focuses on Germany but includes companies in the Netherlands, Sweden, Ireland, Malta, and other active markets for English-speaking roles in Europe.
Does the list include visa sponsorship information? Not all of these companies explicitly say that they sponsor visas. All the more reason to reach out to a real person at the firm and clarify that. I note which companies are known to support relocation or international hires. That said, visa policies change. Better to always confirm directly with the company.
How is this list different than a job board? Job boards show you open positions. This list shows you companies. The idea is to use it for direct access to the right companies and jobs, then finding the hiring manager, not just the job posting. That’s a different strategy. And in the European market, it’s a more effective one.
I’m still in the US / Canada. Is it too early to use this? No. If anything, the earlier the better. Understanding which companies are active in Europe, which industries are growing, and where you’d realistically fit is research that takes time. This list will get you rolling.
What is the Expats Job Miracle program? It’s our full-service coaching program for expats and immigrants targeting jobs in Germany and the EU. It’s a 4-month engagement where I work 1-on-1 with you, reach out to hiring managers on your behalf every week, and guide you through the whole process to a wonderful job offer. You can learn more about it here.
