Company research
Public company, workplace, funding, and market signals
Overview
PowerUs is a Berlin-based HRtech/job marketplace for skilled blue-collar and craft workers in Germany. It matches workers with permanent jobs, lets candidates stay anonymous until they apply, and gives employers recruiting tools and access to a specialized talent pool. Public sources found the official website, careers/FAQ/pricing/blog pages, LinkedIn company page, and founders' LinkedIn profiles; I did not find a public official GitHub or X account.
