Question 1

What is Virkla?

Accepted Answer

Virkla is a hiring platform for recruiters and hiring managers who need to publish roles quickly, evaluate candidates consistently, and keep decision-making transparent. It combines job posting, pipeline management, AI-assisted matching, anti-bias checks, interview collaboration, and reporting in one workflow so teams can reduce manual coordination and hire with more confidence.

Question 2

How do I post a job on Virkla?

Accepted Answer

Create or select a role template, fill in the job details (title, requirements, location, and hiring team), set interview stages, and publish through your selected channels. Recruiters can then track applicants in a structured pipeline with clear stage ownership, status history, and shared feedback, so progress is visible without spreadsheet handoffs.

Question 3

What is included in each Virkla pricing plan?

Accepted Answer

All paid plans include the full core feature set: job management, anti-bias screening, AI matching and scoring, interview scheduling, collaboration features, and analytics. Plan differences are based on active job limits, seat counts, and support level — not feature access.

Question 4

How does Virkla's candidate matching system work?

Accepted Answer

The system compares role requirements with candidate profile signals such as skills, relevant experience, and role fit indicators, then prioritises candidates to support recruiter review. Matching is designed to help teams focus first on relevant applicants while keeping human decision-making in control. Recruiters can filter, re-prioritise, and validate recommendations before moving candidates forward.

Question 5

Is Virkla GDPR compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Virkla uses role-based access controls, encrypted data handling, and governed workflow visibility to protect employer and candidate information. Teams can limit access by role, maintain clear activity history, and operate with GDPR-aware processes for data handling, storage, and review.

Question 6

Where can I track applications and hiring performance in Virkla?

Accepted Answer

Use the employer dashboard to monitor candidate flow by stage, conversion rates, stage aging, and team activity in one place. Recruiters can quickly identify bottlenecks, while hiring managers get a shared view of pending decisions — making weekly hiring reviews faster and more data-driven.

Question 7

How long does Virkla implementation take?

Accepted Answer

Most teams run their first live hiring process within one to two days of account setup. Full configuration — including custom pipeline stages, evaluation templates, team permissions, and integrations — typically takes one to two weeks. Enterprise deployments with SSO and multi-team rollout include a structured onboarding programme with dedicated support.

Question 8

Can we trial Virkla before committing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Virkla offers a structured pilot programme for teams that want to evaluate the platform on a live hiring process before committing to a plan. Pilots are supported by the sales team and designed to give a realistic view of the platform's impact. Book a demo via the pricing page or email sales@virkla.de.

Question 9

What integrations does Virkla support?

Accepted Answer

Virkla connects to Cal.com, Calendly, and Google Calendar for interview scheduling, with in-app video and team notes in the hiring workspace. When a candidate is hired, their data can export to your HRIS (such as Personio, HiBob, or DATEV) or to Excel via CSV or webhook. See the Help Center for the current integration list.

Question 10

Does Virkla use customer or candidate data to train AI models?

Accepted Answer

No. Virkla does not use employer or candidate data to train or fine-tune its AI models. AI scoring models are trained on publicly available labour market data and curated role-competency frameworks — not on your candidates' CVs or your company's hiring history. Customer data is never used to improve models for other customers.
