Why Scout

Job hunting in Europe
without the games.

No "competitive salary," no recruiters that ghost, no profiles that get scraped and sold. Scout exists for one reason: to put you on the shortest path between your CV and a job offer that actually fits.

See the salary before you apply.

Every Scout employer must publish a salary range. Filter to your number, and you only see roles you would actually take. No competitive anything.

Prove you're real, once.

Verify your identity with a passport or ID card and a short video selfie. Every application you send carries the tick - and employers can filter to verified candidates only.

🇪🇺

Search across all of Europe.

Berlin, Amsterdam, Dublin, and Lisbon - in one query. Filter by language, salary, work mode and visa support across 27 countries simultaneously.

One profile, every job.

Build your Scout profile once. Apply with a single click - no more uploading your CV into 50 different employer portals. Track everything in one place.

💬

Talk to real recruiters.

Direct messaging with hiring teams. No agency middlemen, no "great opportunity" copy-paste. If a role is on Scout, the hiring manager reads your message themselves.

🔒

You own your data.

Your profile is private until you apply. We never sell your data, never spam your inbox, and you can hide your profile from your current employer with one click. GDPR-native by design.

How it works

From sign-up to signed offer.

Steps 1 and 2 take just a few minutes. The rest is browsing roles you'd actually want.

01
~2 MIN

Build your profile

Add your experience, salary expectations, languages and EU work rights. Upload your CV - Scout fills the rest in for you.

02
~3 MIN

Verify yourself

Quick passport + selfie liveness check. Verify your identity once - the tick shows on every application, and you never have to re-prove you are real.

03
DAILY

Search & apply

Browse roles that match your filters. One-click apply with your Scout profile - no copy-pasting, no per-employer accounts.

04
DIRECT

Chat & interview

Hiring teams message you directly on Scout. Track applications, schedule interviews and receive offers - all in one inbox.

Identity verification

Prove you're real once. Forever.

Most platforms let anyone claim anything - recruiters treat every unknown profile as a maybe-fake. Scout verifies your identity: photograph your passport or ID card, take a short video selfie, and our verification partner authenticates the document, matches your face and confirms you're live. About two minutes, once, and the tick is yours.

  • Your work rights, declared once. Tell employers where you can work - your declaration travels with every application, always clearly labelled as yours.
  • Blue Card support. Already on a Blue Card? Scout surfaces every employer who accepts Blue Card holders - no manual filtering.
  • Sponsorship filter. Need visa sponsorship? Toggle one filter and you will only see employers who openly sponsor.
  • Verified badge on every application. Employers see "Identity verified" the moment they open your profile - and they can filter to verified candidates only. Be on that list.

Why Scout

Built by people who hate job hunting too.

Apply with one Scout profile — no re-uploading your CV to every employer, no per-company accounts. Send several applications in an evening.

1
Profile-based applying

Every role shows its salary before you apply, and your declared EU work rights filter out jobs you are not eligible for — so you spend time only on roles you can actually get.

2
No guesswork

Filter for sponsorship-friendly and Blue-Card-eligible roles up front, so a visa requirement never surprises you at the final stage.

3
Built for moving across Europe
🛡

GDPR by design.

Your data lives in EU data centres. We never sell candidate data, never share with third-party recruiters, and never run trackers on your behaviour.

Download or delete your data at any time - one click, no questions, instant action.

Your data, your rules

No recruiter spam.
No surprises.

Most job platforms sell your CV to agencies, surface you to recruiters you have never opted into, or quietly let employers see when you are job-hunting. Scout does not do any of that.

  • Your profile is private until you apply
  • Hide your profile from your current employer
  • Block individual companies from seeing you exist
  • Export or delete your data with one click
  • Zero ads. Zero third-party trackers. Ever.
FAQ

Things candidates always ask.

Is Scout really free for candidates?+

Yes - completely free, forever. Employers pay when they hire. You never see ads, we never charge premium tiers, and we don't sell your data. The candidate side of Scout has no paid features at all.

How does identity verification actually work?+

Photograph your passport or ID card and take a short video selfie, once. Our verification partner (Veriff) authenticates the document, matches the selfie against it, and runs a liveness check to confirm a real person is behind the profile. Most checks complete in minutes, and your profile then carries the verified tick. Work rights are separate: you declare them yourself, and they are always shown to employers as self-declared.

Why can I see salaries upfront?+

We require every employer to publish a transparent salary range when they post a job. Filter to your number and you only see roles that match. (Some employers hide the range from public view but still use it to filter - you'll only see those if your expected salary falls inside their range.)

Can I search across multiple countries at once?+

Yes. Search Berlin, Amsterdam, and Dublin in a single query. You can filter by language, work type (on-site/hybrid/remote), and visa support across all 27 EU countries simultaneously. Save the combination and get a daily email digest of new matching roles.

Will employers see my profile before I apply?+

No. Your profile is private until you choose to apply. You control which employers see your details, and you can hide your profile from your current employer with one toggle. You can also block specific companies from ever seeing your profile.

What if I'm not in the EU yet but want to relocate?+

Scout is fully built for non-EU candidates. Toggle "I need visa sponsorship" and you'll only see roles from employers who openly sponsor (Blue Card, ICT, national work permits). Many Scout employers offer relocation packages - they're tagged on the role.

How is Scout different from LinkedIn or Indeed?+

Three big differences: (1) Every role has a salary range - no "competitive." (2) Candidates verify their identity (document + selfie + liveness), so the tick separates real people from fake profiles. (3) Scout is EU-native - identity verification, self-declared work-rights filters, language filters, and 27-country search are first-class, not bolted on.

What happens to my data if I delete my account?+

Click delete and your profile, CV, verification documents and application history are erased within 30 days from primary systems and 90 days from backups. You'll get an email confirmation when erasure is complete. You can export everything as a single JSON + PDF bundle before deletion if you want a copy.
