25 new English-workable roles in Cologne in the last seven days

That is how many of the 176 English-workable roles open at a Cologne desk right now first appeared in the last seven days, across 42 companies. Everything below is counted over those roles, Cologne desks only, so remote roles are left out and the numbers sit a little under the headline above.

Counted 11 October 2026, 23:47 UTC from our own tracking bank, recounted every hour. Only roles we hold with a full job description, because that is the only kind whose language we can check.

Student and entry-level roles in English

4 of the English-workable roles in Cologne say in the title that they are for students or people early in their career.

• 3
  Working student

  titles that say junior, graduate or entry level

Counted from what the title says, never guessed. A role that does not state its level in the title is not counted here, so each number is a floor.

How much of Cologne needs German

Of the 1,568 ads at a Cologne desk we hold in full, 1,392 (89%) are written in German or ask for a language besides English. 689 (44%) name German as a hard requirement outright. English is confirmed to be enough on 176 (11%).

These are the ads we track in Cologne, not every ad there, and only the ones whose full text we hold. A title alone does not say what language the job runs in. The hard-requirement count is the ads where our language check found German demanded in the text itself.

Most job sites in Cologne are built to make you apply to everything.

WerkHunt reads every role in Cologne against your real profile, in the languages you actually speak, and tells you which few are worth applying to, and which to skip. Ghost jobs flagged, language walls flagged, work-authorization gaps flagged. For your side of the table, not the employer's.
