Brno's talent pool is concentrated in IT, engineering, and manufacturing—sectors that draw both domestic migration from Prague and international talent seeking lower cost-of-living than the capital. Secondary-city dynamics mean faster decision cycles but tighter candidate pipelines for specialized roles. Salary expectations run 15–25% below Prague, yet competition for senior engineers and product managers remains intense. Time-to-hire averages 35–45 days for mid-level technical roles, longer for leadership positions. Raffi helps Brno-based hiring teams move faster by automating initial interviews with candidates who actively apply through your job posts. Rather than manually screening applications or relying on recruiter availability, an agentic AI recruiter handles first-pass qualification, leaving your team to focus on final conversations with vetted prospects. This is particularly valuable in Brno's lean hiring environment, where recruiting support is often shared across multiple teams. Raffi connects to Workable (the dominant ATS in Czech hiring) and Google Calendar, so you can integrate structured screening into existing workflows without process disruption. For roles in software development, automation engineering, and manufacturing operations—Brno's core hiring categories—faster pipeline velocity translates directly to filled seats before talent moves to Prague or abroad.

Brno's 2026 hiring market tilts toward embedded systems, industrial automation, and cloud infrastructure roles. IT remains tight; mid-to-senior engineering talent continues to field multiple offers. Manufacturing engineering is cooling slightly as production capacity flattens post-expansion cycles. Time-to-hire for technical roles: 40–50 days. Non-technical administrative and logistics roles fill faster (20–30 days) but attract lower application volume. Remote-first policies are now standard among mid-sized tech firms; hybrid is common in manufacturing. Talent supply remains constrained—skilled candidates have low unemployment and multiple options. Czech tech migration toward Brno has plateaued; expect steady, not accelerating, inbound from Prague. Salary growth is modest (3–5% YoY for experienced hires).
Hiring in Brno demands fluency in Czech language for non-technical roles; most engineers speak English, but culture fit and communication with operations teams often require local language support. Remote work is normalized but commute patterns matter—candidates within 30 minutes by car or public transit (tram, bus) have higher acceptance rates. Salary expectations are firm but below Prague: senior engineers expect CZK 120–180k/month; mid-level, 80–120k. The top sectors—IT services, automotive suppliers, machinery manufacturing—have overlapping talent pools, so competition for engineers is direct. Brno's ecosystem favors companies with transparent equity or stock options; Prague-style prestige carries less weight here.
Yes. Raffi operates in 30+ languages and supports candidate calls in any timezone via self-booking — there's no per-city integration. If you can post a role from Brno, you can run Raffi from Brno.
Raffi is calibrated against the major AI-in-hiring frameworks (EU AI Act + NYC Local Law 144) and discloses AI use to every candidate before the call. For Brno-specific work permits and right-to-work checks, those happen outside Raffi — we screen, you verify eligibility before extending an offer.
Technical and engineering roles are predominantly English-speaking, especially in IT and manufacturing. For customer-facing, HR, or operations roles, Czech fluency is expected. Most mid-sized employers in Brno operate in English internally but value local language skills for teams that interact with local operations or suppliers.
Mid-level developers: CZK 80–120k/month. Senior engineers: CZK 120–180k/month. Brno runs 15–25% lower than Prague for equivalent roles. Equity and benefits (healthcare, gym, education budget) are common differentiators, especially at scale-up and multinational firms.
Technical roles: 35–50 days from post to offer. Admin and support roles: 20–30 days. Candidate volume is lower than Prague, so pipeline depth matters. Using an agentic AI recruiter to handle screening can compress timelines by 1–2 weeks by automating first-pass qualification.
Agentic recruiting is recruiting done by an AI agent that takes action on your behalf — not a chatbot or résumé summarizer. Raffi calls every applicant for a structured 10-15 minute interview, scores them against your rubric, and hands you a ranked top 3-5. The work happens autonomously.
Most agencies charge 15-25% of first-year salary as a placement fee — a $90k hire runs $13-22k. Raffi is SaaS at $199-599/mo plus per-action credits, typically landing under $10k/year for a team hiring 12 people. Same shortlist quality, no placement contract.
