𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 - 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 - 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝, 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭? ⚖ ServiceHunter AG - quitt, a standout startup at this years #bits24 reveals a rather overlooked fact: an estimated 3.9 million domestic helpers and nannies work without proper registration or legal protections. What’s more, with available tax benefits, official employment isn’t even more expensive. 💸 Looking ahead, as Germany’s population ages, and demand for pensioner care workers/domestic helpers might continue to rise, legal protection should not be forgotten. To address this, ServiceHunter AG - quitt is on a mission to simplify the registration and administration process, making it easier for households to legalize and protect private employment. We’re excited to welcome Switzerland’s award winning app startup of 2023 attending #bits24. 🥨

✋ Bits is 6 weeks away, but connecting starts now: Our App is live. Our credo at Bits is: Networks aren't built on a screen. But to be honest, sometimes they are (at least the foundations). 🤝 82 % of last year's attendees arranged meetings beforehand via app.   🤝 9,354 meetings have been scheduled via app before the event. Due to this popular demand, we've decided to launch our app earlier than ever before. From today on, all ticket holders for #Bits24 are able to download the app, using features like screening all attendees, startups & investors and reaching out to them directly via chat, e.g. to arrange meetings. Have you used an event app?
