Über uns
Eine Brücke zwischen Erfahrung und Bedarf.
GreyMatter ist mehr als eine Jobplattform. Wir sind überzeugt, dass unser bisheriges Bild der Arbeitswelt nicht mehr zeitgemäß ist.
About Us
We believe that our traditional view of the working world is no longer up to date. GreyMatter connects experienced people with companies that are looking for exactly this experience – flexible, self-determined, and on equal footing.
For people who want to stay active and integrated, or who simply want or need to earn some extra income.
For companies that value responsibility, quality, and reliability.
Who We Are
GreyMatter is more than a job platform. We are a bridge between experience and demand.
We believe in:
- Dignity instead of age stereotypes
- Competence instead of resume filters
- Clarity instead of digital overload
- Flexibility instead of rigid role models
- Jobs as a social interaction platform
Our platform is intentionally simple – accessible, calm, and trustworthy. Nevertheless, we hope to answer all your questions and support you in the best possible way.
Why GreyMatter?
Because millions of people over 60 want to work – but the job market doesn't address them and existing tools don't properly integrate this growing, highly competent, and reliable group.
And because companies urgently need experience – but have no access to it.
GreyMatter solves exactly this problem.
Our Mission
We enable older people to participate actively and self-determinedly in working life - and give companies access to experience that makes the difference.
Our Vision
A working world where age is not an obstacle, but an advantage or simply irrelevant.

How we can help you as a job seeker:
- 1.Are you looking for a flexible activity in your professional field or simply in the area of your hobbies or other skills? Here you will find numerous full-time, part-time, and casual jobs that match your skills, life situation, and wishes. Unlike general job portals, we offer tailored solutions that are especially suited to older people. Click here for more information.
- 2.Are you looking for inspiration for jobs that could be fun in your later years? In addition to hobby activities, you will also find flexible solutions in your previous professional field that differ from the '40-hour office week'. We are convinced that your experience and expertise are particularly valuable. That's why you'll find coaching jobs here, for example, through which you can pass on your knowledge especially to younger people in your field; often very flexible in terms of time and fitting your current life situation. Click here for more information.
- 3.Are you looking for social contact and enjoy being needed and helping people? People need social contacts and must feel integrated and challenged to actively counteract aging. Even though loneliness is unfortunately still a taboo subject, many people are affected by it, especially in old age. It is medically proven that being alone promotes mental and physical illnesses. Therefore, you will find people here who are looking for your skills and are happy when you contribute them and stay fit through them. We believe that both sides benefit from this and want to help bring you together and remove the first communication barrier. Click here for more information.
- 4.Do you want or need to earn extra money in your later years? Many people want or need to earn extra money in their later years, whether to pay rent or living costs or to finance an additional luxury. You will also find suitable offers for this here and can find the right job through a transparent search. Since 2023, the legislator has allowed additional income in most cases that is not offset against the pension. Click here for more information.
Are you a company, freelancer, or private individual looking for support? Here's how we can help:
- 1.Are you looking for flexible support for a one-time or time-flexible activity? Older people often look for project-based employment, part-time work, or on-call based on mutual availability. Younger employees often don't offer this flexibility. Click here for more information.
- 2.Selective booking of experience knowledge for younger colleagues. Older professionals have a lifetime of experience, have encountered and mastered numerous problems or difficult situations. Older people are particularly happy to share this experiential knowledge and often enrich your young team – whether as a coach, "firefighter", or for outsourcing difficult topics. Click here for more information.
- 3.Are you looking for skilled workers and finding that young applicants are not sufficiently qualified? Both training and academic positions can often no longer be filled by young workers. Many older people can fill this gap and are (completely unjustly) only in limited demand on the job market. Especially in tandem with young untrained workers or out of a personal desire to extend their working life (usually temporarily), older employees or freelancers are often the solution for your position. Click here for more information.
- 4.Do you need support in everyday life? Many older people would be happy to help you professionally or privately in everyday life – whether for extra income or simply to be socially integrated and needed. Older people often enjoy taking on exactly those (often time-intensive) tasks that you don't have time for. From dog sitting, to club work, training, to manual tasks, errands, gardening, or childcare. Click here for more information.

Mission
Putting experience back in motion.
We enable older people to participate in working life actively and self-determinedly - and give companies access to experience that makes the difference.
A world of work without age limits.
A world of work where age is not a barrier, but an advantage - or simply irrelevant.
Why GreyMatter
We solve a concrete problem.
Millions of people over 60 want to work — but the labour market doesn't address them. Existing tools don't properly integrate this growing, highly competent and reliable group.
Companies need experience — but have no access to it. Demographic change is intensifying the skills shortage. GreyMatter is the bridge.
