Tips for Writing Effective Queries

The quality of Orbit’s answers improves with the quality of your questions. Here’s how to get the most out of it:
 

Be Specific

Instead of:

“Can I hire in Germany?”

Try:

“Can I hire a full-time software engineer in Germany, and what are the key employment requirements?”

Adding role type, seniority, or employment model helps Orbit give more relevant answers.

Ask Follow-Up Questions

Orbit is conversational. If an answer feels high-level:

• Ask Orbit to expand
• Request examples
• Ask how rules apply to your specific scenario

For example:

“Can you break this down by mandatory vs optional benefits?”
 

Test Real Scenarios

Orbit works best when you use real situations you’re facing:

• Countries you’re actively hiring in
• Roles you’re planning to fill
• Employment models you’re considering
   

Clarify Assumptions

If you’re unsure whether an answer applies to your situation, ask:

“Does this apply to startups?”
“Is this different for contractors?”
“What are the common mistakes companies make here?”
