    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?”
