Jooble

Review:

Jooble is a job aggregator that scours thousands of websites, including job boards, career portals, and company websites, to create a centralized database of vacancies across 67 countries. Equipped with applicant tracking tools and segmentation, Jooble provides great visibility for employers looking to attract skilled candidates faster.

While the platform can provide employers with invoicing, basic segmentation, and traffic tracking, all of Jooble's features can only be accessed via sponsored posts. Despite the platform providing a cost-free alternative to cater to those on a tight budget, it does lack extensive employer branding and a resume database, features offered by Indeed.

Pros:

• Jooble features job ads from 67 countries.
• The site is available in 29 languages.
• The Premium plans include access to job ad analytics, and employers can manage the flow of candidates.
• Job seekers that match job descriptions receive job alerts.
• Employers can purchase a sponsored plan to have their ads appear at the top of search results.
• The platform states that they receive 90 million visits from potential candidates per month.
• Job ads are auto-renewed and bumped to the top of searches four times a day to increase visibility.
• Employers can set daily limits and post or remove job ads whenever they want with the sponsored plans.
• Jooble integrates with a range of applicant tracking systems, and the Premium plan includes basic tracking features.

Cons:

• There is little assistance with hiring, such as prescreening questions and the ability to invite candidates to apply.
• Only legal entities or private entrepreneurs can advertise jobs on Jooble.
• Employers can't post directly to Jooble's website.
• Unlike its competitors, Jooble lacks social media sharing and resume database access.
• Multiple employers have complained about the site advertising outdated or false vacancies.
• Employers won't receive candidates' responses to job ads if they used an ATS to post vacancies.
• With the sponsored plans, job ads must be moderated and approved before publishing on the site.
• All features, including applicant tracking, auto-renewal, and segmentation, are only available with the sponsored plans.
• Employers posting multiple vacancies or via a multi-country website must purchase the Premium Advanced plan.

Reputation:

Jooble has more than 800 reviews on Trustpilot and has a 1.5-star rating. Many of the 5-star reviews were posted within days of each other, but they noted that the service was helpful and affordable.

However, negative reviews state that customer service and functionality on the site need improvement. Additionally, multiple employers who have signed up for the service have complained about excessive spam emails, with some employers receiving daily job alerts despite not opening job seeker accounts.

Jooble vs. Indeed:

Indeed is one of the largest online job boards and, similar to Jooble, offers both free and sponsored job posts. With both platforms, employers can choose how much they want to spend on sponsored posts. That said, Indeed's pricing starts at $ per day, whereas Jooble's Premium plans start at $200.00 per post.

Jooble vs. LinkedIn:

LinkedIn differs from Jooble in that it is not a job aggregator; businesses post job vacancies directly to LinkedIn. Users have complained that Jooble features expired posts, and employers are inundated with applications for a position that has been filled. LinkedIn gives employers more control over job advertisements.

Jooble vs. Monster:

Monster is an international job board and aggregator that offers a variety of affordable plans. Unlike Jooble, Monster shares job posts on social media and offers email campaigns. Both job boards are globally recognized, reaching millions of job seekers. Jooble's sponsored ads start at $200.00 per post, while Monster's start at $12.00 per day.
