JOB TODAY is a fast-growing technology company and Europe's leading mobile jobs marketplace.

  • JOB TODAY, Europe’s fast-growing mobile jobs marketplace processed 35 million job applications since its launch in May 2015.
  • With a new $35M deal, the company solidifies its media footprint with the leading broadcasters in the UK, Germany, and Spain.

JOB TODAY is a fast-growing technology company and Europe's leading mobile jobs marketplace. The company has made a bet on digitizing recruitment with its mobile-first approach, doing away with clunky CVs, and introducing a built-in messaging platform to make communication between employers and applicants more immediate. In the short time since launch in 2015, JOB TODAY attracted two hundred thousand employers, processed 35 million job applications, and brought on board world-class investors.

The company today announces a $35 million gross media deal with Europe’s major broadcasters represented by RTL Germany, German Media Pool, and Atresmedia. RTL Group owns RTL Germany and holds a strategic minority shareholding in Atresmedia. With interests in 60 television channels and 31 radio stations, RTL Group reaches audiences around the world and owns stakes in TV channels and radio stations in Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Spain, Hungary, Croatia and South East Asia.

This new partnership builds on a successful earlier investment in JOB TODAY by Atresmedia in Spain, as well as an investment by Channel 4 (UK).

“Finding a job is a vital necessity for millions of youths and general population all across Europe. It’s about time we leverage technology to solve a very human problem”, says Polina Montano, COO of the company. “We’re disrupting a $270 billion global blue collar recruitment market, most of which is still offline, and the incumbents simply cannot respond quickly enough.”

Over one million job applications are submitted to local employers via the company’s apps every single week. Company’s mobile apps have become popular with small businesses such as restaurants and shops; the service has also attracted some of the biggest brands including McDonald's, EAT, Pizza Express, Holiday Inn and Benefit Cosmetics. With support from the leading broadcasters in the UK, Germany, and Spain, JOB TODAY is in a unique position to accelerate its Pan-European growth.

“We're making progress towards our dream: build a place where 100 million people come every single day to make their lives better,” says Eugene Mizin, company co-founder and CEO.

JOB TODAY has previously raised a total of $30 million from Accel Partners, Mangrove Capital, Flint Capital, and others.
