What Job Today does

Job Today (JobToday S.A.) is a Luxembourg-incorporated, mobile-first two-sided job marketplace founded in 2015 that connects hourly job seekers with employers, primarily in food service, retail, healthcare, construction, and delivery. The platform operates exclusively through iOS and Android apps distributed via the App Store and Google Play, with localized web portals spanning 20 countries including the US, UK, and Spain. Its core technical offering is a free job-posting product paired with direct in-app chat between candidates and employers, supported by a candidate talent pool browsable across 35+ professional categories.

The product surface centers on three components: (1) a job seeker experience focused on rapid discovery and direct employer communication; (2) an employer hiring flow that is free to use with no credit card required, targeting SMBs alongside enterprise franchise operators; and (3) cross-platform localization at the country and city level. Performance claims include 90% of employers receiving 6 applicants within the first 3 minutes of posting and 70% of matches resolving within 24 hours. The app holds a 4.7/5 rating on the US App Store across 1,912 ratings.

The business model is freemium: job posting is free for employers, with monetization signaled to come from premium features and advertising. The customer base is bifurcated between a long tail of ~1M+ SMB employers globally and a visible set of enterprise franchise logos (Domino's, Burger King, Walgreens, Five Guys, Taco Bell, Chick-fil-A, Pizza Hut, Subway, Chipotle, Shake Shack, Pret A Manger, Le Pain Quotidien). Job Today has raised approximately $46M across priced equity rounds in 2016 and 2018 from investors including Accel, Flint Capital, Felix Capital, Mangrove, 14W, Channel 4 Ventures, German Media Pool, and Isomer Capital, with a non-dilutive 2021 grant from the Luxembourg-City Incubator. No revenue is disclosed, and the AI/ML underpinnings of its matching algorithm are not described in available source material.

Direct peers

• Snagajob: U.S.-focused hourly job marketplace; nearly identical target market (hourly SMB and enterprise employers) and similar mobile-first candidate flow, making it one of Job Today's closest functional competitors.
• ZipRecruiter: Publicly traded job marketplace with AI-driven matching and a similar employer-pays model; competes with Job Today for SMB and enterprise hourly hiring volume and offers comparable candidate browsing and chat workflows.
• Craigslist: Long-standing low-cost classifieds platform with a significant jobs vertical (~$45/post); cited directly in Job Today's competitive positioning as the cheap incumbent Job Today undercuts on price.
• Instawork: Mobile marketplace for hourly hospitality and warehouse shifts; directly overlaps Job Today's hospitality/retail verticals and shares the same chat-based shift matching value proposition.
• Indeed: The largest global job marketplace; competes directly with Job Today on free/paid employer job postings, candidate matching and employer-candidate communication across the same SMB and hourly hiring categories.

Regional players

• YoungCapital: European staffing and youth-job marketplace active in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany; overlaps Job Today's entry-level and student segments in geographies where Job Today also operates.

Emerging players

• Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent): Tech/startup-focused job board; illustrates the verticalized marketplace model Job Today could pursue as an expansion route into startup and SMB tech hiring.
• Handshake: Early-career job marketplace connecting students and recent grads to employers; represents an adjacent expansion target for Job Today's blue-collar candidate base into entry-level and apprentice roles.

Broad incumbents

• LinkedIn (Microsoft): Operates the dominant professional job marketplace as part of a broader social network; competes with Job Today for any white-collar and experienced hires and sets the pricing benchmark for recruiter products.
• Glassdoor: Job search and employer reviews platform owned by Indeed/Recruit; competes for employer brand-building budgets and increasingly for active job seeker traffic across SMB and mid-market categories.
