Direct peers

• Jobs.cz: Czech job portal that is a sister company under Alma Career, sharing the same platform DNA, employer branding tools, and CV database monetisation. Directly comparable in business model and product surface, just operating in a different (Czech) market.
• Prace.cz: Another Alma Career-owned Czech job portal. Operates the same subscription-based employer model with regional job listings, employer branding, and CV database — making it one of the closest functional analogues to Profesia.
• Pracuj.pl: Leading Polish job board operated by Grupa Pracuj. Closest standalone CEE competitor to Profesia in scale, employer monetisation model, CV database access, and employer branding services — just in a much larger Polish labour market.
• CVonline (CV-Online): Alma Career-owned job portal covering Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. Same parent, same monetisation model (job postings, CV database, employer branding), and same cross-border employer overlap as Profesia.
• MojPosao: Alma Career-owned job portal serving Croatia and the Adriatic region. Same product architecture and revenue model as Profesia, often compared as a sibling market-leader portal in the Alma Career portfolio.

Broad incumbents

• LinkedIn: Global professional network with a dominant job marketplace and recruiter tooling suite. Competes with Profesia for both employer recruitment budgets and job-seeker attention across CEE, including Slovakia.
• Indeed: Global job search engine with aggressive CEE expansion and free/low-cost posting tiers. Competes head-on with Profesia on SMB employer acquisition and candidate search in Slovakia.
• Glassdoor: Global employer-review and job-listing platform increasingly used by CEE candidates for salary insights and employer research. Competes indirectly with Profesia's Najzamestnávateľ awards and Platy.sk salary data monetisation.

Emerging players

• No Fluff Jobs: CEE-focused tech job board with transparent salary bands and quality-of-vacancy focus. An emerging player that overlaps with Profesia's tech employers (e.g., ESET, Deutsche Telekom IT) by offering a more specialised candidate experience.

Others

• Seduo (Alma Career): Largest Czech-Slovak online learning platform within the Alma Career portfolio. Adjacent ecosystem peer — not a job board, but the same corporate parent uses it to extend employer value beyond job advertising into upskilling.
