What Alma Career does

Alma Career is a pan-European online recruitment platform operating a network of nearly 30 country-leading job portals and HR technology products across Central Europe, the Adriatic, the Baltics, Finland, and Southeast Europe. Founded as a unified brand in 2022, it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Finnish listed media company Alma Media Corporation (Nasdaq Helsinki), which began acquiring recruitment businesses in 2012. The company directly operates in 9 countries (Czechia, Slovakia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, North Macedonia, and Finland) and serves 5 additional markets via partnerships (Serbia, Albania, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Romania), reaching over 70 million people with 5+ million monthly visits and 12+ million candidate responses delivered per month.

The product portfolio spans the full employee lifecycle: job posting services across the portal network, a pan-European CV database, the Teamio applicant tracking system (ATS), AI-powered vacancy-candidate matching, salary benchmarking (Paylab/Platy), employer branding, the Arnold conversational HR chatbot, the Pulser employee satisfaction platform, the Seduo online education platform, and full-service recruitment. Core technology includes a recommendation engine that ranks job postings by relevance rather than recency, plus conversational AI for employee engagement surveys. The company generated €26.4 million in Q4 2025 revenue (+0.6% year-on-year) and €26.2 million in Q3 2025 (-0.3% year-on-year), implying an annualized run-rate of approximately €105 million.

Revenue is generated primarily through subscription-based job posting fees, CV database access subscriptions, ATS subscriptions, salary data products, employer branding services, and full-service recruitment fees. The company serves both employers (54,000+ in Croatia alone via MojPosao, 1,000+ Czech ATS users via Teamio) and job seekers through a self-serve product-led model, supplemented by direct sales teams for enterprise cross-border clients and event-driven lead generation through regional job fairs such as HR Days (Croatia), CareerExpo (Czechia), and Profesia Days (Slovakia).
