What JobIQ does

JobIQ AG is a Zurich-based technology company that operates an AI-powered programmatic job advertising platform, wholly owned by the Swiss recruiting-solutions provider Prospective Media PMS AG. Founded in 2017, JobIQ aggregates paid media buying across more than ten channels — Google, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Indeed, Spotify, YouTube, TikTok, Swiss news portals (20 Minuten, Blick, Watson, Tages-Anzeiger), and jobs.ch — into a single self-service and demo-driven product. The platform's AI crawls and structures job postings, generates channel-tailored creatives (banners, images, video, animation), and continuously reallocates budgets across channels, with online-marketing experts providing human oversight.

The company sells through a tiered transactional model: JobIQ BASIC at CHF 795 per role, JobIQ PRO Indeed at CHF 1,290 per role, and a custom JobIQ SMART Indeed+ tier for enterprise customers, supplemented by individual channel add-ons (Google Search from CHF 200, Facebook/Instagram from CHF 300, LinkedIn from CHF 390, Indeed from CHF 360, YouTube from CHF 350, Spotify from CHF 490, TikTok from CHF 525, Swiss news portals from CHF 190, jobs.ch at CHF 650 fixed). Customers can book campaigns in under five minutes via a 24/7 web dashboard (app.jobiq.ch) or via personalized demos for larger accounts.

JobIQ serves a horizontal mix of Swiss employers — from SMBs using self-service to enterprises such as AMAG GROUP, Epionia Gruppe, and Muff Kirchturm Technik AG — plus recruitment agencies. Since 2017 the company reports approximately 95,000-100,000 campaigns, 1,000+ clients, 25,000 positions filled, 20 million ad clicks, and 2 billion impressions. Operations are confined to Switzerland with no disclosed international expansion, M&A, or external funding rounds. Leadership consists of Managing Director Florent Morina, Head of Campaign Management Barlas Uzunonat, Head of Business Development Felix Mall, Head of Operations Mario Döring, and Key Account Manager Samuel Kartnaller, supported by a small (1-10) overall headcount.
