What CTgoodjobs does

CTgoodjobs is a Hong Kong–focused recruitment and career platform operated by Career Times Online Limited, a member of the Hong Kong Economic Times Group. The platform connects individual job seekers — including fresh graduates, experienced professionals, and part-time workers — with employers and recruitment agencies through a web portal, iOS and Android mobile applications, a WhatsApp chatbot (揾工快 / PTgoodjobs), and seven specialized sector channels covering Finance, Civil Service, Graduate, Human Resources, IT, NGO, and Part-time roles. The job board carries 8,000+ active vacancies and serves recognizable Hong Kong employers such as HSBC, AXA Hong Kong and Macau, Kowloon Shangri-La, Swire Properties, Hong Kong Metropolitan University, and Hactl.

The product surface extends beyond job listings. SalaryCheck is positioned as Hong Kong's first salary search engine, with 431,825+ entries updated daily from job seeker profiles, employer postings, and recruitment agencies, and is accessible both to candidates and employers for benchmarking. CareerMove provides career management tooling, while a Learning Platform and a Resources content hub host career news, advice, and sector-specific guides. CTgoodjobs runs an AI Recommended Jobs engine that personalizes listings based on user profiles and browsing behavior, and complements the digital offering with annual events including the CTgoodjobs Best HR Awards, the Hong Kong Future Leader Awards, and the Hong Kong International Talent Job Expo. The platform is PDPA- and GDPR-compliant and holds no disclosed patents.

Monetisation is two-sided and employer-funded. Job seekers access search, recommendations, and SalaryCheck free of charge, while revenue is generated from employers via job posting fees, candidate database access, and recruitment advertising / subscription packages managed through a dedicated employer portal (cthr.ctgoodjobs.hk). The pricing for employer services is not publicly disclosed, and revenue figures are not reported. The company's growth is therefore distributed across a long tail of Hong Kong employers with the HKET Group parent providing media synergies (cross-promotion with hket.com, iMoney, U Magazine, e-zone, ET Net) rather than any visible external venture capital or institutional funding.

Regional players

• JobStreet: Leading Southeast Asian job portal (Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia); comparable vertical job search platform with employer subscription model, though focused on different geographies than Hong Kong.
• 104 Job Bank: Taiwan's leading recruitment platform with extensive salary data tools and sector-specific channels; comparable business model and product mix to CTgoodjobs, but operating in a different Chinese-speaking market.

Direct peers

• JobsDB: One of the leading job portals across Asia with strong Hong Kong presence; directly competes with CTgoodjobs in the same local job posting and candidate search market, serving both job seekers and employers with similar subscription and listing revenue models.
• LinkedIn: Professional network with integrated job marketplace serving Hong Kong's professional workforce; overlaps significantly with CTgoodjobs in banking, finance, IT, and corporate hiring, and competes for enterprise recruitment advertising budgets.
• Indeed: Global job search engine and recruitment platform with active operations in Hong Kong; competes directly for employer recruitment spend and job seeker traffic, with a much larger aggregated job inventory and AI-driven matching capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• Hays: Global recruitment agency with significant Hong Kong presence specializing in professional placements; overlaps with CTgoodjobs' Banking/Finance, IT, and HR channels for mid-to-senior level hiring.
• Recruit Holdings: Japanese conglomerate operating Indeed, Glassdoor, and multiple HR services brands globally; broader incumbent in the recruitment and HR technology space, with overlapping capabilities in job search, employer branding, and salary benchmarking.
• Robert Half: Global staffing and recruitment services firm with operations in Hong Kong across finance, accounting, IT, and administrative roles; competes for the same employer recruitment budgets and finance/IT job seeker pool as CTgoodjobs' specialized channels.

Emerging players

• Glassdoor: Employee review and salary benchmarking platform; comparable to CTgoodjobs' SalaryCheck tool in providing crowdsourced salary data and company insights, and increasingly overlapping in job marketplace functionality.
• Levels.fyi: Crowdsourced compensation data platform, particularly for tech roles; comparable in spirit to CTgoodjobs' SalaryCheck product as a salary benchmarking destination, though focused on global tech compensation rather than Hong Kong general market.
