Jobboard Finder

What Jobboard Finder does

Jobboard Finder is a France-based, privately held recruitment marketplace and directory platform operated under parent company Aktor Interactive. The company maintains what it describes as the world's largest job board search engine, indexing 993 job boards across more than 200 countries and offering a free comparison tool that ranks listings by audience figures, products, prices, and job offer volume. Its product surface consists of a search engine, a comparison tool, a job posting marketplace spanning more than 500 job sites, an HR tender/quotation service, a managed recruitment media buying offering, and a Premium Access subscription with enhanced analytics.

The platform is built on a freemium model: the search engine, comparison tool, and job board directory listing are free to use, while monetization flows from four sources: transaction-based job posting fees routed through the marketplace, quote-based HR tender services for international recruitment, managed media buying and optimization, and recurring premium subscription revenue. Go-to-market is hybrid: self-serve product-led growth for SMB recruiters alongside an inside sales motion for enterprise recruitment agencies requiring international hiring support, delivered via multilingual phone and email sales operations.

The company serves two distinct customer bases. On the demand side, it addresses HR managers, corporate recruiters, HR consultants, and job seekers in 200+ countries. On the supply side, it serves job boards seeking free directory exposure to an international recruiter audience. Founded around 2013 and built on 15 years of e-recruitment expertise, Jobboard Finder operates from Rillieux, France with 11–50 employees and no disclosed institutional funding.

Broad incumbents

• LinkedIn (Talent Solutions): Microsoft-owned professional network with deep recruiting products (LinkedIn Jobs, Recruiter) used by HR teams globally. Competes with Jobboard Finder's marketplace for recruiter attention and ad spend on recruitment media.

Emerging players
