What JobAdPartner does

JobAdPartner (legal entity: jobvertising crossmedia GmbH) is a Berlin-based recruitment advertising and personnel marketing agency founded in 2011, operating as a privately-held GmbH under Managing Director Andreas Burike. The company provides a multiposting platform that distributes job advertisements to a network of 900+ online job boards and 1,200+ total channels including print publications and social networks, covering Germany, the DACH region, and 130+ countries internationally. Its core technology stack comprises three pillars: (1) the Mein Job Ad Partner Shop, a self-service HR software platform with an integrated ad editor and Pre-Selection Tool; (2) a BMS/ATS API integration that embeds the posting engine inside third-party applicant management systems; and (3) full-service managed multiposting with dedicated account managers.

The company generates revenue through a diversified mix of one-time package sales (Starter €925, Best Practice €1,495, Premium €2,275), annual subscriptions (StepStone All Jobs from ~€350/ad), outcome-based pricing (StepStone 360 with CPA targeting, CPC campaigns on Google/Facebook/LinkedIn), BMS/ATS API licensing, and professional services including copyediting, AGG compliance checking, SEO, design, applicant pre-selection, and international translation. Distribution occurs through direct sales-led consulting with account managers, the self-service Shop platform, and embedded OEM/white-label integrations with ATS vendors. The company serves 1,000+ customers — primarily German small and medium-sized enterprises, with select large enterprises (Uniklikum, WISAG, Wall, VB Freiburg) — and offers industry-verticalized packages for engineering, IT, and healthcare/nursing recruitment. Partner relationships with StepStone, Indeed, Xing, LinkedIn, JobNinja, meinestadt.de, HeyJobs, stellenanzeigen.de, Jobware, and Jobs.de form the core distribution backbone.

Revenue model

1. Job Advertisement Placement Fees: JobAdPartner charges fees for publishing job advertisements on online and print media. Pricing follows their price list plus VAT. The company acts as an intermediary, creating and/or placing job ads for clients across their partner network of 900+ job boards and print publications.
2. Pre-packaged Job Posting Bundles: Tiered job posting packages (Starter at €925, Best Practice at €1,495, Premium at €2,275) offered as one-time purchases with set durations on named job boards.
