Jobindex

What Jobindex does

Jobindex A/S, founded in 1996 by Kaare Danielsen and headquartered in Valby, Copenhagen, operates Denmark's largest online job portal and a full-service recruitment and employer branding bureau. The platform aggregates job listings across categories (IT, engineering, management, healthcare, trades, etc.) and serves a dual-sided market: 1M+ monthly job seeker users and Danish employers ranging from SMBs to enterprises and government bodies. Core products include the Jobindex Job Board with 31,500+ active listings, a CV database of 193,359+ searchable candidate profiles, the QuickApply free application system, Jobagent email alerts, and a mobile app on iOS/Android. The platform is supported by content tools (salary check, job satisfaction and personality tests, guides, courses via Jobindex Kurser) and a workplace evaluation system feeding the GAIS (God Arbejdslyst Indeks Score) employer rating metric.

Revenue is generated through multiple streams: paid job advertising (Profilannonce, Match, Fast Profilannonce, scanning agreements), CV-database access bundled with advertising subscriptions, professional recruitment services (Jobindex Search, Search Anonym, Search Leder, Search IT, RecruiterMatch) delivered by in-house consultants, employer branding production (video, photography), Jobindex PLUS managed employment programs sold to A-kasser and jobcentres, and display advertising through Google AdX and Meta. The group also owns Computerworld Danmark (Denmark's largest IT media), Computerworld it-jobbank, and StepStone Danmark, providing media and IT-vertical job-board reach. Distribution combines self-serve digital purchasing for SMBs with dedicated account management for enterprise recruitment and employer branding engagements.

Underlying technology combines a web and mobile marketplace stack with AWS-hosted video interview infrastructure (via Addpipe), SurveyXact-powered analytics, and AI capabilities developed through academic research. The Jobmatch AI candidate-matching system (developed 2020-2024 with Copenhagen and Aalborg Universities, funded by a 7M DKK Innovation Fund Denmark grant) is now in production, complemented by an AI-powered job search assistant chatbot using Anthropic's Claude model. A 3-year Fair Match follow-up project (2024+) with IT-Universitetet is dedicated to bias detection in AI-driven recruitment recommendations. Acquisitions have historically been used to consolidate the Danish market, including Ofir, Joblicate, IDG Connect, and Jobindex Media. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors and no parent company identified.
