Senior Quality - Jobplattform 45plus

What Senior Quality - Jobplattform 45plus does

Senior Quality is Austria's first and only online job platform exclusively serving workers aged 45 and above, founded in 2022 in Graz and operated as a brand of FAB (Verein zur Förderung von Arbeit und Beschäftigung), a non-profit association with more than 60 years of labor-market expertise that is itself part of the Expertis Gruppe (alongside BFI OÖ and BBRZ). The platform connects experienced job seekers ('Senior Experts') with employers seeking mature talent across Austria (Styria, Upper Austria, Vienna, Carinthia), and positions itself against age discrimination in the labor market. Technically, it is a conventional job board: employer profiles, job listings, candidate registration with a Jobalarm notification system, a confidential/Verdeckte Ausschreibung posting option, and a video-based coaching portal, with no disclosed AI/ML, API surface, or SDK.

The business model is a hybrid two-sided B2B/B2C marketplace. On the supply (employer) side, revenue comes from tiered partnerships — Gold, Silver, Flatrate Jahreslösung, Einzelinseratschaltung, and a separate Kommunale Partnerschaften tier — sold on annual or per-posting bases, with Gold and Silver tiers bundling media cooperation, PR, social-media promotion, event access, and visibility-boosting services. Notable Gold and Silver partners include McDonald's Österreich, Holding Graz, Microsoft Österreich, Wiener Städtische Versicherung, KAGes, ÖBB, Magistrat Villach, and Stadt Graz, alongside a long tail of employers in healthcare, energy, insurance, social services, and manufacturing. On the demand (candidate) side, registration and job search are free; the company monetizes job seekers through fee-based Karriere-Coaching Pakete covering competence analysis, application support, and video application training. Annual monetization is reinforced by the recurring Senior Experts Day career fair (4th edition in 2026 at WKO Steiermark) and ongoing engagement products — the WIR45+ webinar series, the Expert:innenzone content portal, the Quality News blog, and the double-opt-in Fachnews/Unternehmensnews email newsletters.

Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales (Gold/Silver/Flatrate deals), direct candidate coaching sales, self-serve individual job postings and candidate registration at seniorquality.at, and content/earned-media positioning across print (Kleine Zeitung, Kronen Zeitung, diePresse, Steirische Nachrichten, Profil), broadcast (ORF Eco, GutenMorgen Österreich, Steiermark heute, Ö1), and partnership media (Diversity Guide, RegionalMedien Steiermark, Media 21). Revenue is not publicly disclosed, the entity is privately held as a non-profit association brand, and there are no observed funding rounds, M&A, leadership changes, or AI capability announcements in the input data.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Joblift: European meta-search engine aggregating job listings from multiple sources in DACH. Emerging competitor benefiting from AI matching that could undercut niche boards by offering broader inventory to 45+ candidates.
• jobs55plus.de: Germany-focused niche job board targeting the 50+ segment, comparable in mission (combating age discrimination) and product shape (listings + coaching content). Emerging peer in a closely adjacent market that could expand DACH.

Broad incumbents

• XING: DACH-dominant professional network with recruiting tools and event features. Broad incumbent that overlaps on career services, networking events, and employer brand content in the same geographic market.
• LinkedIn: Global professional network with deep Austrian employer adoption, content, and career-coaching content. Powers corporate age-diversity campaigns of Senior Quality's own partners and competes for the same recruiter mindshare.
• StepStone Austria: Major European/DACH job marketplace with strong Austrian presence and mature B2B SaaS tools for employers. Competes head-on for senior professional postings and employer partnerships.
• Indeed Austria: Global job search engine operating in Austria with the broadest inventory and free posting options. Competes for employer spend across all age bands; could trivially add an age filter that overlaps Senior Quality's niche.

Direct peers

• Karriere.at: Austria's leading general-purpose job marketplace with the largest domestic active candidate pool. Direct competitor for employer recruiting budgets and job-seeker traffic in Austria, but not age-specialized.
• Hokify: Austrian mobile-first job platform with strong employer adoption and a candidate app. Direct peer competing for employer job-posting budgets in the Austrian SMB and enterprise segments.

Regional players

• Willhaben.at Jobs: Austria's largest general classifieds marketplace with a dedicated jobs vertical, including filters by sector relevant to 45+ candidates. Regional competitor drawing recruiter budgets that could flow to Senior Quality.
• AMS Jobbörse: Austrian Public Employment Service job platform with universal reach in Austria. Regional public-sector competitor that channels subsidized 45+ candidates and employer listings.
