Alfred Jobs

What Alfred Jobs does

Alfred Jobs (Alfreð) operates Iceland's primary job search platform and mobile web app, connecting Icelandic employers with job seekers across the country. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Reykjavik, the platform aggregates 618+ active job listings spanning full-time, part-time, summer, temporary, remote, shift-based, volunteer, and Christmas positions. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding history or management team information, and operates exclusively within the Icelandic market.

The platform's technology stack is a web-based marketplace with standard job board functionality including location, job type, and industry filtering; saved jobs; shift alerts; and application management. Beyond core job postings, Alfred Jobs has built out a multi-module ecosystem including Vinnustaðir (employer profile pages showcasing company culture), Námskeið (a professional development course marketplace with 141 listings from Icelandic educational institutions), Vaktin (shift scheduling), Sumarstörf (summer jobs), and Hæfnileit (a talent pool matching service connecting candidates with unadvertised opportunities). There is no public API or developer-facing integration surface.

The business model is transaction-fee based: employers pay to post job listings while job seekers access the platform for free under a freemium model. Named employer customers span Iceland's largest institutions including Landspítali (national hospital, 7,000+ employees), Kópavogsbær (second-largest municipality), RÚV (national broadcaster), Icelandair, Alvotech (biotech), Krónan (grocery chain), and Thor landeldi. GTM is direct-to-consumer/self-serve through organic search, with no sales-led motion evident.
