StudentJob International

What StudentJob International does

StudentJob International operates an online job marketplace connecting students, graduates, and young professionals with employers offering part-time work, internships, holiday jobs, and entry-level positions. The platform serves both sides of the market: students register for free to search jobs, build CVs, and apply, while employers post job listings and access candidate databases on a transaction-based pricing model with credits valid for one year. The product surface extends beyond a basic job board to include a free Lebenslauf-Generator (CV Builder) tool, a Kandidatenpool (Candidate Pool) talent-pipeline service for employers, automated Job Alerts based on saved search criteria, and an extensive content library covering Austrian-specific labor law, salary/tax information, application templates, and age-segmented job categories (12-18+ years).

The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of YoungCapital Holding B.V., a Dutch private limited company headquartered in Hoofddorp, Netherlands (Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce #34199418). StudentJob International's brand encompasses a network of localized country portals across DACH, Benelux, Nordic, UK/Ireland, and Southern Europe markets (including studentjob.at, .de, .nl, .be, .fr, .es, .se, .ch, .co.uk, .ie), with the Austrian platform (studentjob.at) serving as the most deeply developed regional instance at 3,513 active job listings. Headcount across the parent group is 501-1,000 employees.

Revenue is generated through employer-side fees — paid job postings and CV/resume database access — structured as a transaction-based, pay-as-you-go model with credit-based billing. Distribution combines organic SEO across hundreds of category and city landing pages, content marketing via the career blog, and direct enterprise sales relationships with high-volume student employers such as Lidl Österreich, Hofer (Aldi Group), Foodora Austria, GoStudent, and Temmel Fundraising. Student acquisition is freemium and self-serve.
