Whatjobs is an international job search platform,[1][2] that operates in 39 countries.[3] It was originally founded in 2014 as AdView.[1][4]
History
[edit]Whatjobs was established by Alex Paterson in May 2014 under the name AdView. The platform initially concentrated on delivering fresh job listings to candidates via email and banner advertising.[5]
In 2016, Whatjobs secured investment from Shane McGourty, a former executive at Monster.com in Ireland, to expand and enhance its services. In 2019, AdView was rebranded as Whajobs.[6][7] In November 2020, WhatJobs acquired the Spanish job search group Elcurriculum.com.[8]
In September 2020, the company collaborated with Google for Jobs to launch in seven developing African countries.[9]
During the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020, Whatjobs published vacancies for the British National Health Service(NHS).[10] The company also helps the championship football team Reading F.C.[1]
In 2022, Whatjobs News launched a dedicated business news platform in Ukraine.[11] In the same year, the company opened an office in Italy.[12]
In 2023, Whatjobs appointed Heiko Zeichner, the founder of the German job board Gigajob.com, as its new chairman.[11]
