Jobat

Jobat is a Belgian employment website and recruitment platform, described as the number one recruitment platform in Belgium and for years the largest commercial Belgian jobsite. It connects jobseekers with employers, offering job listings, career advice, company information, CV uploads and job alerts. Originally launched as a newspaper supplement under the name Job@ before 2005, it appeared in De Standaard, Het Nieuwsblad and De Gentenaar with articles on work and careers followed by job advertisements. Over the years it evolved into an online career platform focused on digital vacancies, career tips and employer information. A Jobat app was introduced in 2023. For employers, Jobat provides cross-media solutions to match job openings with the best candidates. Jobat has historically been part of the media company Corelio, which in 2013 formed a joint venture with media group Concentra to create Mediahuis. Since then Jobat has also appeared as a supplement in the newspapers and on the websites of Het Belang van Limburg and Gazet van Antwerpen. In 2019 it was announced that Jobat and Vacature.com would merge into a joint venture between Mediahuis and DPG Media, aimed at maintaining a leading position in the Belgian job and recruitment market and accelerating the sector's digital transformation through greater reach. Since then the Jobat brand has also appeared on the websites and in the newspapers of Het Laatste Nieuws and De Morgen. Jobat also offers the Jobat Salariskompas, an online tool that lets users compare their gross salary with that of others in similar roles and sectors, providing an objective estimate of a market-conform salary based on current data from thousands of users and additional sources. The Salariskompas was launched in 2008 as part of Vacature.com; from 2010 Jobat had a similar tool called the Loonwijzer. After the 2019 joint venture these were merged into the current Jobat Salariskompas. In 2023, 92,000 respondents took part in the Jobat Salariskompas salary survey. Jobat.be won the title of Jobsite of the Year in both 2010 and 2011 in the Site van het Jaar election by Clickx Magazine. Annual job fairs are organized under the Jobat name in the largest Belgian cities, known as Jobat Live, formerly Jobat Career Launch.
