Services for job seekers
What is JobisJob?
JobisJob is a search engine for job offers, not a job board. In one simple search, we will help you to find the most interesting job offers from tens of major job boards, saving you all the time you would spend browsing each of those websites.
Where do your job offers come from?
JobisJob includes all the job listings from major job boards and we continue to add new sites every day.
We dynamically monitor job listings on these websites on a continuous basis, so you can find the very latest jobs listed on every site.
In order to maintain data integrity and quality for our users we only include jobs from reputable sources which meet a consistent high level of quality.
How do you rank the search results?
Job offers are ranked solely by relevance or date. We do not accept payment to include jobs in the search engine or to improve their ranking. The only exception to this are sponsored job offers, which are clearly marked as such.
Should I contact JobisJob to inquire about a job?
No. We're the search engine, not the hiring company. To follow up on an application, contact the company you're applying to directly. They'll know the status of your application, we don't.
Who is behind JobisJob?

Grupo Intercom established in Barcelona in May 1995.

What is 'More options…'?
JobisJob always tries to give you a maximum of information on the job offers in our result list. That’s what 'More options…' is all about.

How do I apply to jobs?
After you've run a search, click on job titles to view the job offer in detail. This takes you out of JobisJob to the website listing the job. Application instructions will vary from site to site. You cannot enter your resume and apply to jobs directly from JobisJob.
For jobs where we can't locate the application page, please, read carefully through the 'How to apply' section.
Application for job offers found using JobisJob always takes place outside JobisJob, namely in our providers’ websites. How to apply for a job offer found using JobisJob depends entirely on the providers’ application system, so unfortunately JobisJob cannot give you any assistance on this issue.
Where do I have to send my CV to, can I upload it?
Please do not send us any CVs. We do not have any CV database, so uploading your CV in JobisJob is not possible.
Please read carefully through the application details of the job offer because there you will find the details on if and how a CV can be submitted.
JobisJob is a search engine and we automatically extract the job offers from various sources, and do not have any further information on neither the companies nor the positions offered. For this reason, we simply would not know what to do with your CV.
Why do I see older/expired listings on the site?
While we do a great deal to reduce the probability that you will see an older/expired listing on the JobisJob site, old/expired listings can appear if the source site (where we pulled the information from) still has the job active on their site.
If you are an employer that would like to have a listing pulled, please contact the source site directly. The job would quickly clear from our results after the source site removed it.
What does blocking Jobs mean?
If you prefer excluding jobs advertised by a particular company or job board from your lists of results and job alerts, you can do this by clicking on the link Block found in the list of results.
To remember which companies and job boards you currently exclude from your searches, go to My Shortlist. In Blocked Jobs you will find your list of blocked sources, and a way to unblock them individually, if you wish so. (Registered users only)
Please take into consideration that blocking entire job boards can reduce the number of search results drastically.
What does flagging Jobs mean?
- scam/spam: Use this flag to alert us about jobs that are a scam
- expired: Signalizes that the job has expired in job board where it was originally posted
- broken link: Is for jobs you can’t access because the ulr is invalid
- duplicate: Indicates that the job is advertised more than once on JobisJob
