Founded in 2000 by Thomas Sterchi, jobs.ch has established itself as a pivotal online employment portal in the Swiss market. The company operates as a comprehensive job board platform catering to a multitude of industries, including finance, IT, marketing, and real estate. Its business model centers on providing a marketplace for employers to post job vacancies and for job seekers to find suitable positions. Revenue is generated from fees paid by companies for advertising their open roles and utilizing other recruitment services on the platform. Clients range from small businesses to large corporations across Switzerland.
Over the years, jobs.ch has experienced significant ownership transitions. In 2007, the founders sold a majority stake to the U.S. investment firm Tiger Global Management. By 2012, the company returned to Swiss hands through a joint acquisition by media groups Ringier and Tamedia (now TX Group), a deal valuing the holding company at CHF 390 million. This strategic partnership aimed to strengthen the platform's position against international competitors. Today, jobs.ch is part of JobCloud SA, a joint venture between Ringier AG and TX Group, which also operates other job platforms like jobup.ch and JobScout24.
The platform offers a suite of tools for both job applicants and employers. Job seekers can search for positions using advanced filters such as location, industry, and language, create professional CVs with a built-in builder, and even generate AI-powered motivation letters. Additional features include company profiles with employee reviews, salary comparison tools, and personalized job alerts. For corporate clients, the service provides access to a large pool of candidates and offers different models for advertising, including a pay-per-performance option to optimize recruitment budgets. The platform has also expanded its offerings to include niche job boards for specific sectors like finance (financejobs.ch) and IT (ictcareer.ch).
