Yooture AG, a Zurich-based recruitment technology firm, was established on December 3, 2013, by Dominik Bartholdi, Claudio Lehmann, and Martin Scherrer. The founders, all previously holding senior roles at UBS, created the platform out of a shared frustration with the complexities of job searching for employed professionals. Lehmann has a background in IT systems, Bartholdi in mobile application development and open-source contributions, and Scherrer in strategy consulting and innovation management at IBM Research and UBS. Their collective experience at the intersection of business and technology shaped Yooture's mission to simplify the connection between employers and candidates.
The company operates a dual-sided platform targeting both job seekers and corporate clients within the Swiss market. For individuals, Yooture provides a mobile-first job application (available on iOS and Android) that functions as a "dynamic career compass." Users create a profile, and the system's matching algorithm proactively suggests relevant job openings from a database of over 100,000 positions, sourced from job boards and direct company career sites. This approach is specifically designed to engage passive job seekers who are not actively browsing traditional job portals but are open to new opportunities.
On the corporate side, the "Yooture Corporates" platform enables companies to post job advertisements and gain access to a pool of over 500,000 users. The system analyzes job requirements and instantly suggests suitable candidates from its user base, allowing recruiters to initiate direct contact. This model combines traditional job posting with active sourcing, aiming to reduce the time and effort required to fill open positions. Revenue is generated through a subscription-based model for corporate clients and staffing agencies, which includes a monthly fee and a commission fee per successful hire.
