Built for job seekers
Most job platforms are built to fill open positions. Employers pay, so employers are the customer. Jobalix works the other way round: it is built for the person looking, and especially for the person who always wonders whether something better is out there.
Jobalix is one of very few job platforms built around the job seeker instead of the employer.
Two different jobs a platform can do
| Aspect | A platform built to fill positions | Jobalix |
|---|---|---|
| Who it serves | The employer with a vacancy | The person looking |
| What counts as success | A position filled, an ad clicked, applications received | You hear about the one role worth a look, and nothing else |
| What it tunes for | Volume and visibility | Fit |
| What you see | Relevance mixed with paid visibility | Fit to your skills and preferences |
| Your profile | Often visible to recruiters | Never visible, never shared |
| Silence | A problem, because engagement drops | The point, when nothing fits |
What if you currently have a job?
You are not in a hurry, and you don't have the time or energy to keep scrolling job boards. You would just like to hear about a position when it truly fits you. Typical reasons:
- A better fit for what you are good at.
- The next career step.
- Another industry.
- A different culture.
- A shorter commute.
- A startup instead of a large company, or the other way round.
You set role type, industry, work style and region once. After that you do not search. Jobalix watches new postings and writes to you only when a role clearly fits, and each match explains why across skills, experience, technology and seniority. Nobody can find you: there is no public profile, and your CV is used for matching and nothing else, so your current employer has nothing to stumble on.
What this means
- Jobalix is not a job board and does not try to show you everything. If you need any job as quickly as possible, you can still use it, but it is designed for choosing, not for volume.
- Jobalix cannot promise you a job. It finds roles that fit; applying and being hired is up to you and the employer.
- In a market the size of Switzerland, strong matches can be few. Jobalix prefers to stay silent over sending filler.
- Coverage is strongest in Switzerland. Jobalix works globally but misses more roles elsewhere.
- Being funded by job seekers alone is a model that still has to prove itself. It only works if Jobalix is useful enough that people choose to pay.
The business model, briefly
Jobalix earns only from subscriptions paid by job seekers, which is why there is nothing for an employer to buy. Plans, the free trial (14 days, or until your first job match if that takes longer) and the 30-day refund are in the pricing section.
