Jobiqo acquires JOBS.DE and strengthens the job network in Germany
Jobiqo acquires JOBS.DE, strengthening its presence in the German job market. JOBS.DE will be further developed technologically and receive an AI-based performance upgrade.
Jobiqo, a leading technology and full-service provider for online job boards, has acquired the JOBS.DE platform from the Kariera Group. With this acquisition, Jobiqo strengthens its presence in the German market and further establishes itself as a central technology partner for publishers, media houses, professional associations, universities, and operators of online job boards. At the same time, JOBS.DE will receive a significant performance upgrade through Jobiqo’s AI-powered reach and matching technologies.
The online recruiting market is undergoing a structural transformation. Artificial intelligence, programmatic job advertising, rising media costs, and increasing AI-driven applicant and bot traffic are fundamentally changing the requirements for online job boards. Employers are increasingly expecting integrated solutions that combine reach, relevance, and measurable results—relying less on external reach channels.
In this context, JOBS.DE will be further enhanced as a key component of Jobiqo’s national job board network. The platform will continue to operate independently, strategically linking national reach with regional and specialized job markets to deliver greater impact and relevance.
"The online job market is increasingly driven by technology and managed across multiple channels. Artificial intelligence and social media deliver their full potential when used in a coordinated way. With the further development of JOBS.DE, we are putting this approach into practice, while simultaneously strengthening the entire Jobiqo network by providing additional reach, improved control, and higher-quality matching results exclusively for our job boards."
The focus is on delivering high-quality recruiting outcomes: employers should not only gain visibility, but also receive more relevant applications, structured processes, and measurable results throughout the entire recruiting funnel.
More Options for Publishers and Job Board Operators
With the integration of JOBS.DE, Jobiqo expands its job board network with a national reach component that can be strategically linked with regional and specialized online job boards. This creates additional reach within a controlled, technology-driven network focused on quality and measurable results.
For publishers and platform operators, this means greater independence from external reach channels as well as improved control over performance and recruiting outcomes. The integration is based on existing Jobiqo technology, such as Jobiqo AIR.

Technology and Performance Upgrade for JOBS.DE
For JOBS.DE, the acquisition marks a comprehensive technological upgrade, delivering noticeable performance improvements for employers. The platform will be further developed using Jobiqo’s technology and international expertise, benefiting from a technology stack fully focused on performance, quality, and scalability. This includes the targeted use of data and artificial intelligence, AI-powered Search&Match Technology, intelligent reach management, social recruiting approaches, and continuous conversion optimization.
"The goal is to adapt JOBS.DE specifically to the evolving requirements of the online recruiting market and to develop it sustainably for the long term, with a focus on delivering relevant recruiting outcomes for employers. We have observed that job boards supported by Jobiqo technology achieve more than twice the conversion rate of qualified applicants compared to traditional job aggregators. We now aim to offer this performance advantage to all our clients within the job market network and continue to expand it."
