Our story

Why we created
Smart Jobs?

Recruitment is painful for both recruiters and candidates.
We couldn't only make this easier for recruiters any longer.

Sound familiar?

01
"You applied three weeks ago. Still no reply."
Silence is the most common response in job search. Not because companies don't care — but because no one built a tool to make updates easy. Until now.
02
"Is this job even real? Are they still hiring?"
Ghost listings waste your time. You apply, you wait, you never hear back. The listing was posted months ago and nobody took it down.
03
"You'll never know why. Or where your CV went."
No transparency, no stage visibility, no feedback. Applying for a job felt too much like shouting into a void. Candidates deserve better.

Why Smart Jobs? Are there not
already job boards?

Job boards do exist, some of them are pretty good. But we know they have to find the balance between making their customers happy and candidate happy. No surprise they have to prioritize the people who pay them money first.

When we decided to build Smart Jobs, we made the bold move to think 100% about candidates first. Not because we don't care about recruiters and companies, but with the belief that if we make the best job board for candidates, it will also benefit recruiters.

So what about Smart Jobs
is Candidate Focused?

The biggest challenge in recruitment for candidates is transparency and information. Recruiters know exactly what is going on, and what is next, but candidates don't. Which makes applying for jobs basically annoying and confusing. If you didn't need money to actually live, we are pretty sure most of you would never apply for a job the way it looks today.

But because we also know recruiters pretty well, we learned quickly most of this silence is not on purpose. It's due to lack of time and resources.

Which gave us our lightbulb moment.
We can fix that.
Not the silence. Not the recruiters. The system.
SmartTracker

You can track your application.
Just like a package.

Most job postings you apply to through Smart Jobs have their own personal tracking page. This page lets you see how many stages the recruitment has and monitor changes to your application status. Kinda like when you order food or a package.

  • A tracking link for most positions you apply to
  • See how many stages the recruitment has — and exactly where you stand
  • Automatic notifications every time your status changes
