After registration, you can fill in your company information, and add your logo and company profile. For a job advertisement, you need job information, a text for the job advertisement, a cover photo, and an URL where you want to receive applications (*optional).
An account has been created for me
We search job advertisements from open public sources, such as the TE services website. The job advertisement will show if the source is TE services and therefore the application will be directed to the address indicated in the TE services website.
We will automatically create login credentials for you when we have retrieved a job advertisement from an open source. You can use your account to edit the job advertisement - for example its content and appearance, or where incoming applications are directed.
If you don’t make any changes, applications will be automatically forwarded to the email address used when posting the job on the TE Services website.We’ll email you as soon as your job ad receives an application through Jobportal.For security reasons, we recommend updating your password after your first login.

Campaign packages
Promoting your job advertisement
You can promote your job ad on Jobportal and on social media by purchasing a campaign package. Jobportal currently offers four different paid campaign packages to support your company’s recruitment needs. For more information about our campaign packages, click here.
Campaign packages use Jobportal’s visual materials. Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to use the client’s own brand imagery in the marketing. However, we recommend adding your company logo and any relevant promotional images to your job ad. You can also make your advertisement more distinctive by using different text formatting options.
What are the benefits of campaign packages?
Campaigns take your open position to where candidates already are. Visibility on candidates’ smart devices and social media can help attract even more passive job seekers.Passive job seekers are individuals who are open to changing jobs but are not actively searching for a new position or who are focused on specific companies and their career opportunities.
Not all companies want to purchase recruitment services to support their hiring process because they can be expensive. Many would like to invest in recruiting their first employee — but not necessarily spend thousands of euros. Jobportal was created to fill this gap.We want to provide small businesses with the opportunity to recruit successfully and find a new employee. We offer employers affordable campaign packages to increase the visibility of their job ads.By publishing your job ad on Jobportal, you reach job seekers through recruitment channels, email marketing and targeted social media advertising.
Our most effective campaign package for reaching job seekers is Social Media Star. Your job ad will appear at the top of the homepage search results and be promoted through targeted social media advertising starting at €50 (or a budget defined by you). The advertising is managed by the professional marketing agency Mediaspark.
Why choose targeted digital advertising?
- The best candidates may not be actively looking for a new job, but they are still open to new opportunities.
- Targeted digital advertising costs only a fraction of traditional recruitment agency fees.
- The marketing agency is responsible for distributing the ad effectively to the target audience on social media.
- The marketing agency has up-to-date expertise in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
Did you know that advertising job opportunities on social media is subject to restrictions related to discriminatory practices? Those who have worked with ad targeting know how poor targeting can ruin the results of an entire campaign. A poorly executed recruitment campaign can also negatively impact other campaigns run from the same advertising account.We don’t want that for you. That’s why we encourage you to use platforms that are already recognized as job search websites when promoting job ads on social media. Platforms that are clearly identified as recruitment-related on social media, such as Jobportal, reach job seekers more effectively.
Without additional budget, a job ad purchased with the Social Media Star campaign receives an average of 250 views. Several factors influence this number, such as the open position itself, the popularity of the industry, and the employer’s brand image. In the most popular sectors, the Social Media Star campaign — without additional budget — receives an average of 450 views.
Pro tip!
You can boost visibility later by upgrading with additional campaign packages.
