JobTech

Site's statement

Jobboard Finder’s opinion

Summary: Founded in 2000, JobTech is a StepStone brand, which you’ll realise within moments of using the site. It focuses on tech profiles and engineering profiles. It attracts 547 users a day, which is pretty low, but it does redirect users to StepStone quite often. Furthermore, the site is not https:// secure on the homepage. The Twitter leads to a StepStone page (with 2 119 followers) as does the Facebook page (5 708 followers). The site has the same design as another of other StepStone French job boards and each one has its own colour. This one is blue.

Design: The search engine (keywords and location) is the focus of the top of the homepage, which includes two tickable boxes: fulltime and part-time. You can also choose from a number of categories, cities and functions. Thanks to the advanced search, you can also include the type of contract, the type of hours, the sector, the experience, keywords and disability options. Once in the job listing, you can also use the filters (date, language, skills, category, sector, region, city, experience type of hours and type of contract), which tell you the number of jobs in each category. Every time you go to a new page, a job alert pops up (which is very annoying). The job offers include descriptions, multimedia (video and photo) and logos, but company pages are just lists of offers. In the footer, you will find many partner websites.

The job board objective: JobTech hopes to make it easier for engineers and technical professionals to find work.

Recruiter observations: When recruiting, you need to go through StepStone France (see the profile).

Jobseeker observations: It’s easy to create an account but you don’t need one to apply to job offers (it’s just faster).

The job offers: There are over 2 350 job offers on the site. Most of them are in development, research and security.

Reactivity: The contact page redirects users to StepStone France (see the profile).

Special features: Job alerts.

Verdict: As a recruiter, there really is no point in going through JobTech rather than StepStone to place an advert. For jobseekers, the job board targets a more specific profile than StepStone. The pop-ups are quite frustrating though.
