Site's statement

Jobboard Finder’s opinion

Summary: Created by Benjamin Philion, Lucas Martinez and Maxime Droux, the search engine started bringing jobseekers and job offers together in 2011 in Montréal. Since then, headquarters in Lausanne (Switzerland), Medellin (Colombia) and in Lille (France) have popped up. They currently have 4 692 Linkedin followers, 1 907 on Twitter and 3 396 on Facebook (which they have not updated recently), but they have no links to their media on their website.The website attracts visitors (mostly from Italy) and currently gets about 1.04 million views per month (which has dropped over the past 6 months from 2 million).

Design: Like most aggregators with a worldwide presence, the layout is minimalistic with a search engine (location and keywords) and some suggested popular searches taking up the whole homepage. The job offers are standardized (and there are no company pages) and the location, the sector, the publication date, the job title and a quick description of the job are visible in the job listing. The filters are relatively limited (the publication date, the source, the company, the proximity). When looking up jobs, you can choose to use the “search for job” page or “search for salary” page (which will filter the jobs by their salary and it includes a graph with salaries for some popular positions).

The job board objective: Neuvoo aims to be the second most visited aggregator job board.

Recruiter observations: To post adverts, there is a “for employers” button at the top of the page. The website has a pay-per-click system which means you aren’t charged for adverts that never get viewed. It’s easy to create an account and an advert, but not so easy to understand how it becomes visible. Pricing is different for every country.

Jobseeker observations: To apply to job offers, if you apply through neuvoo or if you are redirected to a career page, the website asks you to give an e-mail address so that they can send you similar job offers (but it is no compulsory). You don’t actually need to create an account on Neuvoo, but it doesn’t take long to do so.

The job offers: There are currently 441 163 job offers in Italy on Neuvoo, which is 9 000 more than last year.

Reactivity: They answer relatively quickly.

Special features: the taxberg (with fish and whales); the blog (in English); neuvooPedia (with information about a variety of job positions); the salary graphs; job alerts.

Verdict: Neuvoo is interesting for anyone who wants more information about salaries from all over the world. It might be a good idea to check how accurate the numbers are all the same. As for the job offers, it’s a shame the filters are so limited, but they are easy enough to look through.
