The problem

Recruiting as an SME: big budget, little control

Difficult to stand out

Amidst all the recruitment frenzy, SMEs do not stand out to talent — on average, only 2,7% an application within 60 days of the classic vacancies.

High costs, fragmented budget

Job boards, interim agencies, and campaigns gobble up budgets, without any guarantee of an influx.

Too little time and resources

No dedicated HR team, so screening and follow-up fall by the wayside — or happen late at night.

Intermediaries are involved first

New talent at VDAB is snatched up lightning-fast by agencies — who then resell it to you for 20–25% of a gross annual salary.

One in six SMEs is currently refusing assignments due to a staff shortage. Jobby changes that: your own recruiter who never sleeps, at a fixed, transparent price — With Jobby, 76% of the vacancies receive applications within 60 days — and for half of them, the first one arrives within just one day.. And new talent at VDAB? That immediately appeals to Jobby — before the intermediaries get involved.

How it works

The first invitations are sending out within 2 minutes.

Jobby reads your vacancy, matches based on location, experience, skills, ambitions, and cultural fit, and gets to work immediately. You only see the result: relevant, screened applications.

Post your vacancy

Online in a few minutes, or automatically via the VDAB connection.

Jobby reads & matches

Competencies, experience, region, languages, ambitions, and cultural fit are matched with 260,000+ profiles from, among others, the talent pools of VDAB, Jobvillage, and our career buddy — and more are added regularly.

To ask?

Just to be clear

What exactly does Jobby cost?

Two plans, both excluding VAT. Slot subscriptions from €1,500 per year (Solo, 1 slot) to €6,000 per year (Scale, 5 slots), each with a match guarantee. Or pay-per-match, without a subscription: €100 per candidate you approve, invoiced monthly in arrears. No recruitment fees, ever. You can also start for free: post your vacancy on JobFunders without an active Jobby search — you will then only receive unsolicited applications.

What is a lock?

One slot represents one vacancy for which Jobby is actively recruiting. You can switch a slot to another vacancy whenever you want (up to 1x per month per slot), for example as soon as a vacancy is filled — up to the maximum of your plan per year.

How does the match guarantee work?

Each subscription includes a guaranteed number of matches (5 for Solo to 40 for Scale). If we do not meet this within your contract period, Jobby will continue working for free until you do.

Which profiles can I find via Jobby?

Jobby searches 260,000+ candidates across multiple talent pools — including VDAB, Jobvillage, and our career buddy's own talent pool, with new pools being added regularly — ranging from manual workers and technicians to office staff and managers, throughout Flanders.

How does Jobby ensure that the matches are really correct?

Jobby matches not on keywords alone, but on dozens of signals simultaneously: region and commuting distance, experience, languages, hard and soft skills, ambitions, and cultural fit. On top of that are smart detections: Jobby recognizes job hoppers, filters out overqualified profiles, and assesses your must-haves before a candidate can even apply. The AI fine-tunes the search strategy per vacancy and adjusts based on the results — making the invitations increasingly precise, without you having to do anything.

What counts as an "approved candidate" in pay-per-match?

A candidate who shows interest in your vacancy and whom you subsequently approve to proceed. If you do not approve anyone, you pay nothing.

Can I arrange the employment contract myself?

Yes. Jobby puts you directly in contact with the candidate — you hire without an intermediary, without a fee, and without a mandatory contract with us.

Where do the candidates apply?

You choose this per vacancy: candidates apply directly on your own website (or in your own ATS), or via the JobFunders platform. If you choose JobFunders, you use our ATS with its own employer page for free — handy if you don't have your own recruitment system.

Find staff while you continue working as usual.

Activate Jobby and the first SMS invitations will be sent within 2 minutes — you will typically see your first matched candidates within 48 hours. Or take the free test first and discover how many relevant candidates Jobby can attract for your vacancy.
