Simply Post Jobs

In recent posts, we showed how we understand the job market – the idea, the mechanics, the data. Now we show what we're building from it.

Since January 2025, any SME can post jobs on Jobmaps for free. Around 1,000 positions have been created since then, over 300 companies maintain their profile.

Three value propositions: Simple. Visible. Free.

This time: Simply post jobs.

Our goal from the start: A job posting must go live faster than your coffee gets cold. That means: describe the position, define a few questions, publish – done. No account setup beforehand, no onboarding call, no payment details before anything happens. Anyone who wants to fill a position should be able to just start – and get a job posting online without restrictions, properly structured.

The classic process: Open 50 CVs, read them, evaluate them. Only in the interview do you realize it doesn't fit – wrong expectations, wrong timing, wrong idea of the job.

We asked ourselves: What if you clarified the important questions beforehand?

On Jobmaps, applicants answer a short questionnaire before uploading their CV. Employers define the questions themselves: availability, workload, salary expectations, specific requirements.

Employers see at a glance whether requirements are met – without opening every dossier. Applicants can reach out even without a desktop PC and PDF at hand. And they immediately see what really matters – not a long list of "nice to have", "optional" and "important", where it's unclear what actually counts.che ist.

The principle is familiar from the housing market: First you show interest, then comes the viewing, then the dossier. Not the other way around. The questionnaire is the filter – only those who fit get through.

An example: A startup was looking for a leadership role. 1,026 job views, 177 applications started, 57 completed questionnaires, 21 video call invitations, 4 favorites. Six hours of conversations for four strong candidates. The questionnaire filters – not HR.

Anyone who has managed more than five applications in Outlook knows the feeling: Who applied when? What was the last status? Where's the CV from that person who was actually good?

Excel helps for a while. Then it gets confusing. Then mistakes happen. Then someone reaches out, and you don't remember who they were.

On Jobmaps, everything is in one place: applications with status, dossiers with CVs, communication with history. One glance is enough to know where you stand. This sounds trivial. But for SMEs recruiting alongside daily business, having an overview isn't a nice-to-have – it's the prerequisite for staying capable of action at all.

In many SMEs, one person decides on hires alone – even though the team will work together later. That's why we built in a messenger, for direct communication with applicants. And comments for internal coordination. With the new team function, the line can decide directly, without everything running through one person.

Speed is a signal. In our own hiring, we observed: The candidates we hired responded fastest. But to be able to respond quickly, you need a process that enables it.

Simple process. Live in minutes. Questions before CV. Everything in one place.

That's what we mean by "Simply post jobs".

The process is one side. The next post is about visibility.
