Job Today, stylized in uppercase as JOB TODAY, is a digital platform developed in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg that serves as a network for employment opportunities. The service is available in multiple countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, and Spain, using the internet and mobile apps to connect employers with potential employees based on their location.
There are chat and video calls available between employers and job seekers. Instead of traditional resumes or CVs, user profiles are employed.
It tends to attract a younger demographic.
History
