History

change

WhatJobs was launched by Alex Paterson in May 2011 under name AdView.[3][4]

In 2016, WhatJobs got investment from Shane McGourty, a former executive at Monster.com in Ireland, to expand and enhance its services. In 2019, AdView was rebranded as WhatJobs.[5][6] In November 2020, WhatJobs acquired the Spanish job search group Elcurriculum.com.[7] In September 2020, WhatJobs worked with Google for Jobs to start in seven African countries like Ghana, Nigeria, and Kenya.

During COVID-19 in April 2020, WhatJobs supported the British National Health Service (NHS). [8][9] The company also helps the Championship Football Team Reading FC.[10][11]

In 2022, WhatJobs News started a news site for UK business.[12] That year, the company also started working in Italy.[13]

In 2023, WhatJobs chose Heiko Zeutschner, who started a German job site called Gigajob.com, as its new leader.[14]
