Estonia's MeetFrank job portal focusing on work-life balance

19 May 2021
New recruiting app rates location's attractiveness – profile of Hamburg now online

Many young jobseekers now prioritise work-life balance and standard of living. For this reason, the MeetFrank job portal, launched in 2017 by the same-named Estonian startup, now rates the ecosystem or the environment in which a company is located. More than 450,000 professionals and 3,000 companies use the global recruiting platform, according to the founders. The portal links up applicants and employers and renders job seekers largely anonymous. The MeetFrank app began profiling Hamburg as a city of skilled workers in early May.

 

 

MeetFrank: Mehr Transparenz und Gerechtigkeit auf dem Arbeitsmarkt

Über die Location-Funktion verküpft MeetFrank Standorte mit den Jobsuchenden, um den Bedürfnissen der jungen Talente gerecht zu werden. Besonders höher qualifizierte, passiv Jobsuchende, sollen so erreicht werden. Darüber hinaus will MeetFrank mit mehr Transparenz auf dem Arbeitsmarkt für Arbeitnehmende punkten und den Bewerber*innen eine „sichere Umgebung“ bieten. Das heißt: Weder der derzeitige Arbeitgeber noch Kolleg*innen sollen mitbekommen, dass man sich nach einer neuen Stelle umschaut. Außerdem soll eine anonymisierte Jobsuche vor Diskriminierung schützen. Transparenter müssen sich hingegen die Arbeitgebenden zeigen: Wer bei MeetFrank Stellen ausschreiben will, muss neben dem gewünschten Erfahrungslevel der Bewerber*innen auch das Gehalt angeben, das sie erwartet.

Hamburg and MeetFrank collaborate on city's profile 

The City of Hamburg has co-operated with MeetFrank to attract even more international jobseekers. Hopes are now high that Hamburg can outdo other European cities in terms of work-life balance and innovation. Meanwhile, the team behind MeetFrank are now eyeing Hamburg's job market and aim to make recruitment procedures more transparent and fairer. Hamburg Marketing GmbH, Hamburg Invest and MeetFrank began work on integrating the City of Hamburg on the job portal in late 2020. Hamburg was first profiled on the app on May 3, 2021. Companies such as Vinted/Kleiderkreisel, Bolt, Western Union and Nortal are already using the app to recruit talented jobseekers.
