BeJobs targets the total existing Online Recruitment & Employment Services Market, initially focusing on Belgium, with potential franchise opportunities in neighboring countries.

Unlike niche job platforms that cater to specific groups, such as part-time workers, flexible jobs, temporary employment, student jobs, or specific industries, BeJobs targets the broader job market. The only initial restriction is in terms of career type. Based on the ISCO classification, the initial focus will be on categories B, C and D. 

 

 

Our non-paying customers are job seekers (unemployed or employed).

 

Our paying customers are employers: large companies, SMEs, and staffing agencies. They currently use traditional job sites and recruitment agencies/platforms to post their jobs or use Interim agencies. We need to reach the HR managers of those companies. Due to BeJobs’ accessibility, user-friendliness, and lower costs, we expect a rapid transition to our platform. Thanks to the government partnership, a steady flow of job postings is already guaranteed.

Employers can choose from five packages with variations on visibility level, posting time and incentives, the lowest level with limited functionality is offered for free.

 

 

 

According to the latest official figures from the Federal government's statistics agency Statbel, 6% of the population between 15 and 64 is unemployed. This corresponds to 294,000 unemployed people between the ages of 15 and 64, of whom 62,000 live in Brussels, 106,000 in Flanders and 126,000 in Wallonia. The same year, according to Statbel, there were 177,000 NEW vacancies, of which 117,000 in Flanders, 38,000 in Wallonia and 22,000 in Brussels. These are the latest figures determined by the federal government, and it concerns purely new vacancies.

In view of the ongoing negotiations with the Flemish government, we first focus on the Flemish market. Here we refer to the statistics of the VDAB site.

The total average number of vacancies (open and new) over the last 5 years is 322,638 vacancies. 

 

Our financial plan is calculated on the average number of new vacancies over the last 5 years, namely 130,000. BeJobs growth year 1-2-3:

 

With 8% jobs online Bejobs can be profitable already in the first year. These figures are of course very conservative as the actual number will be exponentially higher given the positive feedback from the government, which means that the job offerings on the VDAB site will most likely be synchronized with the application, causing the turnover figures to be higher than our calculation.

 

One of the important steps that create the momentum for Bejobs is the reform of the VDAB.

BeJobs will be unique in the market, as no direct competitor offers the same solution.

This has been clearly demonstrated through market research. Straightforward technologies that have become common in everyday life in other industries, such as text recognition, social media, visuals, short videos, AI-driven matching, fast feedback, cookies, automation, and chatbots, have yet to find their way into the employment platform sector. Traditional online job market platforms remain limited to manually providing search functions that match a conventional CV with a vacancy, without further innovation. Through market research and a thorough evaluation of existing solutions, an analysis was conducted on the 10 most relevant applications. However, none of them offer even a fraction of the functionality that the BeJobs concept brings to the table.
