About Job Today

Job Today is a mobile app for hourly and shift work, used most in Spain, the UK, the US, and Luxembourg. Candidates apply in a few taps and talk to employers by chat. To publish through Join, you need your own Job Today employer account with posting credits and a client secret from your Job Today account manager.

Candidates keep a profile in the app that lists their work experience, and they apply from their phone instead of sending a CV. Job Today groups its jobs into hospitality, retail, delivery, care, events, administration, and more, on full-time, part-time, casual, and student terms. Employers and candidates then talk in the app's chat. That suits a vacancy a manager wants filled this week: weekend waiting staff, a seasonal shop assistant, a delivery driver.

A role that asks for a degree, a licence, or a long track record does better next to a board where candidates search by job title and keep a full CV, or a professional network for salaried positions. Outside Job Today's core markets, where its candidate pool is thinner, the public employment service and a regional hospitality board reach the same kind of candidate.

Job Today job posting requirements

What the ad needs· 3

  • At least the statutory minimum wage

    Pay may not fall below the statutory minimum, and the advert must not contradict working-time law.

  • Authorisation from the hiring company

    Whoever posts must be authorised by the company doing the hiring, and able to answer for the role.

  • Accurate, truthful job details

    Everything the ad states — title, duties, pay, job type — has to be true and match the role, and the employer answers for it.

What to avoid· 6

  • Contact details in the description

    Phone numbers, email addresses and postal addresses do not belong in the description — applications run through the platform's own fields.

  • Web links anywhere in the ad

    The ad may not contain web links of any kind.

  • Refused kinds of work

    Some kinds of work are refused outright: multilevel and network marketing; catalogue sales; betting, forex, and crypto; partnership, collaboration, or franchise offers; work involving sexual content; and modelling.

  • Fees for candidates

    Candidates may never be asked to pay a fee at any point in the process.

  • Discriminatory criteria

    The ad may not screen candidates on protected characteristics such as age, gender, origin, religion, disability or sexual orientation. Local employment law applies on top.

  • Offensive or unlawful content

    Offensive, explicit, defamatory or unlawful text or images are refused or taken down.

Job Today FAQ

Where do I get the client secret for Job Today?
From Job Today rather than from Join. Ask your Job Today account manager to activate the Join integration for your employer account, and they send you the secret. Check that it belongs to the right employer account before you save it under Settings → Integrations → Job Today: once saved, it can only be changed through Join support.
Which of my jobs reach Job Today?
Every job you publish in Join, as long as its location matches a real place and your Job Today account is active with posting credits left. Import filters that your Job Today account manager sets up can hold some jobs back, for example every job in one country. Each job's Postings tab in Join shows whether its ad went through.
What happens if Job Today takes one of my ads offline?
Job Today reviews every job it receives and can take one offline when it breaks its posting rules, for example a phone number or link in the text, or pay below the minimum wage. The job's Postings tab in Join shows when that happens. Join does not put it back online by itself: fix the ad in Join, and if it still does not appear on Job Today once the edit has synced, contact Join support. Breaking the rules can also get your Job Today account suspended, temporarily or for good.
Do my screening questions carry over to Job Today?
Yes, apart from file uploads and cover letters, which Job Today does not take. If a role needs a CV file or a written letter, ask for it at the next stage rather than making it a condition of applying.
Do I need my own Job Today account?
Yes — and it has to be your own. Job Today is reachable only through a contract you hold directly with them; Join cannot open one for you and cannot post there without it. Once it is in place, Join publishes into it.
