About meinestadt

meinestadt runs a local portal for every German town, where jobs sit next to property, cars and local news. A vacancy therefore appears where people read about their own town, and that is what an employer needs when a role at a fixed site is filled from the surrounding area.

meinestadt organises its job market by place: by its own count it runs 11,000 local job and apprenticeship markets and draws 2.3 million visits a month. It describes its readers as skilled workers with vocational training, most of them not actively looking, and puts that passive audience at 12 million. Such a reader weighs a nearby job against their current one, which makes meinestadt a fit for site-bound work in workshops, care, shops and warehouses, where address, shifts and pay decide.

For a role hired nationally, or one that asks candidates to relocate, put the weight on a national generalist board, where people already searching across Germany look by job title and town. For a local role, run one beside meinestadt rather than instead of it: the generalist catches the active searchers, meinestadt the people who live nearby and are not looking.
