Searching for a new job in a country that you are unfamiliar with can be challenging. That’s why a list of the best job portals in Germany would definitely help.
Luckily Germany offers many different and sometimes even niche platforms that you can use for your research.
My personal experience with those platforms is, most of the time, excellent. They are easy to use and understand, even if you are not yet that familiar with the German language.
Learning German up to a certain level is required in the long run because most of the listings that you will discover are in German only.
From my experience, jobs listings written in German also require you to speak and write in German. As soon as you start working with the specific companies.
Key takeaways
1. There are various job search engines available in Germany.
2. Some of them are more convenient, because they are in English.
3. Among the best job portals in Germany you’ll find websites that are highly specialized in specific professions.
4. On Jobvector, for example, you can find specific job listings if you are an engineer, IT specialist, doctor, or scientist.
5. Adzuna or meinestadt.de aggregate jobs from other platforms but also offer their exclusive job listings.
6. It might make sense to use one many different platforms while conducting your search for a new opportunity in Germany.
7. Some jobs are easier to get if you are already connected to someone in the company you want to work for.
8. For that reason, it would make sense to search for a job and have an account with Xing and LinkedIn, as those are the most used professional networks in Germany.

Monster Deutschland
Short description of Monster
Monster was founded more than 20 years ago in the US and quickly expanded its operations to Germany.

yourfirm.de
Short description of yourfirm.de
yourfirm.de is a job platform that specifically offers jobs in “KMUs” or medium-sized companies.
Their USP is that they are not listing any jobs for temporary employment agencies called “Zeitarbeitsfirmen” in German.
This platform might be an excellent place to start your job search as you should not look for temporary employment in Germany.
After all, having a job offer for a permanent position in Germany is beneficial for your visa application.
In addition to that, you will not find any human resources consulting companies listing any jobs there, which is another benefit of using this platform.
The German “Mittelstand” or medium-sized companies are the backbones of Germany’s industries, often with a long history and much stability.
Why search for jobs in Germany with yourfirm.de?
- Direct application available as soon as you opened a free account with yourfirm.de and added your CV
- Platform available in German only but accessible to use

Jobbörse Arbeitsagentur
Short description of Arbeitsagentur
The “Jobbörse” of the “Arbeitsagentur”, is the only official job search engine initiated by the state. This employment agency usually helps German residents whenever they face unemployment.
This search engine is available in German only.
It offers various opportunities in agriculture, forestry, horticulture, construction, food, gastro jobs, and jobs in the health sector, logistics, IT, and sciences.
But why should you search on the “Arbeitsagentur” platform?
One of the main reasons is that job listings on this platform are sometimes not to be found anywhere else.
Most job listings link to the website of the respective companies offering the position so that you can apply directly with them.
Why we considered Jobbörse one of the best job portals in Germany?
- Platform is relatively easy to use
- Listings are sometimes not to be found on other platforms
- You can add your job seeker profile on the “Arbeitsagentur Jobbörse” and receive notifications whenever a new job is posted based on your saved searches
- Offers more blue-collar jobs than white-collar jobs
jobs.de
Short description of jobs.de
jobs.de is a platform from Job Scout 24. As with other platforms, you can either upload your CV or create your online CV directly on jobs.de.
It will also allow you to use a “quick apply” function for most of their listings based on your profile.
Jobs.de does not aggregate listings from other platforms and has listings that are hardly shared on any other platform, so that it might be beneficial to search for your first job in Germany.
Unfortunately, the platform is only provided in German, but the search functionality is easy to understand.
Why search for jobs in Germany with jobs.de?
- Offers job search based on the profession but also based on companies
- Unique job offers that you will not necessarily find on other platforms
- Job searches are perimeter-based, either around cities or states
- Jobs.de does unfortunately not offer a specific app
- Has it’s explicitly focused on blue-collar jobs but also offers some white-collar job listings
kalaydo.de
Short description of kalaydo.de
kalaydo.de might look a bit confusing right from the start, but it has some specials to offer that you do not necessarily find somewhere else.
The platform does not aggregate from other platforms and shows that you won’t find on any other job platform mentioned above for many search requests results.
I like that they do not require you to register, as long as you are not using their “Merkliste” or watchlist.
The caveat is that you have to fill out every application individually. But on the other hand, it requires you to put more time and effort into your application, which can be beneficial.
As with many other platforms, kalaydo.de does not offer an English version of its website, but the interface and functionality are easy to understand.
There is no app available for Android or iOS.
Why search for jobs in Germany with kalaydo.de?
- kalaydo.de does have many alternative job listings in its database compared with other platforms
- Offers blue and white-collar jobs alike
- Perimeter based job searches based on zip codes, cities, or states
- Allows you to search for specific companies offering a job
arbeitnow.com/de: Among the best job portals in Germany
Short description of arbeitnow.com
Arbeitnow.com is a very sleek platform that allows you to search for jobs based on job titles and cities within your desired country.
Make sure that you select Germany as your starting point.
What I find very interesting is that some listings do show salary expectations or at least a range which makes the interviewing process a bit easier.
If you are not yet that familiar with searching for job listings in German, you can also try their English language version here.
This makes the platform almost unique and may be easier for some.
Still, job listings will be displayed in the language the companies added them to.
For some reason, arbeitnow.com is specialized in more tech-savvy people, so most of the jobs are marketing, development, or its jobs, but sometimes you also find some other listings there.
Why search for jobs in Germany with arbeitnow.com?
- German and English language version available for job search – so more straightforward for you to navigate on the platform if you are not yet that familiar with German
- Offers specific jobs for English speaking employees here
- Search engine that specializes in marketing, IT, and development jobs
- Only white-collar jobs are available on arbeitnow.com
staufenbiel.de
Short description of staufenbiel.de
staufenbiel.de does have a long history of offering job listings specifically for job starters after their bachelor’s, master’s, doctors degree, but also for trainees, interns, and student workers.
The platform itself offers only a relatively small number of job listings, usually roughly 3,000.
It is also well known amongst more prominent companies that can give you a head start in your professional career.
The search itself is based more on professional categories.
For example, if you’d like to work as a content marketing manager in a company, you will have to search for “content marketing” instead.
This platform is no job listing aggregator like others in my list and offers unique job listings that you won’t find in many other places.
The application process can sometimes be finished on staufenbiel.de directly.
If not, you will be redirected to the application page that belongs to the company that offers the job.
Why search for jobs in Germany with staufenbiel.de?
- One of the best search engines, particularly for job starters or people with less experience in their profession
- Easy to use platform
- Search by keywords as mentioned above
- Has jobs other platforms most likely won’t have
- Only available in German and does not offer an app for Android or iOS
- Mostly white-collar jobs available on this platform
stellenanzeigen.de
Short description of stellenanzeigen.de
stellenanzeigen.de is one of Germany’s oldest job platforms and offers the cleanest interface.
Besides the job search, it also offers a specific career newsletter and a “Gehaltsreport” or salary report to estimate what you should ask for when applying for a position.
Based on my research, as this platform has such a long history, many companies seem to decide to post jobs on stellenanzeigen.de.
The platform itself is only available in German, but due to its simplicity and well-made usability, I recommend you to give it a try.
Why we chose stellenanzeigen.de among the best job portals in Germany?
- Job search by city, zip code, or region based on different available perimeters
- the platform does not require any signup to send an application as long as you are not adding any job listings to your list of favorites
- Offers white and blue-collar jobs alike, with a more significant focus on white-collar jobs
Conclusion
I hope you find this list of the top 15 best job portals in Germany useful.
As you can see, there are many different job platforms in Germany that you can use.
If you are searching for jobs for a particular profession, you might find one or the other job search engine in your list worth being used.
