Founder-led job search engine reinvests profits to build WhatJobs.ai and challenge industry incumbents across 77 countries.
WhatJobs Ltd, a global job advertising platform, today announced a record net profit of $1.2 million (USD) for the 2024 financial year. The company is reinvesting its profits into building WhatJobs.ai, a next-generation, AI-native job search engine designed to reshape the online recruitment market and take on industry incumbents.
Now operating in 77 countries and 24 languages, WhatJobs has grown without external funding—scaling fast through proprietary technology, international execution, and a laser focus on user experience. With WhatJobs.ai, the business is entering a new phase of intelligent automation, real-time career matching, and predictive job search technology.
🔮 The Future Is WhatJobs.ai
WhatJobs.ai will begin replacing the company’s infrastructure in 2025, with full transition planned by the end of 2026. The platform will combine advanced machine learning, real-time data matching, and multilingual precision to serve jobseekers and employers with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
“Profitability was always a stepping stone, not the destination,” said Alex Paterson, CEO and founder of WhatJobs. “This result gives us the firepower to build what’s next: a truly intelligent platform that anticipates the needs of both jobseekers and employers. We’re not just adding AI features — we’re rebuilding the core from the ground up.”
The board is currently evaluating a 2026 capital raise to support the global rollout of WhatJobs.ai and accelerate its market penetration.
📊 Traction That Drives Confidence
WhatJobs’ 2024 growth was powered by deep product engagement and global demand:
- 30,000+ jobseekers register daily through its AI-driven resume system
- The average listing attracts 12+ applications globally, with 22 in the U.S. market
- Users apply for 4 jobs in under 3 minutes on average — thanks to a clean, mobile-first UX
- The company’s employment news service reaches 50,000+ daily subscribers
“Our global, agile structure means we operate faster than our competitors,” said Shane McGourty, Co-Founder and Managing Director. “But this isn’t just about speed — we’re now building a technology core that they won’t be able to easily replicate.”
