Qu'est-ce que Job board ?
Definition
A job board is a digital platform connecting employers and candidates through published job postings. They can be generalist (Indeed, LinkedIn, Monster) or sector-specific (BarnAI for qualified Belgian jobs, Stepstone for executives), and are one of the main recruitment channels.
In practice
In Belgium, the main job boards are: Références, Jobat, StepStone, LinkedIn Jobs and the regional platforms (Forem, Actiris, VDAB). Many are connected to ATS systems through programmatic recruiting, which automates multi-channel posting.
Key takeaway
Don't limit yourself to the big generalist boards: sector-specific job boards often offer better quality postings and less competition.
