JobTeaser Brand Guidelines: Company Videos, Campus Career Centres & Graduateland

Two founders, a video idea and the first job.

JobTeaser was founded in Paris in 2008 by Adrien Ledoux and Nicolas Lombard, according to both the English and French Wikipedia articles on the company. Its offices are in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. From the start it aimed at a narrow audience: students looking for an internship and recent graduates looking for their first job.

The first idea, English Wikipedia says, was to let companies make videos about themselves, their employees’ daily work and their culture, so that students could understand what a job looked like before applying. The same article says video content about companies and the jobs they offer appears across all of its platforms.

The business model changed in 2013. That year JobTeaser began building career centres for French business and engineering schools: online platforms carrying the institution’s own branding, which replaced the school’s old careers service with JobTeaser’s software. English Wikipedia names the business school ESSEC as the opening partner. The arrangement is two-sided: the platform is free for schools and students, and the revenue comes from companies that pay to reach them. JobTeaser also began publishing a yearly “Employment Barometer,” comparing the jobs and sectors that recruit most with those that students and young graduates find most appealing.

Funding followed in stages. French Wikipedia says that in January 2015 JobTeaser raised money from Seventure Partners, and that later that year it signed its first partnership with a public university, the Université de Nantes. A second round in May 2017 brought in Alven Capital, Idinvest Partners and Korelya Capital alongside Seventure, and in September 2019 a third round was led by Highland Europe with the existing investors. By January 2018, French Wikipedia says, 300 institutions and 700,000 students and young graduates were registered on the platform.

Career centres, multiposting and AI matching.

JobTeaser’s product sits in two places at once. There is a public website for students, and there are career-centre platforms for each partner school or university, built into the student portals that French Wikipedia calls Espaces Étudiants. On its homepage in November 2026 the company calls itself the career centre of more than 800 European schools and universities, integrated directly into the student portal. English Wikipedia says partner institutions can use their platform to share extra job offers and on-campus events with their own students.

For employers the core service is multiposting, English Wikipedia says: a company pays once to post a job across many institutions that use the career centre, instead of approaching each school separately. French Wikipedia adds two newer tools. TalentConnect, launched in 2024, collects and manages CVs at school recruitment fairs and company events. TalentMatch, described in a company press release, is a matching tool that lets recruiters search for and approach young candidates directly; JobTeaser says it was built in-house by its own AI engineers, hides names, photos and contact details until a recruiter makes contact, and is audited for bias.

The company has also given itself a stated purpose. French Wikipedia says JobTeaser became a société à mission in December 2021. In 2023 it set up a “Gen Z Lab” to study how younger generations relate to work, and in April 2024 it launched “Career Explorer,” a blended training programme on career guidance, with Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, INSA Lyon and Université Lumière Lyon 2, supported by the national France 2030 programme and run by the Caisse des Dépôts group.

Its press room now publishes regular studies on student hiring in France and Germany, including research on internships, apprenticeships and the skills asked of junior staff.

How job boards present themselves.

For a designer, a job board is mostly a search box and a list: a field for the job, a field for the place and a button, followed by a column of job cards giving the title, the employer, the location and the date. Where that pattern is shared, the brand has to work in the small places: the wordmark at the top of the page, the colour of the button, the app icon on a phone and the tone of the alerts that arrive by email.

The names do a lot of the work. Many are plain words or short compounds that say what the site is for, and some companies build their advertising directly on the name: SEEK, for example, has long used the line “SEEK and you shall find,” according to the trade title Campaign Brief. Others keep separate names market by market: SEEK’s group runs Jobstreet and Jobsdb sites in Asia alongside SEEK itself, according to its own website.

The second audience is the employer. Job sites sell advertising, résumé search and matching tools to hirers, and their corporate pages speak to recruiters as much as to candidates, with products for job posting, candidate search and employer branding presented next to the public job search.

Ownership is part of the story too. Many of these brands belong to larger groups, and their corporate pages list the countries and sites they run: SEEK’s about page names marketplaces in eight countries, and after the 2025 sale of CareerBuilder + Monster, the new owner BOLD listed CareerBuilder and Monster among its brands, HR Dive reported. This guide sets out who founded each brand, who owns it now and what has changed hands, and treats colours and type as an unofficial interpretation rather than an official specification.

Munich, the Nordics and a new executive team.

Expansion outside France started with Germany. English Wikipedia says JobTeaser opened an office in Munich, and that by May 2017 it was active in France, Germany, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and Luxembourg.

A bigger step came in September 2022, when JobTeaser bought Graduateland, a Danish early-career platform, the Paris start-up publication Maddyness reported on 20 September 2022. Ledoux told the magazine that the two companies had been talking since 2015, when they were of similar size, and that there had been no talk of an acquisition at first. He also recalled that Graduateland’s founder, Patrick Lund, had the idea for it during an exchange at a business school in Paris. After the deal, Ledoux said, the priority in the Nordic region was to develop Sweden, Finland and Norway, where JobTeaser already had a network. Maddyness reported that the combined business would give more than 5 million students at over 750 European schools and universities access to job offers from more than 250,000 recruiters. In the same article, Lombard was named as co-founder and chief financial officer.

In October 2024 the company announced a new executive team: Juliette Laborie became managing director, Arnaud Cousteix joined as chief sales officer and Benjamin Aubertel became chief technology and product officer. Ledoux kept the role of chief executive, while Lombard moved to special projects, including the growth of JobTeaser in the German market, the company said. Its press room now says it is active in 25 countries with more than 250 employees, and integrated into 800 schools and universities.

For a design guide, JobTeaser shows a brand that lives inside other institutions’ portals, so its identity has to sit quietly next to each school’s own branding while the employer side carries the JobTeaser name. Compare Stepstone, another European job platform, and XING, a European professional network. For this guide we use an ink blue, campus cream and a coral accent with a sans, an unofficial interpretation; no product or logo is reproduced.
