Frequently asked questions.
Everything important about Jonder – answered briefly and clearly.
General
What is Jonder?
Jonder is a recruiting platform that flips the usual process: professionals create an anonymous profile, and companies apply to them – including salary range, role and contact person right in the first message.
How is Jonder different from a job board?
On a job board, you search for openings and apply. On Jonder, you get found. You use contact rules to decide who's allowed to reach out to you, and then choose whether to reply.
Which professions is Jonder for?
We started in construction and architecture. Today Jonder covers 44 professional fields, including real estate, skilled trades and technical roles, IT, commercial professions, sales, logistics, healthcare, and law and finance.
Professionals
What does Jonder cost for professionals?
Nothing. Your profile, requests, chat, appointments and contact rules are permanently free for professionals. Optionally, you can add upgrades like "Highlight" or "Boost" for a few euros.
Can my current employer see my profile?
Not if you add them to your block list. Your profile is also anonymous by default: companies see your qualifications, but neither your name nor your current employer, until you reveal both during a conversation.
What are contact rules?
Contact rules let you define who's allowed to reach you – for example, only verified direct employers, above a minimum salary, with mandatory details about the role. Messages that don't meet your criteria are never delivered in the first place.
What do Highlight and Boost do?
"Highlight" visually highlights your profile in search results for seven days. "Boost" puts your profile at the top of matching searches for 24 hours. Both upgrades are one-time purchases with no subscription.
What does the blue tie mean?
The blue tie shows that Jonder has verified your identity and qualifications. Companies can see that your profile is genuine – while your anonymity is still fully preserved.
Companies
What does Jonder cost for companies?
There are three plans: Basic at €99, Premium at €499 and All inclusive at €899 per month, each plus VAT. A one-time setup fee of €99 applies. With the Equal Rights Seal, you pay 50% less per month.
What is the Equal Rights Seal?
Companies with the seal search in blind mode: name, photo, free-text fields and dates that could reveal gender, age or origin are hidden. Only qualifications are evaluated. In return, the monthly fee drops by 50%, and candidates see the seal on every request.
Why can't I see some candidates?
Candidates set their own contact rules, such as "verified companies only" or "no recruitment agencies". The search only shows profiles that are reachable for your company. Verification is included from the Premium plan onward.
Can Jonder be connected to our applicant tracking system?
Yes. The All inclusive plan includes a REST API and webhooks. New requests, replies, approvals and confirmed appointments are delivered to your system automatically. You'll find the documentation under "Developers".
How long is the contract term?
Plans can be cancelled monthly. You can change your plan yourself at any time under "Subscription & billing".
Privacy
Where is the data stored?
On a server in Germany. Candidate data is anonymized until released, documents are only accessible to authorized conversation partners, and every access by a company is logged.
Can I delete or export my data?
Yes. In your settings, you can export your data as a file at any time and delete your account completely – exactly as the GDPR provides for.
Is Jonder accessible?
We follow the WCAG 2.1 (Level AA) guidelines. The "Accessibility" menu at the top of every page lets you adjust font size, contrast, font, spacing, animations and a read-aloud function.
