What is jobtastic?
jobtastic is a social media recruiting agency based in Coesfeld, North Rhine-Westphalia, that runs job ads on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn and pre-qualifies applicants for employers. The company behind the brand is jobtastic GmbH (managing director Erol Orahovac, Coesfeld local court, HRB 21902). According to the provider's website, as of October 2026, the agency has operated since 2018 and serves “over 1,000 companies from all industries”.
The offer is a classic agency service: jobtastic builds the ads and landing pages, runs the campaigns and hands applications over through a dashboard. One distinguishing feature is application by WhatsApp, which the provider puts front and center.
Who is jobtastic for?
The target group is employers hiring frontline and skilled trade workers without their own social media team. The provider's industry list names skilled trades, care, logistics, hospitality and agriculture. Typical customers are small and mid-sized businesses that want to fill roles quickly and prefer to hand off campaign work instead of learning it.
It is a weaker fit for companies that want to keep ads, budget and data in their own hands, or for teams that mostly search for specialists and managers through active sourcing.
Core features
- Social media ads: campaigns on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn, with AI-supported sociodemographic targeting for active and passive job seekers.
- Job landing pages: dedicated pages in the employer's corporate design instead of a link to a job board.
- Applicant dashboard: a central view of incoming applications and their handling.
- WhatsApp recruiting: applicants are contacted and pre-qualified over WhatsApp. According to the provider the solution is GDPR-compliant and needs no separate business phone.
- Automated applicant communication and employer branding: as add-on building blocks.
Key figures according to the provider's website
| Claim | Value (provider statement, as of October 2026) |
|---|---|
| Companies served | over 1,000 |
| Campaigns in total | over 10,000 |
| Applications generated | over 65,000 |
| Social media users reachable in Germany | over 60 million |
| WhatsApp response rate | over 90 % |
| Award | DRX Award 2024 (recruiting campaign category) |
All figures come from the provider itself and were not independently verified. The response rate refers to WhatsApp messages, not to the number of people finally hired. Spread over more than 10,000 campaigns, 65,000 applications work out to a little over six per campaign; the provider does not say how many of them were qualified or led to a hire.
Pricing
jobtastic does not publish prices. The website points to a free demo and an individual quote, so there is no reliable statement on monthly cost, setup fees or ad budgets.
For market context: a comparison article by Dr. Web puts success-based social recruiting agency models at roughly €50 to €300 per application, retainers at roughly €1,000 to €3,500 per month, setup at roughly €1,000 to €3,000 and ad budgets at roughly €500 to €1,500 per month. These are market ranges, not statements about jobtastic.
Reviews
At the time of research (October 2026) we found no review page with a verifiable sample for jobtastic that we could cite here. Publicly documented are the DRX Award 2024 and the agency's own presentation. If you need references, ask the provider for customers in your own industry and region, and ask about cost per qualified application and hire rate.
Strengths
- On the market since 2018 and with a very large number of campaigns, so plenty of experience with ads for frontline roles.
- WhatsApp as an application channel lowers the barrier for candidates without a CV at hand.
- Landing pages in the employer's design instead of a third-party job board.
- One-stop agency service: ads, pages, dashboard.
Limits
- No published prices, so no comparison before an initial call.
- Agency model: campaign control sits with the service provider, not the employer.
- Target channels per the website are Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn; other channels are not named as core offering.
- Public information does not say whether applicants end up in an employer-owned talent pool that stays with the employer for good.
What to check before signing with any agency
A short checklist is worth using with any social recruiting agency, regardless of provider:
- Is the ad budget included in the price or charged on top, and how large is the markup?
- Who owns the ad account, landing page and applicant data after the contract ends?
- Is there a minimum term, and what happens if no suitable applications arrive?
- How is “qualified” defined, and who decides?
- Is there a data processing agreement (DPA), and where is applicant data stored?
- How does the agency handle Meta's “employment” special ad category, which restricts targeting by age, gender and postcode?
Alternatives
In the German-speaking market, TalentBait, Social Natives, talentsconnect, HeyJobs, Workwise and fachkraefterecruiting.com are often named for comparison. They differ mainly in pricing model (flat fee, budget plus markup, success fee) and in how much of the campaign work stays with the employer.
