Mediahuis has become the sole shareholder of HORS, the holding company behind Belgian career platform Jobat.

HORS was established in 2019 as a joint venture between Mediahuis and DPG Media, focusing on online recruitment and employer branding activities. Mediahuis already held a majority stake of 51% in HORS and has now acquired full ownership following DPG Media’s exit.

Jobat launches AI-powered Qualified Leads

This autumn, Jobat is launching Qualified Leads, an AI-powered solution designed to meet employers’ and recruiters’ growing demand for a smaller but higher-quality pool of candidates. Several AI agents analyse Jobat’s extensive Talent Pool and identify the candidates who best match each vacancy. This allows recruiters to focus exclusively on the most suitable and motivated candidates.

Mark Maldeghem, Managing Director HORS/Jobat: “Over the past few years, Jobat has developed into a strong, relevant and innovative platform for both employers and candidates. In the years ahead, we want to further strengthen that innovative approach by continuing to diversify our offering. With Qualified Leads, we are taking an important step forward and reinforcing our position as a leading and innovative partner in the Belgian recruitment market.”
