The employer-branding platform that made company culture something you can actually watch - videos, photography and honest storytelling instead of stock-photo job ads.
Most job listings tell you almost nothing true. A bullet-point wish list, a stock photo of people high-fiving, a salary band left blank. Welcome to the Jungle was built on the opposite bet: show candidates the real room they will sit in, the people they will work with, and the culture they are actually signing up for - and the right people will come.
Founded in Paris in 2015 by Jérémy Clédat and Bertrand Uzeel, Welcome to the Jungle - named, improbably, after the Guns N' Roses anthem - identified a structural gap in recruitment. Job seekers were making one of life's biggest decisions on the thinnest possible information. Employers, meanwhile, had no honest way to stand out beyond posting the same listing everywhere.
The company's answer was to treat employer branding like media production. Instead of a text listing, each company gets an immersive profile: high-production-value video, professional photography, editorial content and unvarnished detail about how the place really works. Observers took to calling it "Netflix for careers."
That media-first approach turned out to be more than a design choice. It became a moat. Anyone can copy a job board's search box; almost no one can cheaply replicate a decade of cinematic company storytelling. Editorial content now drives roughly 60% of the platform's traffic - people arrive to read, and stay to apply, with average sessions running over five minutes.
Underneath the consumer experience sits a serious B2B software business. Welcome to the Jungle Solutions is a SaaS suite that lets companies build and manage their branded profiles, post jobs, run recruitment campaigns and track candidates through an applicant tracking system. By FY2025, SaaS made up roughly 62% of the group's revenue.
Figures compiled from company announcements and press reports (2023–2026). Revenue and ARR figures approximate.
Roughly 3.5 million people a month, plus millions of registered candidates and the ~1.7M+ users who came with Otta. They use the platform to research culture, salary and values before applying - not just to scroll listings. For Gen Z especially, authentic culture has become the top hiring metric.
5,500+ businesses, from startups to enterprises, pay to build employer-branded profiles, post jobs, run campaigns and manage applicants. Accounts using native ATS integrations show around 92% retention - the software gets sticky once it is wired into hiring workflows.
The problem it solves. Recruitment has an information problem on both sides. Candidates can't tell what a workplace is really like until they've already taken the job; employers can't differentiate a genuinely good culture from a well-written listing. Welcome to the Jungle closes that gap by making culture visible and searchable - reducing mismatches that cost both sides time and money.
How it's different. Where Glassdoor leans on anonymous reviews and Indeed and LinkedIn lean on scale and search, Welcome to the Jungle leans on production. Its edge is craft: cinematic profiles and editorial that are expensive to fake and hard to commoditize. That is a different game from being the biggest job board - and a deliberately harder one to copy.
The model is a hybrid: a large consumer media audience creates demand and campaign value, while a B2B SaaS suite - subscriptions, campaigns and an ATS - turns that attention into recurring revenue. Over time the software side has become the engine.
