About Laborum

Laborum.cl operates as a prominent online job and recruitment portal in Chile, establishing itself as a key player in the country's human capital services industry. Founded in 1999, the company is headquartered in Santiago and has become an operating subsidiary within a larger corporate structure.

Read full description

The platform's core function is to connect job seekers with employers. For individuals, Laborum.cl provides free-of-charge job search and resume posting services, allowing them to browse and filter opportunities by work area, location, and publication date. A mobile application enhances this accessibility, enabling users to manage their CV, track who has viewed it, and receive direct messages from potential employers. The service caters to a broad spectrum of job seekers, from those with no experience to professionals with over 30 years in their field, across all industries.

The company's business model generates revenue primarily through fee-based services offered to employers and recruiters. These services include job posting and access to a searchable database of CVs. This dual approach allows it to maintain a large pool of candidates while monetizing the value of that talent pool to corporate clients. The platform serves a wide range of industries such as finance, marketing, engineering, administration, and technology.

Laborum's history includes a significant milestone on November 17, 2014, when it was acquired by Bumeran, a leading employment website in Latin America. This acquisition was a strategic move by Bumeran to solidify its regional leadership and expand its footprint into Chile. Subsequently, Bumeran and its assets, including Laborum, became part of Navent, a classifieds company based in Buenos Aires. In a major regional transaction in 2021, the real estate assets of Navent were acquired by QuintoAndar, but Navent retained ownership of its job-focused verticals, including Laborum.
