Our tool
KILebenslauf
KILebenslauf sources its posts from the career pages of employers and LinkedIn. Fresh ads are gathered daily, and those that have expired are removed every day. You have the option to filter by state, sector, language, and work model, covering on-site, hybrid, and remote positions. The advantage is found in the next step: for every listing, the AI writes a CV suited to that specific job description, in a matter of minutes.

We searched Google Germany for "jobbörse" and took the job sites near the top, German before international, plus XING and LinkedIn. On 3 November 2026 we opened each site, read its terms and took a screenshot. StepStone’s job page could not be reached again after the first visit, so it has no screenshot.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best job site in Germany?
There isn’t just one. The Federal Employment Agency’s Jobsuche is official and includes Ausbildung, StepStone and Indeed provide volume, service.bund.de covers the public sector, and XING and LinkedIn cover the network.
Should I use several job sites?
That is correct: the advertisements overlap only to a certain extent. The crucial step is sending a matching CV for each job, and that is the way KILebenslauf saves time.
