ImmobilienScout24 is the leading real estate portal on the German-speaking internet and the number one when it comes to property. Every month ImmobilienScout24 impresses over five million people with its variety of services, innovative products and valuable advice about real estate matters.

ImmobilienScout24 has developed into a service platform for all property-relevant topics, such as lifestyle and furnishing, building properties and moving house, real estate valuation and homebuilding mortgages. As well as covering residential properties the portal is also the market leader for commercial properties and is meanwhile also Germany’s biggest comparison portal for homebuilding mortgages. For real estate providers ImmobilienScout24 is the most important marketing partner and navigator through the digital world. And even if you’re on the move a lot you can still maintain an overview of property matters relevant to you: with innovative applications for the iPhone, iPad and Android devices the users of ImmobilienScout24 are always one step ahead. More than one million downloads of the ImmobilienScout24 apps underline the market position of the number one site for property.

ImmobilienScout24 as an employer
The success story of ImmobilienScout24 began in 1998 with 12 employees. With the inspirational idea of bringing together providers of real estate and those searching for it via the internet, ImmobilienScout24 revolutionized the market and grew rapidly: in the year 2000 ImmobilienScout24 already employed a staff of 150; the company meanwhile has over 500 employees at its headquarters in Berlin-Friedrichshain. Despite its continuing positive development and constant growth ImmobilienScout24 has remained a flexible, innovative company with flat hierarchies. As the market-leading and continuously fast growing innovative business of the future “internet” industry ImmobilienScout24 is constantly setting new benchmarks in the property sector with high-quality products. The company offers challenging jobs with long-term perspectives in which employees can quickly take on responsibility and achieve goals as part of a creative team. Staff can pursue a career and also combine it with a family at the same time. As well as comprehensive further training programs and career opportunities ImmobilienScout24 also offers flexible working hours, events, sporting activities and a whole lot more – right in the heart of Berlin. In the Germany-wide competition ‘Germany’s Best Employer 2011’ ImmobilienScout24 was awarded with the Great Place to Work® seal of approval.

Aim:
Although virtually everyone in Germany is familiar with the ImmobilienScout24.de online platform, not many of them realize that ImmobilienScout24 is a highly modern German internet company with its headquarters in Berlin and a staff of over 500 - and is therefore a highly attractive employer. With a convincing human resources image campaign ImmobilienScout24 wishes to increase its profile as an employer and access the relevant set of applicants, who are searching for an exciting, contemporary workplace in Germany.
