Pracuj.pl, one of the best recognized job boards in Poland, started off ten year back. It was set up by the bunch of friends and was primarily the place for persons searching for job opportunities.  Yet its founders promptly realized that the most wanted function for the portal users is job searching and therefore Pracuj.pl turned into a virtual job board, which became the most popular website for the job seekers.
 
For 10 years now, the number of registered users has reached 1.8 million and the average monthly website visits are estimated at over 1.5 million users (source: a research by Megapanel, April 2010). Pracuj.pl reports the highest number of page views (more than 46 million) among Polish job boards and the longest time of website visit (ca. 23 min.).
 
Moreover, the competitive advantage of the website could be proved by the number of job offers placed by employers. Barely in the first six months of 2010, employers has placed over 110 000 job offers in the portal. So far the Pracuj.pl offer has been used by more than 17 000 companies from Poland and abroad.
