VERDICT

Should I use Jobsplus?

Find a Job - jobsplus.gov.mt

Depends. Use it if you are a jobseeker or employer operating in Malta — it is free and it is the official channel. Skip it entirely if you hire or work outside Malta, or need modern recruiting software.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 30+ public sources; user satisfaction evidence is scarce — Glassdoor reviews are from employees, not users.

Best for

  • Remote-first companies hiring outside Malta
  • Anyone confusing it with Ireland's separate JobsPlus wage scheme

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Employers must register and comply; 641 were fined for breaches in 2020

medium

Users report long waits after submitting feedback or applications

low

No clean data access — expect clunky exports; scrapers fill the gap

low

Don't confuse with Ireland's JobsPlus wage subsidy; different country, different scheme
