I like big challenges, building difficult things, and global projects with the potential to grow and become leaders in their respective markets. With Anuntis the challenge was to transform the company and become a leader in the classifieds market in one country. Today, at Red Arbor we have started to build something great: we have bought 70% of Computrabajo.com, the largest Spanish-language employment website in the world. With a presence in 19 countries, it’s the most visited jobs website in Colombia, Peru and Costa Rica, and ranks second in Mexico, Chile and Argentina.
It’s a project that stimulates me very much and in which I see a big potential. In the last few months I’ve been listening to many investment offers and opportunities. After a thorough analysis, I’ve concluded that this is the perfect project for Red Arbor for the following reasons:
- The company is a global leader, a quality that we like and have in our DNA. In addition to its presence in 19 Latin American countries, Computrabajo.com is the most visited employment website in Colombia, Peru and Costa Rica, and is the second most visited in Mexico, Argentina and Chile. We believe in Computrabajo’s potential to become the leader in the majority of the countries where it operates.
- This is the kind of project we like and with which we have had experience: a high traffic website, just like Anuntis. Currently, Computrabajo.com‘s network has 280 million monthly page views and more than 36 million monthly visitors.
- This operation made us the leader in the online job market in Spanish and Portuguese. If we add the visits of InfoJobs Brazil to those of Computrabajo.com, we have a total of more than 50 million monthly visitors.
- Latin America, an emergent market. I have spent many years working in several Latin American countries: Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Peru, and Chile. The diversity of each country is what makes it even more interesting because it will force us to listen to the personality of each culture and understand the peculiarities of each market. Latin America is not a single market.
- We have a proven track record in the employment industry and hope to apply all of the knowledge acquired over the years managing classifieds websites such as segundamano.es, fotocasa.es, InfoJobs in Spain and Infojobs in Brazil. The brand is well established and we believe now is the moment to consolidate this leadership.
We welcome Computrabajo.com to Red Arbor and we face the project with great enthusiasm. Now, let’s get to work!
