Comparison
Lunigi vs Federal Employment Agency
The Bundesagentur für Arbeit runs Germany’s largest public job board. Lunigi delivers a small daily set of AI-safe roles by email. Here is how the two differ.
TL;DR
The Federal Employment Agency’s job board is comprehensive, free and embedded in Germany’s public benefits and placement system. Lunigi is a private service with a small curated daily selection focused on future-resilient roles.
Where the two services differ
The Bundesagentur is the formal home for many career steps: unemployment benefits, placements, advice and the very large BA job board. If you are between roles or want a thorough public-sector overview, it is hard to beat.
Lunigi does not compete with the agency itself; it offers a different search routine – daily, compact and pre-filtered toward AI-safe roles. The two channels work well together.
Side-by-side
| Criterion | Lunigi | Federal Employment Agency |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery model | A daily email with 5–7 curated roles dropped into your inbox. | Web portal, mobile app, in-person advice and official placement proposals. |
| Job source & reach | Aggregated across several sources, then curated and filtered – with a focus on AI-resilient roles. | Very high and broad – training, helper, blue-collar and academic roles. |
| Personalisation | Profile-driven plus a feedback loop: reply "fits" / "does not fit" and the bot refines selections. | Online profile; algorithmic suggestions plus personal counselling. |
| Daily effort | A few minutes – review the curated emails, optionally send a short reply. | Medium – active searching, plus reviewing placement proposals. |
| Pricing for job seekers | From €7/month, 7-day free trial with two job emails included. | Entirely free. |
| Best for | Professionals in education, social sectors, public service and consulting – people with little time to search. | Very broad – entrants, career changers, jobseekers, skilled and helper roles. |
| AI-resilience of roles | Explicit focus on roles with human interaction, responsibility and low automation risk. | No editorial filter for automation risk. |
| Language & region | German first (DACH region), English UI available. | German, focused on Germany. |
