What a reverse recruiter actually does
A traditional recruiter works for the employer and is paid to fill a role. A reverse recruiter works for you: the focus is finding roles that suit you, not filling one company's vacancy.
PBridge works on your side in Portugal. We search across job boards and company career pages, tailor your CV for each role, and apply to the ones you approve. Employers hire you directly.
On your side
We are not paid by employers, so the only goal is roles that fit you.
Wider than one agency
We search across major job boards, applicant tracking systems and company career pages.
You stay in control
Nothing is sent without your approval.
Reverse recruiter in Portugal
How a reverse recruiter fits the way hiring works in Portugal
Recruitment agencies in Portugal are paid by employers and work from the vacancies they hold. Many roles, especially at smaller companies and in the public sector, never pass through an agency at all; they sit on the company's own careers page or a national job board.
We start from you. Each week we search company careers pages, the job boards people in Portugal actually use, and agency adverts together, then you choose which roles we apply to.
Company careers pages
Direct employers in Portugal, including the ones agencies never list.
Local job boards
The boards candidates in Portugal use, not only LinkedIn.
No exclusivity
Keep working with your own recruiters. Tell us who already has your CV and we avoid sending it twice.
How it works
You approve. We apply. Every week.
How our reverse recruiter works in Portugal
Nothing is sent without your approval, and every application is tracked with proof. This is the difference between PBridge and auto-apply tools that fire your CV at everything.
01 · Onboard once
Upload your CV and tell us your target roles, locations and salary. We rebuild your CV and send it to you to confirm.
02 · Approve your weekly list
At least 50 matched roles in Portugal arrive on your dashboard each week. You approve the ones you want in a few minutes.
03 · We tailor and submit
For each approved role we tailor your CV and cover letter, complete the employer's application form and submit it in your name.
04 · You see the proof
Each submission is logged on your dashboard with a confirmation. Replies and interview requests reach you directly.

Questions
Before you start
Anything else? Email support@pbridgeco.com and our team will come back to you.
Can I use a reverse recruiter and recruitment agencies in Portugal at the same time?
Yes. Tell us which agencies and employers already hold your CV so the same role is not applied to twice.
Do you cover roles that are only advertised in Portuguese?
Only if you work in Portuguese. Otherwise your list is built from roles advertised for English speakers.
How is this different from a recruitment agency?
Agencies work for employers and only put you forward for their own vacancies. We work for you across the whole market.
Do employers pay you?
No. We do not take fees from employers or a share of your salary.
Do I need Portuguese?
Not for many tech and international roles. We filter out roles that require Portuguese unless you speak it.
Is it allowed to have someone apply for me?
Yes. Applications are made in your name, with your real experience and documents, and you approve every role before we apply. Employers hire you directly.
Ready to stop applying and start interviewing?
