In short
On 26 October 2026, Klaro (12,063 adverts) and Jobclerk (10,263) showed the most doctor jobs in Germany, because both read employer career sites directly. They were also the only two sites with a filter for jobs that accept a temporary licence (Berufserlaubnis). Klaro was the only one with an English interface. praktischArzt and Klaro help write the CV and cover letter.
The comparison
| Site | Doctor jobs shown | English interface | Berufserlaubnis filter | Specialty / state filters | Application help |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Klaro (klaro.tools) | 12,063 adverts from 2,737 employers (daily count) | Yes | Yes (148 adverts) | Yes / yes | One-click apply on many adverts; German CV and cover letter writer |
| Jobclerk (jobclerk.de) | 10,263 adverts from 2,142 employers | No | Yes (123 adverts) | Yes / yes | Links to the employer's original advert |
| praktischArzt (praktischarzt.de) | 5,987 in its doctor job list (11,712 jobs site-wide, including other portals) | No | No | Yes / yes | CV generator and cover letter generator |
| Deutsches Ärzteblatt (aerztestellen.aerzteblatt.de) | 996 doctor adverts, including Switzerland and Austria | No | No | Yes / yes | Link to create a CV |
| Bundesagentur für Arbeit (Jobsuche) | 977 results for "Assistenzarzt" (2,152 for "Arzt/Ärztin") | No | No | No / no (place and radius) | Track the status of applications after logging in |
| StepStone (stepstone.de) | 474 results for "Assistenzarzt" | No (only a filter for adverts written in English) | No | No / yes | Quick apply on many adverts |
| Marburger Bund (MBZ-Stellenmarkt) | 5 adverts | No | No | No / no | Service page for foreign-trained physicians |
The counts measure different things: Klaro and Jobclerk count doctor adverts, the Federal Employment Agency and StepStone count search results for a word, and praktischArzt's site-wide number includes adverts from other portals. Compare them as an order of size, not to the last job. StepStone's 29,352 results for "Arzt" include IT and logistics jobs, so the table uses its "Assistenzarzt" count.
Which site for which doctor
- You trained outside the EU and hold or expect a Berufserlaubnis: Klaro and Jobclerk, the only sites that filter for adverts accepting it.
- You want the widest list in one place: Klaro or Jobclerk, which read hospital career sites directly instead of waiting for paid adverts.
- You want help with the German CV and cover letter: Klaro or praktischArzt.
- You also look at Switzerland or Austria: Deutsches Ärzteblatt or praktischArzt.
- You want the public employment service: the Federal Employment Agency's Jobsuche.
Most doctors use two sites: one wide list and one for documents. Klaro's own count of open doctor jobs is in the monthly report.
How we checked
Klaro publishes this page and is one of the sites compared. Each competitor's numbers and features were read on its own site on 26 October 2026 between about 20:30 and 20:55 Berlin time; Klaro's numbers come from its report of the same day. Where a site did not show a feature on the pages read, the table says No. Sites change often; tell us at klaro.tools/kontakt if something is out of date.
