About the company:
Schibsted Media Group is an international media group with approximately 7,400 employees in 27 countries.

The international online classified advertising business is organized in a separate company, Schibsted Classified Media (SCM).

Some of our classifieds sites are Leboncoin.fr in France, Mudah.my in Malaysia, Bomnegocio.br in Brazil and Infojobs in Spain and Italy. SCM is continuously expanding into new markets and segments. SCM’s head office is located in Barcelona.
