The company is headquartered in Berlin and operates in numerous cities across Germany, focusing on work-life innovation.

Why Zenjob chose revel8

Zenjob chose revel8 after becoming dissatisfied with their previous provider’s generic, checkbox-style security training. Zenjob's security team was looking for a more practical, hands-on approach that would genuinely change employee behaviour rather than just tick compliance boxes. revel8 stood out by demonstrating the ability to go far beyond standard email phishing simulations, offering realistic attack scenarios, tailored content, and a strong focus on real-world risks employees actually face. This approach gave Zenjob confidence that revel8 could deliver measurable security awareness improvements well above the industry standard.

Details on partnership

Since the start of the partnership, revel8 has been training Zenjob’s entire workforce using individually tailored attack simulations. After more than a year on the revel8 platform, Zenjob is now able to share meaningful insights into its security awareness journey. As expected, the initial click rates on simulated attacks increased noticeably as the difficulty and realism of the scenarios were raised.

In particular, revel8’s multi-channel attack simulations proved significantly harder to detect than Zenjob’s previous awareness solution, highlighting the increased realism of modern, AI-driven social engineering techniques. After the initial spike in click rates, Zenjob’s employees steadily increased their level of awareness and successfully detected a growing number of simulated attacks, particularly in complex, multi-channel scenarios.

Initial success

By leveraging revel8’s platform and its automated, AI-powered playlist, Zenjob was able to significantly streamline training delivery.

Despite increasing simulation difficulty, interaction rates dropped to below 5%, demonstrating genuine user resilience and learning effectiveness. User feedback was highly positive, highlighting the realism and relevance of simulations, while IT reported minimal intervention thanks to automated workflows.
