Tech Stack

Key Challenges We Handle

Chicken-and-egg

Job boards need listings AND candidates. Seed with 20–50 jobs manually before launch — scrape or partner with early employers.

Niche focus wins

Generic job boards lose to LinkedIn. Niche boards (remote dev jobs, healthcare, hospitality) rank faster and convert better.

Employer monetization

Charge per listing ($99–$299) or monthly subscription ($199/mo). Stripe Billing handles both from v1.

Cost Breakdown

Rough estimates per feature. Our fixed-price MVP bundles all of these — see the full Job Board App cost guide.
