Yeah thanks, I might try again now that the site now has many more jobs and some traffic.
Do you go for paid post jobs straightforward?
I'm thinking of trying with free and then upsell if they liked it at least at first
Started with free jobs where companies had to pay if they hired someone. It was based on self reporting, but the ones that reported had to pay like 1-2 months salary so a lot.
Now we switched model and its free+paid jobs (paid jobs get extra features) and we also charge money for job seekers. They can create a profile with extra features, get alerts etc.
40% revenue is from job seekers, 60% revenue is from job poster.
We got around 80-100 jobs (unique, not scraped) on the site at a time, revenue around 8-10k.
Not sure if you can easily upsell people if they liked a free job post. Depends on the niche, in some niches people post jobs too rarely, like once every 18-24 months
Thanks, that's super helpful! I think in my case the companies hire a bit more often but it is also not super regular, your model might make sense in my case too. Also, its more straightforward.
I'm charging customers too, but still small amount of users and having both revenues would be nice.
I'll think about implementing something similar.
Awesome results if you have that many unique jobs,congratulations!
I'm still not sure about charging job seekers, it seems nice but I am a bit worried about long term.
I feel it might be better to focus on just charging for jobs but it is hard to make that change now since we get a lot of money from job seekers.
Thanks, It was not easy, it really started picking up this year.
For some reason, I stopped receiving notifications for this question I ask.
Would those replying here be interested in sharing ideas about job boards in a Telegram group?

That's also quite hard, how to get users without jobs? How to make people post their jobs if you don't have users?
Even with customers in my experience it-s not that easy to get companies to take the time to post in your job board or even go with new job boards as they usually have already some arrangements.
Maybe I did it the wrong way if you got some success doing that. Any tip?
It is super hard. But it is what creates the most value in long term.
With a good niche it should be possible if you reach out to companies. Start with a few scraped jobs so the site looks real. Then go hard on outreach.
