An important metric for a job board you should have in mind is the quality of candidates it attracts.
I can give you my perspective being on the other side.
It seems like new job boards scrape company websites or other job boards or manually add jobs. I often saw our job ads on new job boards that we never posted.
Maybe better start by offering free job ads (limit to 1-3) than later when you have traffic you can charge money.
Seems we basically have the same thoughts, thanks for the input. I think I'll get a lot of bites esp. if I offer 1-3 active job ads for free - my LinkedIn connections are pretty much 99% recruiters who want to fill job roles haha

Hey Jasmin, what ATS do you use (if any?)

Around 2015, when I started traveling frequently and spending a lot of time in Bali, I researched international health insurance providers. At that time, Cigna Global had good reviews.
I still pay for the Cigna policy but never used them, hopefully, I won't need them anytime soon :) It cost me $168 / month, coverage up to $1M.
Yeah Cigna seems to have good pricing. At the same time they seem to have the worst sales staff - some dude from Cigna keeps spam calling me every morning and every afternoon to ask me to finish signing up. For that reason alone I’m looking at other providers now heh
Steve Jobs by Isaacson Walter is an intriguing and informative read with valuable insights.

That's what I was going to recommend also.
I use the self-hosted version of joplinapp.org
It's pretty barebone but enough to keep some notes.
did you try mozilla.github.io/pdf.js?
react-pdf uses pdf.js under the hood but it’s setup isn’t straight forward. maybe cause I’m working with pdfs for the first time
