When should I use a service instead of a job posting plan?

Use a service when the product grants no system entitlements (no posts, featured slots, talent credits, or membership seat). Headhunting retainers, resume reviews, and branding packages are typical. If the offer includes posts or credits, create a job posting, talent, membership, or job seeker plan instead and describe the service in the description.

Do service products need Stripe?

Priced self-serve services need a connected Stripe account. Contact-only services (quote text plus a contact CTA) do not charge through Cavuno and do not require Stripe for that product.

Can a company buy the same service more than once?

Yes. Services allow concurrent purchases. A second buy creates a second holding record rather than replacing the first.

Service products

Sell employer or job seeker services that grant no posting entitlements, with a Stripe price or a contact CTA.

By Abi Tyas Tunggal and Jack Walsh

Service products are catalogue rows for work you fulfil outside Cavuno's posting and access entitlements. Examples include headhunting, resume review, employer branding packages, and similar add-ons.

Create them from Settings → Products → Create product, then choose Employer service or Job seeker service.

Employer service vs job seeker service

Employer service is bought by a company. Holdings show on the company side of your board.

Job seeker service is bought by a candidate. Holdings show on the candidate side.

Pick the audience that will pay and receive the fulfilment. Do not use a service purpose for anything that also grants posts, featured slots, talent unlocks, or membership benefits. Those belong on the matching entitlement product type.

Priced vs contact

Every service uses one sale shape:

Priced (self-serve): set a Stripe price. Employers or candidates check out on the board like any other paid product.

Contact: set a free-form price label (for example "From $2,500" or "15% of first year salary"), a CTA label, and a destination (email, form URL, or page). The public card shows the label and CTA instead of a checkout button. Use this when the price cannot be a fixed Stripe amount.

Contact services do not create Stripe charges in Cavuno. Track fulfilment in your own sales process.

Create a service

Go to Settings → Products
Click Create product → Employer service or Job seeker service
Enter name and description
Choose priced or contact:
- Priced: currency and amount (Stripe must be connected)
- Contact: price text, CTA text, and CTA destination
Optionally add custom attributes for your own records
Save, then set the product public when you are ready to show it

Where they appear

Public employer services show on your employer pricing surfaces with other employer products. Public job seeker services show with candidate offers when you surface them on the board.

Older "sales led" contact cards are migrated into employer service products. Edit them from the same Products table. Prefer Employer service for every new contact-led card.

Next steps

Review the rest of the products catalogue. For memberships that grant discounts or included posts, use memberships instead of a service.
