How to Create a Job Board

A job board is a website that connects employers with job seekers by listing open positions, typically within a specific industry, location, or job type. You can create a job board by choosing a niche, setting up your platform, populating it with jobs (through aggregation or direct postings), and marketing to both employers and candidates.

This section covers the fundamentals of launching a job board, from choosing your niche to landing your first paying customer. For a detailed walkthrough, see our complete job board creation guide.
