Your Job Board

What your public board can and cannot do, organized by the two sides of the marketplace: job seekers and employers. Each capability lists the plan, setting, and setup it needs.

The dashboard at /home is where you operate your board. Your public job board is the website your visitors actually use. This section documents what that website can and cannot do, so you can answer "what does my board do," "why don't I have this," and "how does this work" without opening a support ticket.

Every Cavuno board is a full website generated from your job data: a homepage, AI-powered job search, individual job pages, a company directory, salary guides, and an optional blog. You shape the chrome (layout, copy, branding) in the website builder, but the capabilities below are the same on every board.

The two sides of your board

A job board is a marketplace with two audiences, and this section is organized around them.

Job seekers are everyone looking for work on your board, whether or not they have an account: an anonymous visitor browsing jobs, a job-alert subscriber, and a Candidate with a profile are all job seekers. Their experience starts with browsing and discovery (no account needed) and extends into accounts (profiles, saved jobs, alerts, applying).

Employers are board users who represent a company on your board. They sign up, claim a company, post jobs through checkout or invoicing, manage applicants, and (where you enable it) browse your talent directory and message candidates.

What every visitor gets without an account

Browsing is open by design, because open pages are what search engines index and what brings job seekers back. With no account, a visitor can:

  • Search jobs with AI-powered semantic search and filter by employment type, work arrangement, seniority, and location.
  • Open any job page and apply, either natively on your board or through the employer's external link.
  • Browse the company directory and individual company profiles.
  • Read auto-generated salary pages.

How to read these pages

Every capability page opens with an Availability block so the gating is scannable at the top, instead of buried in prose. It lists only the fields that apply:

  • Plan is the minimum Cavuno plan the capability needs. This is sourced from the plans, which the pricing page lists in full. The most important plan fact for the whole board: your public board only goes live from the Starter plan upward. The Free plan has no public board at all.
  • Setting is the exact board setting that switches the capability on, and where it lives in your dashboard (for example, Board settings, then Features, then "Registration wall"). If a capability has no setting to toggle, the field says so.
  • Setup required is any prerequisite the capability depends on, such as a connected Stripe account or a verified custom email domain. The page links to the setup guide. (Some capabilities need nothing: Google and LinkedIn sign-in, for example, work by default on Cavuno's own sign-in.)

A Limitations note follows, describing the real constraints of the shipped capability (for example per-plan caps, the one-message cold-outreach rule, or the fact that an external apply cannot confirm the application was completed). It is never a disclaimer about features that do not exist yet.

As a worked example, here is the board-level Availability for having a public board at all:

  • Plan: Starter and up. The Free plan has no public board.
  • Setting: None. Your board is public once you are on a paid plan and not password protected.
  • Setup required: Choose a plan in Billing.

There is no plan-comparison table in these docs on purpose. The pricing page is generated from the same plan configuration the product uses, so it never drifts out of date.
