Bottom line

Hosted software for running your own niche job board: employers buy postings through Stripe or PayPal, job seekers get alerts, and backfill keeps the board full. Owned by ZipRecruiter and used by publishers such as TechCrunch, it costs $449/mo for Basic and $649/mo for Professional, so it suits associations, media brands and communities monetising a job board, not employers hiring for themselves.

Stands out for: It is a job board business in a box: unlimited jobs, job packages you price yourself, employer profiles, SEO-friendly listings and a blog, with backfill and integrations to Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Talroo, JobG8 and Broadbean. The vendor says thousands of job boards have launched on it.

Watch out for: At $449/mo before any revenue it is expensive for a small community board, and API access, multiple boards and more than 5 job feeds need the quoted Enterprise plan. The Basic plan has one team member and no candidate database.
