Every business has that "light bulb" moment—the one where everything clicks, and the strategy shifts forever. For Steven Rothberg, Founder of College Recruiter job search site, that moment came when he realized: ?? Instead of charging per job post, they should charge per candidate. At the time, pay-per-click (PPC) and cost-per-application (CPA) models were still in their infancy. Indeed was just gaining traction, and Google was still focused on display ads. But the shift to performance-based pricing was inevitable and College Recruiter embraced it early. This decision transformed their business, scaled their job board, and aligned their success with their clients’ hiring goals. ??

Most job boards focus on job listings—but that’s NOT enough. According to Morgan Lobb, founder of VERCIDA , candidates don’t just look for jobs—they look for belonging. If they don’t feel represented, they won’t apply. That’s why Vercida doesn’t just list jobs. It sells stories. Here’s how Morgan made his job board stand out: ?? He tapped into Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) – showcasing real employee stories from diverse backgrounds. ?? He helped employers break candidate biases – many job seekers reject companies due to outdated perceptions. ?? He turned content into a competitive advantage – instead of just "job specs," his job board highlighted real people inside the company. ?? The takeaway? If your job board is struggling to attract candidates, the issue isn’t traffic—it’s trust. ?? What’s one way job boards can build more trust with candidates? Drop your thoughts below! ?? ??

Find a niche & own it – Competing with Monster & Reed wasn’t an option, so he focused on an underserved market. ?

Use content to attract job seekers – Real employee stories helped Vercida break candidate biases & improve engagement. ? Leverage partnerships – Working with DEI groups & recruitment agencies like Hays fueled growth. ? Stay focused – Hype around AI & new trends is constant, but success comes from consistent execution. If you’re building a job board, these are proven strategies that can help you scale sustainably. ?? What’s your biggest challenge in growing a job board? Drop your thoughts below! ?? ??

Does your job board’s domain pass the “Speaking Out Loud” test? In our recent conversation with Nick LeRoy for our YouTube channel (link in comments), we discussed why choosing the right domain is critical and why so many job board owners get it wrong. Nick’s rule is simple: If you told someone your domain in a noisy bar, could they remember and type it in correctly later? Consider these two examples: ?? SEO-jobs.io – Did they hear the dash? Was it .com or .io? Too much room for confusion. ? SEOjobs.com – Clear, easy to remember, and instantly brandable. Your domain isn’t just an address, it’s a trust signal. A name that’s confusing or hard to recall can mean lost traffic and credibility. The best choice? Something intuitive, easy to spell, and ideally a premium .com domain. If your domain needs extra explanation, it might be time to rethink it. #JobBoards #Branding #SEO #DomainNames #Marketing
