💰 8 Job Board Business Ideas, Backed by Research
Including keywords to target and available domain names.
👋 Hey, I’m Casandra. I share research-backed business ideas to help you start and grow a business. This is a 🔒 Premium Edition 🔒 of Really Good Business Ideas.
Looking for a web business you can launch in just a few hours? It’s time to consider starting a job board business! Anyone with a computer can launch a job board. You don’t even need to know how to code.
I’ve done the research and found 10 job board business opportunities. Each one has proven demand and targets a gap in the market you can fill. Here’s the criteria I used:
Minimum 2K monthly searches for the primary keyword the homepage should target.
This means there’s established demand and a way for you to get traffic to your job board.
Only generic job boards on the first page of the Google results for that keyword.
This means there are no strong competitors specifically targeting the opportunity, and you can fill the gap by serving the niche better.
Remember, successful job boards get most of their traffic from Google!

8 Job Board Business Ideas
Since most successful job boards focus on a specific industry, discipline, or skill, I’ve also focused my research there. Most people begin job searches by looking for jobs within specific industries or disciplines, creating search demand that relevant job boards can target.
Plus, backfilling job postings from specific industries or role types is easy, so these job boards are also the simplest to launch quickly. With a platform like Niceboard or Smart Job Board, you can automatically import any roles that meet your criteria from generic job boards like Monster. Once you’re up and running, you can monetize by selling premium job board placements.
If you have experience in one of the industries highlighted today, you’re a great candidate to start the next leading job board!
