Your own job board – from concept to market launch.

Developing a job board: your own recruitment platform, built on a proven white-label solution

Whether a job board, a careers platform or a sector-specific board – a platform alone does not generate applications. A job board succeeds only with the right employers, strong partners and a clear route to market. I support you at every stage – as an adviser, as project lead or with full operational responsibility.

What I take on

Eight services – individually or as a complete package, depending on how much responsibility you wish to delegate.

01

Product design

Product and vacancy structure – designed around an application experience that values candidates.

02

Positioning & business model

Target groups, the benefits for candidates and employers, and a clear differentiation from competitors – so that your board occupies a distinct place in the market.

03

Employer acquisition

A personal approach to decision-makers – so that genuine vacancies are live at launch.

04

Strategic partnerships

Universities, alumni networks, professional bodies and trade associations as a route to talent.

05

Go-to-market

Campaigns, presentations, case studies and newsletters to build reach and growth.

06

Soft launch & launch

First with selected employers and partners, followed by the official market launch.

07

Employer and candidate pages that address people clearly and respectfully – during the start-up phase, for a maximum of 12 months.

08

Operational leadership

If required, overall responsibility for the development, including the coordination of all partners.

Proven technology

Technically ready, without delay.

I work with the proven white-label solution of an established European provider. There is no need for you to develop anything yourself – instead, you invest in what determines success: employers, partners and content.

The technology partner sets up the platform. The many tasks on your side – structure, products, content and testing – I take care of on your behalf.

Search & structureCustom categories, radius search, multilingual
AI matchingRelevant vacancies and candidates, including skills-based matching
ReachSEO, Google for Jobs, interfaces, multiposting
RevenueShop for job packages, employer profiles, job boosts
User engagementJob alerts, dashboards, widgets for partner sites
Operations & securityHosting, updates, GDPR-compliant, reporting

A selection of the available features – further modules, such as social media campaigns, integration with applicant tracking systems or multiple boards on a single platform, are also available. The exact scope depends on the products selected.

Phased approach

Every project is different – duration and sequence depend on the market, the products and the starting position. We agree the timeline together during the concept phase.

01

Concept

Business model, target groups, technology, budget and an individual timeline – optionally with a proof of concept.

02

Development

Setting up the platform, defining the product and securing the first employers and partners.

03

Soft launch

Launch with selected employers, universities and networks – and feedback for refinement.

04

Market launch & growth

Official launch, followed by acquisition, partnerships and continued development.

Technology is rarely the constraint. What matters is having sufficient employers and vacancies at launch. We agree targets, the legal framework and the budget together for each country and market.

A single package from one source

Technology and support belong together – you receive both as one complete package, with a tailored proposal in which each component is set out transparently.

Component 1

Technology

Proven white-label solution – tailored to your project
  • Proof of concept first, or directly to soft launch
  • Selection of products and modules
  • New board or migration of an existing one
  • Number of countries, languages and boards
Component 2

My support

Included in the package – scope according to the chosen option
  • Concept, optionally with proof of concept
  • Implementation through to soft launch
  • Development & market entry with operational responsibility
  • Content management during the start-up phase, max. 12 months

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to develop your own job board?

That depends on the project: whether it is a new board or a migration, whether you begin with a proof of concept, and how many countries and products are involved. We agree a binding timeline together during the concept phase.

Do we need to carry out any programming ourselves?

No. The white-label job board is adapted to your brand. You do not need an in-house development team.

What does it cost to develop a job board?

You receive a tailored overall proposal covering both the technology and my support – the two are offered only together. The price depends on whether you begin with a proof of concept or proceed directly to soft launch, which products you select, whether it is a new board or a migration, and how much responsibility I assume in the development.

Do you also provide legal advice?

No. I coordinate data protection and legal review with specialists in the relevant country.

I look forward to discussing your job board.
