Job board software enables users to create and manage online employment marketplaces that connect employers with job seekers. Entrepreneurs use job board software to create online job boards—also known as job search sites—and typically monetize them by selling job ads to companies that are seeking to hire for open positions. Professional associations also use job board software to set up career centers for their members and generate revenue from job posting fees. Recruiters and business owners use the websites created by job board software to post job ads and connect with people seeking employment. While the customized job sites powered by job board software often have a specific focus, such as jobs in certain industries or in a certain location, they can also be designed to host a wide variety of open jobs.
Some job board software products integrate with email marketing software to automate sending messages to employers or job seekers. They may also integrate with digital analytics software to streamline search engine optimization. Job board software products can typically scrape or import job posts from other sources, including job search sites.
