Build Traffic and Engagement

Job posts serve as high-quality content for your members and search engines. Google indexes job posts quickly, and people in your community frequently look at the job market, whether it’s for new opportunities or to stay connected as their industry evolves. Job Board Fire’s direct connection with Google Jobs offers an additional boost in organic traffic and new potential community members and customers. Learn how you can optimize your job listings for Google Search.

Generate Direct Revenue - Paid Job Postings

The days when niche sites could just pull job placement ads from Indeed etc. and generate enough ad clicks to sustain their business are mostly gone. Leverage the strength and focus of your community for direct job postings from companies in your space. In today’s competitive job market companies are willing to pay to get in front of the right audience for the talent they need.
