I am building job board as a service - will it work? thoughts?

[midst]

Hi,

I am half way through building a job board as a service SaaS where people
can host job boards by paying monthly subscription.

The features I am building in MVP are

Candidate

1. Candidate can browse, search and filter jobs by category, hot and trending jobs, jobs by location, jobs by skill, remote jobs etc…
2. Candidate can apply job throughput the platform
3. Candidate can save jobs for later
4. Candidate can set alerts for new jobs.
5. Candidates can fill the profile and get recommended jobs

Recruiter

1. Recruiter can post job for free or paying, add a company
2. Recruiter can browse the candidate pool
3. Recruiter can view the applications
4. Recruiter can share his/her profile with others (showing jobs they are hiring for)

Admin (who runs the board)

1. Can create coupons for a recruiter to give discounts
2. Configure payment methods & api keys

I don’t know if this works out or not but putting my efforts. Want to know how to find customers, product-market fit, is this idea viable?

Tech stack : python, django, MySQL, redis, jQuery

@midst There are a lot of job boards out there. Monster.com, ZipRecruiter, Indeed, the list goes on. What differentiates your product?

@midst Looks like it already exists, Niceboard does this exact same thing. You could look to them for inspiration when building your version though.
