Job Lab

A niche job board that fills itself and runs itself.

A white-label job board engine. Choose a niche in the setup wizard and it starts pulling in matching jobs from feeds and company hiring systems before the wizard has finished. Employers pay to post and feature, sponsors buy placements, and the newsletter writes itself each week. It runs devremotely.com and skillfinder.io today.

How it works

From an empty folder to a site that takes money

  1. 01

    Pick a niche

    The setup wizard starts from eleven starter packs that set the keywords, sources, colours and wording.

  2. 02

    Jobs arrive

    Feeds, job APIs and company hiring systems are fetched on a timetable, filtered to the niche, and duplicates removed.

  3. 03

    Pages appear

    Every skill, role, location and company gets a page, and landing pages publish themselves once there are enough jobs.

  4. 04

    Readers subscribe

    A weekly newsletter is drafted from the new jobs and sent after a review window.

  5. 05

    Employers and sponsors pay

    Plans, featured placements and ad slots are sold through Stripe, with ad orders waiting for your approval.

How it earns

4 ways to charge, already built

  1. The Featured jobs part of the pricing page: a single placement for 30 days at 49 dollars, three credits for 129 and ten credits for 390, then a three-step How it works and a Get started button
    01

    Paid and featured posts

    Employers pay to post, feature and bundle listings through Stripe.

    03

    Self-serve ad shop

    Sponsors book a placement, pay, and wait for your approval. Rejecting one refunds it automatically.

  4. One sent issue of the Fernwork weekly newsletter: tiles for delivered, failed, opened and clicked, a preview of the email with its sponsor line for Larkspur Mobility and the first job, and a Contents panel listing 8 jobs, 5 market stats and 3 page links

Questions

What exactly do I get?

The complete, readable source code for the kit, its documentation, and the right to run as many sites with it as you like. Professional and above also get access to the private GitHub repository, so updates are a git pull.

Do the sites actually make money?

Each kit has its revenue streams built in: featured listings, leads, subscriptions, paid launches and ads, switched on from the admin. How much a site earns depends on the niche and the work you put into traffic. The portfolio on the home page is what I run with them, and the sold ones show what a running site has fetched.

Can I sell a site I build?

Yes. You own every site you build and can run, rent or sell it, and build sites for clients. The one thing you cannot do is resell or publish the kit itself.

Do I need to be a developer?

You need to be comfortable following a setup guide and using a command line. After that, a new site is configured in the admin panel, not in code.

Why are the kits built on different stacks?

Each one uses what suited the job. Local Lab and Launch Lab are Python and Flask, which makes them cheap to host and easy to move. Job Lab is Next.js with a search engine and a job queue, because pulling in and searching thousands of jobs needs them. Each kit page lists its stack and what it costs to run.

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay once per kit, or once for the bundle. There is no monthly fee.

What if it is not for me?

You have 30 days to ask for a full refund. Access to the repository and downloads ends when the refund is made.
