Rule #1 of Job Board Club.
Never launch without jobs.
I just saw a press release touting the launch of a ‘Glassdoor for News‘ site that also includes jobs. The platform provides a secure, anonymous space for journalists, producers, and newsroom staff to rate their work environments, share experiences, and advocate for healthier professional cultures. But they also have job listings.
Problem is, its empty.
When you launch your site you should seed it with some job listings so your target audience has something to browse. Given the amount of backfill options available there really is no excuse for not having job inventory at launch.
Without jobs at the beginning, the people who come to the site will be leave wondering why.
