A big client uses my job board... for the 2nd time

When you run a job board, a really classic business model is to sell packs of job offers, 1, 5, 10 or more. Given the fact it's not a subscription model, it's not easy to know if the customer is satisfied with the service... except if he buys again for his next recruitment. And it just happened with linuxjobs.fr and a big client, really famous in France. That's quite an achievment in my opinion and I wanted to share this small victory with everyone!

Keep up the good work, results will follow!

    That must be a great feeling, to have your own product being validated by a big client!

    I have a question regarding how you source your jobs:

    Are you scraping job boards to find jobs which match your niche, or hand selecting them from other major job boards? Or do the companies go to your site to manually post a job?

    Great work again Carl!

      the companies pay to use the service, buy packs of job offers (1,5,10 or 15) to display their job offers on linuxjobs.fr

      The service started in 2015, was free to use until 2017 where I thought the audience was big enough to switch to a pay-to-use model. I started at 49€ for the pack of 1 job offer (the price-per-unit decreases if you take a bigger pack) and today the price is 150€ for the same pack.

    Repeat business is the best - revenue and validation. 👍

      Thanks! I think the same! Finding the process to repeat your sales is quite tricky though.

    Well done Carl, that's great. I'm sure this will lead to other big clients soon.

      Thanks! I have already all kind of clients and some of them already bought twice. But this one is a really famous newspaper in France and associating linuxjobs.fr and their name is a really nice operation :)
