9 Job Board Success Stories [2023]

Hey! I’m Gino Ferrand and I’m the founder of TECLA. I’m originally from Lima, Peru, and I’m currently living in Seattle, Washington. My business makes it easy for startups to interview and directly hire software developers from an invite-only network of the top talent in South America (same time zones as the U.S.).

I started TECLA in 2013 with $15k in total investment from my own savings. The business has always been 100% bootstrapped. Today, we are a team of 12 full-time (core) team members, 5 part-time contributors, and a network of 9,000 tech professionals, working remotely (from home) from countries like Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Mexico, Colombia, and Uruguay.

Hi guys! My name is George Avgenakis, and I’m the founder of Loopcv. I started the company more than 2 years ago to automate my job search, and it became viral on Reddit, helping thousands of users.

We are growing about 15% MoM, and we are currently improving our business solutions to help businesses that support job seekers!

Hi! 👋 I’m Joe Masilotti, the founder of RailsDevs – a reverse job board for Ruby on Rails developers. I’ve been a Rails developer for 10+ years and always dread the hiring process. The formal resume, the long interviews, third-party recruiters… It all favors the business!

RailsDevs only launched a year ago and has already grown to 600+ developers. And 30+ of them have found a new job through the platform! Through monthly subscriptions and hiring fees, RailsDevs make about $10,000 per month, on average.

My name is John Jonas. I’m a programmer by trade, a hard-core family man, and an accidental entrepreneur, and I created OnlineJobs.ph.

When implemented the right way, Filipino virtual workers (programmers, web designers, copywriters, SEO specialists, VAs, graphic designers…the list is almost infinite) can take over the life-consuming tasks of a business and help business owners recover their greatest asset: their time.

Hi! I’m Gergo, a founder by nature. I first tasted entrepreneurship as a child selling fruit from my grandfather’s orchard.

This success shows the effectiveness of our approach and the growing demand for more personalized and efficient job-searching tools. We are committed to continuing to innovate and provide solutions that benefit both job seekers and recruiters.

By way of introduction, I am the co-founder of Permworks, a jobs board that connects employers around the world with Filipino talent. We also offer recruitment and compliance services to take care of the legal and hiring aspects of the process, making it easier for employers to find and hire top talent from the Philippines.

With a background in start-ups and marketplaces, I’ve set out to make it easy to hire Filipino talent direct.

Eric Turner is a US-born entrepreneur who founded Japan Dev, a curated job board for tech jobs in Japan founded in 2019.

He’s a software engineer from the US, but he has been residing in Japan since 2013.

As a result, only a small percentage of technology companies fulfill the high standards. Every firm on the site also includes a detailed company biography page where users may learn about remote work, benefits, and other policies.

When he went to Japan, Eric struggled to find potential employers, so he built a website that lists potential employment opportunities in the country.

His first customer was the company he worked for. He relied on SEO and cold emailing to target potential customers. Eric realized his first revenue more than a year after launching. Unlike other job sites, Japan Dev is monitored as only companies that accept foreign employees and have cutting-edge development teams are qualified to post job openings.

When he started Japan Dev in 2019 along with his wife, they struggled to make a dollar for a year but, despite the hardships, decided to stuck with their passion project, and now the company makes $60k/month on average.
