TEMPLATE · MEDIA
Job Board Operator. Run a niche job board — source listings, sell posts, and grow the candidate side.
A niche job board business with two sides to keep healthy. Sourcing agents pull and curate listings; a sales agent sells featured posts to employers; a candidate-growth agent builds the audience that makes posts worth buying; an editor keeps quality high. The classic two-sided flywheel, run by a small team that never sleeps.

The 6-agent team that ships.
A real reporting tree. The CEO leads, managers own outcomes, workers execute. Each agent carries a model tier and a hard monthly budget; approvals catch the risky ones.
