EchoJobs

What EchoJobs does

EchoJobs is a Louisville, US-based, vertical job search platform founded in 2022 by a solo operator (Morgan) that exclusively targets software engineers. The company aggregates software engineering job listings directly from the career pages of 15,000+ vetted companies using hourly automated scrapers, surfacing 200,000–950,000 jobs depending on snapshot, with 2,000–3,000 new listings added daily. The product is differentiated by software-engineering-specific filters (tech stack, seniority, work type, salary floor, location, industry), a natural-language "AI Search" interface for intent-based matching, and hourly refresh cadence designed to eliminate stale posts and recruiter spam. Search is powered by Typesense for low-latency, typo-tolerant retrieval, and the data pipeline is provided by JobDataLake.

The business is a direct-to-consumer subscription product with no enterprise sales motion, no recruiters as customers, and no employer monetization. Distribution is purely organic, combining programmatic SEO pages by stack and location, a build-in-public content engine (blog, Twitter/X, Reddit), and a Senja-powered testimonial wall. Pricing is freemium with three published tiers — $17/month, $47/3 months (most popular, targeted at active job seekers), and $67/year (targeted at passive job seekers) — and the membership page claims 452 paying customers with an over-80% renewal rate. EchoJobs LLC is structured as a US LLC, is founder-owned, has no disclosed institutional investors, and has raised a single $25,000 round (July 2024) with unknown backers. The company does not disclose revenue, headcount beyond the founder, or ARR; its scale metrics, pricing, and customer base are consistent with a small, cash-efficient, solo-operator subscription business rather than a venture-scale company.

Others

• JobDataLake: JobDataLake is the data-pipeline provider explicitly powering EchoJobs' aggregated job inventory. It is an enabling/ecosystem peer whose data infrastructure EchoJobs is built on top of, and could be a substitute or competitor if it ever launched a consumer-facing surface of its own.

Emerging players
