What SmartJobBoard does

SmartJobBoard is a privately held, bootstrapped SaaS company founded in 2008 and headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, that provides a cloud-based platform for organizations to launch and operate branded job boards and career centers. The platform combines a multi-tenant job board engine with AI-driven candidate matching, resume parsing, customizable themes (Classic, Flow, Breeze, Shine, Shift), and an integration layer spanning ATS systems (BreezyHR, UltiPro, iCIMS, Dayforce), aggregator backfill (Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Jobs2Careers, Trovit), identity (SSO/SAML), automation (Zapier), payments (Stripe Taxes), and analytics (Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel). The product is delivered via direct self-serve signup with a 14-day free trial and a sales-assisted demo path for larger organizations.

The company monetizes through tiered SaaS subscriptions ($99–$1,000+/month), per-posting job fees ($50–$300 per 30-day posting), featured job packages, advertising via Google AdSense, resume database access, and aggregator revenue share. Its customer base of 400+ organizations spans associations, non-profits, educational institutions, economic development agencies, niche media, and government — including AAPC, ACLM, APS, Michigan EDC, USA Swimming, Silicon Slopes, and Smashing Magazine. Go-to-market is product-led with content marketing, SEO, third-party reviews, and partner referrals driving top-of-funnel demand.

SmartJobBoard operates with a small core team of approximately six named members across CEO, CTO, engineering, QA, customer care, and sales, with the broader organization stated at 11–50 employees. The company is founder-led (Rodion Telpizov as CEO and Founder), is a member of Tatech, and reports no venture funding, parent company, or M&A activity across its 17-year operating history.
