What Job News does

Job News, founded in 1994 in Louisville, Kentucky, and operating as Temerity Ventures LLC, is a US recruitment advertising company that sells employer-facing products combining digital job distribution with in-person job fairs. The company serves businesses with hiring needs across industries including healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, hospitality, financial services, and staffing, and historically reports 45+ million qualified hires facilitated and 54,000+ digital campaigns run across all 50 states.

The core technology is JobingPRO, a proprietary AI-enabled recruitment advertising platform that distributes job postings programmatically across a network of premium job board partners (Indeed, ZipRecruiter, CareerBuilder, Appcast), offers keyword analysis and A/B testing, geo-fencing, SMS enrollment, and a free RESTful API for ATS integration. On top of this platform the company sells three product families: 7-day jobBlasts (Local at $339 and Premium at $599, with multi-pack bundle discounts), 30-day Digital Recruitment Campaigns ($1,000-$10,000 with impression guarantees and dedicated campaign managers), and Job Fair Booth Packages ($979 Standard, $1,199 Bundle, $1,699 Sponsorship) at approximately 200 events per year across 30+ cities.

Job News employs nearly 100 full-time employees nationwide and runs a sales-led, event-driven go-to-market combining self-service online purchase (pro.jobing.com), direct enterprise account management, and physical job fair sales. Revenue is a mix of transaction fees (jobBlasts, job fair booths) and subscription/usage-based contracts (recurring employer web subscriptions and DRC campaigns). The company is privately held, bootstrapped, founder-led (Michael Talbott), and does not disclose financials.

Direct peers

• CareerBuilder: Long-standing job board and recruitment advertising platform with programmatic distribution capabilities comparable to JobingPRO, integrated as a Core partner for Job News.
• Appcast: Programmatic job-advertising technology vendor that powers automated bidding and distribution across job boards — directly comparable to JobingPRO's programmatic distribution layer and a Core technology partner of Job News.
• ZipRecruiter: Online job marketplace that distributes employer job postings across a partner network with programmatic tools — directly competes with JobingPRO's distribution and AI-optimized job ad model.

Broad incumbents

• Indeed: Largest global job board and 'Apply with Indeed' sponsor. Functions as both a distribution partner and a competing direct-to-employer channel that Job News campaigns ultimately feed into.
• LinkedIn (Talent Solutions): Recruitment advertising platform from LinkedIn offering job postings, sponsored content, and InMail to recruiters; competes for the same enterprise recruitment-ad budgets as Job News.
• Glassdoor: Job board with employer branding and recruitment advertising products, comparable to Job News's DRC offerings targeting employer brand-driven candidate acquisition.
• Recruit (Indeed/Glassdoor parent): Parent of Indeed and Glassdoor, providing global HR-tech and recruitment advertising capabilities that compete broadly with Job News's employer distribution stack.
• Google for Jobs: Google's structured job-search experience indexing postings from employer sites and job boards — a baseline alternative to Job News's job-board distribution for employer recruiting campaigns.

Emerging players

• Lensa: Job aggregator and recruitment advertising platform distributing postings across partner networks — partially overlaps with JobingPRO's partner-distribution approach.
• Jobcase: Community-driven job-search platform with employer advertising and worker profile features — overlaps with Job News's job-seeker profile and employer distribution model.
