Building yet another Remote Jobs Aggregator (FlexHired) - My strategy for differentiation & seeking feedback
Hi everyone, I'm currently building FlexHired, a remote job aggregator. Yes, I know the market is maybe saturated with job aggregator website. That's why I'm being deliberate about my approach and wanted to share my strategy for feedback from this community. My plan is phased: Phase 1: The Foundation (Current Stage) Problem: Many job boards exist, but finding relevant, non-expired remote jobs can still be a pain (I think). My MVP Focus: Delivering core value reliably FIRST. Aggregating from major ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, AshbyHQ, etc.). Clean, fast, mobile friendly UI with simple filters/search. Twice daily filtering to remove expired listings. Users should only see active jobs. Added feature: Search for companies currently hiring remotely. Goal: Build a solid, reliable, free core experience that people actually like using, despite the competition. Phase 2: Value-Add & Monetization (Next Steps) Plan: Introduce tools to genuinely help job seekers beyond just finding listings. Resume builder Cover letter builder Job application tracker Monetization Strategy: The core job search aggregator will remain completely free and ad-free. The additional tools will have robust free tiers, sufficient for most users. Monetization will come from optional premium features within these tools. Phase 3: Scaling with Employer Postings (Requires Traction) Trigger: Once the platform demonstrates significant traction and a valuable job seeker audience (aiming for an indicator like ~50k+ monthly visits). Plan: Introduce the ability for companies to post their remote jobs directly onto FlexHired. Monetization Strategy: This opens up a B2B revenue stream. I will charge employers for premium posting options, such as: Featured job listings (higher visibility). Pinned posts (keeping the job at the top of relevant searches/lists). Core Principle: This will complement, not replace, the free aggregated listings and job seeker tools. My Ask: What are your thoughts on this strategy? Is focusing on data freshness and core UX enough of a differentiator initially in a crowded market? Does the freemium model based on supplementary tools (while keeping the core job board free) seem viable for a micro SaaS? Here is the link to FlexHired if you want to check it out: https://flexhired.com Appreciate any insights or critiques you might have. Thanks for reading!
