How do job alerts work?

When a visitor subscribes, JBoard saves the search they were running — keyword, location, remote, category, and job type — and emails them matching jobs on the schedule they choose. No account is needed to subscribe.

What criteria can subscribers set?

An alert can include keyword, location with a radius, remote, category, and job type, plus any custom search filters your board has configured.

When do the emails send?

Daily or weekly, sent at the hour and day you choose, in your board's timezone — as scheduled digests.

Can I customize the email template?

Yes. Both the subject line and email body are yours to edit, so every alert looks and sounds like your brand.

Can alerts send from my own domain?

Yes. Alerts can be sent from your own domain instead of a generic address, so emails come from your brand and land in the inbox more reliably.

How is deliverability protected?

JBoard automatically suppresses bounces and complaints and ramps each board's sending reputation, so your alert emails stay in good standing and keep reaching the inbox. Every email also includes a one-click unsubscribe so subscribers can opt out at any time.

Can I export subscribers or connect other tools?

Yes. Export your subscriber list — with each alert's criteria — to CSV, or automate via Zapier.

How many subscribers can I have?

Alerts are included on every plan; what scales is your subscriber count — from 10,000 on Standard up to 50,000 on Scale, with additional capacity available (+$10/mo per extra 1,000).

JOB ALERTS

Turn One-Time Visitors Into Repeat Traffic You Own

Most people who land on your board leave and never come back. Job alerts turn them into subscribers who return through their inbox — an owned, high-intent audience that grows while you publish jobs.

✓ Build an owned email audience job seekers actually want
✓ Drive repeat traffic without relying on logins or SEO swings
✓ Send daily or weekly matches based on what users subscribe to
