Job boards have long been the go-to solution for companies looking to fill open roles for almost as long as the internet has been around, but paying for every click and wading through piles of unqualified applicants wastes time, money and internal resources. If you’re looking for scalable workforce solutions and cost-effective ways to connect with the right candidates, then it’s time to consider an alternative that gives you more control over the hiring process.
pepelwerk, a talent development marketplace, offers a better approach with its Private Job Profile Marketplace—built to help you source candidates from trusted communities like schools, member organizations and your local networks.
Candidate Sourcing Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All
When it comes to hiring, businesses are often looking for options that let them source high-quality candidates without paying for exposure to the wrong audience.
They’re typically searching for:
- Flexible, cost-effective sourcing options.
- Ways to connect with qualified candidates faster.
- Less competition for top talent from the open market.
Centralized Sourcing From Trusted Communities and Strategic Workforce Solutions Partners
Instead of relying on job boards where anyone can apply, pepelwerk offers centralized sourcing as a workforce planning platform, like local training programs, alumni networks and strategic workforce solutions partners. Our Private Job Profile Marketplace lets you directly invite candidates who match your hiring needs, reducing noise and increasing your chances of making the right hire.
Job Boards vs. Private Job Profile Marketplace
Popular job boards like Indeed and ZipRecruiter operate on a pay-per-click model, meaning you’re charged each time someone views or clicks your job listing, regardless of their fit. This often leads to paying for unqualified traffic with no real return.
pepelwerk’s Private Job Profile Marketplace flips the script—only the candidates you invite, who are aligned with your job profile, can match and meet with you.
Why This Approach Works Better
The key difference lies in precision and control. With job boards, anyone can apply, but with pepelwerk’s platform, only candidates you’ve invited to match with your role will be able to engage.
Here’s what you get with the Private Job Profile Marketplace:
- Lower time-to-hire with curated candidate pools.
- No wasted spend on unqualified traffic.
- Full control over who sees and matches with your jobs.
- Access to talent from local schools, programs and networks.
If you’re ready to stop paying for clicks and start investing in qualified candidates, pepelwerk offers the smarter, more efficient path forward. Skip the job board noise—hire better with Private Job Profiles.
