Paid job boards for Jeddah's ports, hotels, shops and seasonal hiring peaks.

Our team handles paid job board website development Jeddah businesses can monetise: employers pay to post, promote and search CVs, staffing agencies sell their services as vendors, and candidates apply for free. Jeddah hires in waves. Logistics firms around the port, hotels along the Corniche, retail and food chains, and operators serving Umrah and Hajj visitors all need many people at once, so the board must sell volume quickly and stay reliable when demand jumps.

We design the paying side around that rhythm: bulk posting, campaign packages tied to a season, quick checkout with mada and Apple Pay, employer subscriptions for firms that hire all year, and agency storefronts that earn your board a commission every time an employer books them.

What the marketplace can include

Selling hiring at volume, on a deadline.

In Jeddah a hotel group may need dozens of housekeeping and front desk staff before a busy Umrah period, a freight forwarder may need warehouse shifts covered next week, and a retail chain may open several stores in a single quarter. None of these buyers wants to post one job at a time. A job board subscription platform development Jeddah project therefore starts with how volume is sold: packages, campaigns, bulk tools and agencies that can fill gaps. The platform below is organised around that, with the candidate side kept light enough to work well on a mid range phone on mobile data, because that is how most shift and frontline applicants will reach it.

Explain your project
  • Season campaign packages

    Employers buy a campaign that runs between two dates, covers a set number of roles and includes promotion on the home page and in alerts. Campaigns can be prepared before Ramadan or the Hajj season and switch on automatically, so recruiters are not posting by hand when they are busiest.

    Seasonal hiring becomes a product you can sell months ahead.

  • Bulk posting and job templates

    Upload many vacancies at once from a spreadsheet, or clone a saved template across branches in Al Rawdah, Al Hamra or near the airport. Each copy keeps its own district, shift pattern and contact, and credits are drawn down per post with a clear running balance.

    A chain can list every store's vacancies in one sitting.

  • Staffing agency storefronts

    Licensed staffing and manpower companies open a storefront on your board, list services such as temporary hospitality teams or warehouse cover, and accept bookings. Your commission is calculated per order and the vendor balance is settled to their bank account on the payout schedule.

    Your board earns when employers need bodies faster than ads can deliver.

  • Vendor onboarding and checks

    Vendors submit their commercial registration, licence and bank details through a guided form. Your team reviews documents, approves or rejects with reasons, and tracks expiry dates, so an agency whose licence has expired cannot take new bookings.

    Only checked vendors can sell through the board.

  • Fast checkout for small employers

    A café owner hiring two baristas pays by mada, Apple Pay, STC Bank or card in a short checkout with no account setup beyond verification. Tabby or Tamara can be offered on larger packages if your provider supports business purchases and your terms allow it.

    Small businesses buy without calling your sales team.

  • Pay per application option

    For high volume roles, employers can choose to pay for qualified applications instead of a flat post. Screening questions decide what counts as qualified, the employer sets a cap, and charges stop automatically when the cap or the budget is reached.

    Employers pay for results and you price volume roles fairly.

  • WhatsApp and SMS job alerts

    Candidates opt in to receive new roles in their chosen district and trade through WhatsApp or SMS, with a one tap link back to the application. Featured campaigns get priority in these alerts, which gives employers a paid reason to upgrade. Candidates can pause or stop alerts at any time from the message itself.

    Frontline applicants hear about roles where they already spend time.

  • Reviews and dispute handling

    After a booked agency service ends, the employer rates the vendor and can open a dispute on missed shifts or unsuitable staff. Your team reviews the evidence, holds or releases the vendor payout and issues refunds with matching credit notes.

    Bad experiences are settled fairly and visibly.

  • ZATCA compliant invoices

    Every package, campaign and agency booking generates a tax invoice with a QR code, and the platform links to your e-invoicing solution for clearance or reporting when your business falls into an integration phase. Vendors receive commission statements that match.

    Your accountant and every vendor see the same numbers.

  • CV search credits for recruiters

    Recruiters at Jeddah hotels, clinics and logistics firms can buy access to search candidates who have chosen to be visible, filtered by trade, district, languages and availability. Each contact reveal uses a credit, every reveal is logged, and access ends with the plan, so candidates stay in control of who reaches them.

    Proactive recruiters pay for direct access, and candidates keep their privacy.

Who this is for

Four kinds of Jeddah board we are asked to build.

Jeddah's job market is shaped by the port, the airport, tourism on the Red Sea coast and the pilgrim flows toward Makkah and Madinah. Each of these produces a different kind of paying employer, so the first decision is which one your board serves. These are the starting points we see most often. A board can grow into a second segment later, but launching with one clear buyer makes pricing, sales and the first marketing campaigns far easier to get right.

01

A hospitality and pilgrim services board

Hotels, catering firms, transport operators and Umrah service companies hire heavily ahead of each season. The board sells campaign packages months ahead, lets employers post across Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah from one account, and gives staffing vendors a place to offer ready teams. Alerts go out in Arabic and English, plus any other language your candidate base reads. Employers can mark roles that include accommodation or transport, which is often the first thing a seasonal applicant looks for, and filter applicants who are already in the city.

Campaign timing is the main thing these buyers pay for.

02

A logistics, maritime and warehouse board

Freight forwarders, shipping agents, warehouse operators and transport firms around the port and the industrial areas need drivers, forklift operators, customs clerks and supervisors. We build trade filters, licence and certificate fields on candidate profiles, shift patterns on posts, and pay per application pricing for the roles that attract heavy volume. Company pages let a forwarder show its yards and depots, and recurring plans suit firms that hire every month rather than once a season.

03

A retail and food service board

Mall operators, shop chains and restaurant groups post many similar roles across branches. Bulk upload, branch templates and simple subscriptions bought by card suit them best. Saudization matters to these employers, so posts can be marked as open to Saudi nationals and the board can feature them, without claiming any link to government programmes. Area managers can approve posts from their branches before they go live, so the brand voice stays consistent across every store in the city.

Filters support your employers' own Nitaqat planning; they do not replace Qiwa.

04

A staffing company building a marketplace

A licensed manpower or staffing company in Jeddah can turn its website into a marketplace that hosts other approved agencies alongside its own services. You set the commission, approve vendors and control quality, while employers get more choice from one trusted board. Disputes, reviews and payouts are handled in the platform rather than by phone. Your own consultants keep their pipeline in the same admin, so you can compare your agency's performance with the vendors you host.

From a video call to a Jeddah board ready for peak season.

  1. 01Discovery by video callCalls with you, a few employers and a vendor or two, covering who pays, what they buy, the seasons that matter and which payment providers you already use.
  2. 02Marketplace rulesCommission rates, vendor approval steps, payout timing, refund and dispute rules, and campaign products documented and signed off by your finance lead.
  3. 03Mobile first designCandidate pages built for phones and Arabic right to left reading first, then employer and vendor dashboards designed for quick, repeated use.
  4. 04Build and payment testingGateway, wallets, payouts and invoicing tested in sandbox with failed cards, partial refunds, cancelled bookings and expired vendor licences.
  5. 05Load testing before the peakAlerts, search and checkout tested under the traffic a seasonal campaign can bring, so the board stays quick on the days employers paid for.
  6. 06Launch and season reviewsGo live, then a review after each hiring season covering campaign sales, vendor performance and where candidates dropped out.

What Jeddah board owners ask us first.

It depends on how much of the marketplace goes into the first release.

A board selling packages and campaigns by card is the quicker build. Adding vendor storefronts, payouts, disputes, pay per application pricing and WhatsApp alerts adds weeks of design and testing. If a season is close, we usually launch the employer side first and switch on the vendor marketplace afterwards, so you start earning before the peak rather than missing it. Dates are agreed once discovery calls are done, and they are written into the plan alongside the season you are aiming for.
