What Kardow is
Kardow is hosted job board software for launching a board, collecting paid listings, and managing jobs, applications, and analytics. Operators can accept employer submissions, bulk import listings, approve jobs before publication, and set listings to expire automatically. Scheduled imports can bring in listings from public careers sites and job feeds, with filters for industry, keywords, and locations; the site says imports cover over 100 countries and any language. Boards can earn through paid posts, bundles, subscriptions, or paywalled listings, with Stripe payments. Listings include Google for Jobs markup, sitemaps, and location and category pages, while analytics are described as real time. Employers can manage listings and review applicants; candidates can maintain profiles, upload resumes, and track applications. Plans include hosting, updates, and security, and the FAQ says SSL and backups are handled for customers. Jobs, job seeker accounts, and employer accounts are unlimited, but monthly import credits are metered. Annual billing starts at $59/mo, and a 14-day trial is listed. iOS and Android apps provide push notifications for new jobs, pending account approvals, and payments.
