Why job boards are broken (and what to do instead)
Why job boards are broken (and what to do instead)
Sick of endless scrolling? There’s a reason you’re stuck.
You open a job board. You search for something like “marketing manager” or “customer service rep.”
Hundreds of listings flood your screen. You scroll. You click. You hope.
Unfortunately, most people need to apply for up to 200 jobs before they get hired (Lehigh University). It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and directionless when you find yourself right back where you started, back to applying for jobs.
The real problem with job boards
These platforms were built for employers, not for you.
They’re designed to help companies filter resumes—not to help you navigate your next move.
That’s why your job search feels like this:
- Endless scrolling with no real direction
- Applications disappearing into a black hole
- Little to no feedback or clarity on why your resume wasn’t selected
Worse, job boards can lure you in with "Easy Apply" buttons—tempting you to blast out resumes without knowing if you even belong in those roles.
