An index, not a market.

Why JobInventory does not accept user-posted jobs — and never will.

The big job sites have a structural problem they cannot fix: they're paid by employers to surface listings, and they're paid by recruiters to surface resumes. The candidate is the product on both sides of the trade. The result, after twenty years, is what you'd expect — a feed full of bait-and-switch postings, ghost jobs, repost spam, and an inbox full of recruiters pitching roles you'd never take.

JobInventory is built around a single inversion: we do not let employers post. We do not let recruiters search you. We do not sell your resume, ever, to anyone, for any price. The only thing we do is build the most complete, fastest-refreshing index of legitimate US job postings on the public internet — pulled directly from career pages, ATS providers, and a small set of niche union and apprenticeship boards.

How the index works

Every twelve minutes, our crawlers pull from 118 partner endpoints. The data is normalized, de-duplicated, and salary-banded against our internal index. A listing only appears on JobInventory if we can trace it to a primary source — the employer's own careers page, or a Greenhouse/Lever/Ashby/Workday/SmartRecruiters feed they've authorized. We do not scrape aggregators that scrape other aggregators. The provenance chain is short by design.

When you click apply, you go to the employer's site. Period. We don't intercept the application, we don't proxy the form, we don't build a shadow ATS. The link in the apply button is the same URL the employer's marketing team would send you in an email.

Six principles

1. 01
   Partner-fed only.

   If a listing didn't come from the employer's primary careers page or an ATS feed they control, it doesn't appear here. No Indeed-style user posting, no recruiter resells, no scraped re-aggregation.

2. 02
   Free for employers.

   We charge employers exactly nothing to list. The index is editorially curated, not pay-to-play. There is no "sponsored listing" tier — and there never will be.

3. 03
   Direct apply, always.

   Every apply button leads to the employer's own site or their authorized ATS. We do not interpose ourselves between you and the hiring team.

4. 04
   No resume marketplace.

   JobInventory accounts are job-seeker only. Recruiters and employers cannot search candidates. Your resume lives in your browser unless you upload it to an employer's ATS yourself.

5. 05
   Stale listings die.

   If a listing disappears from the source feed, it disappears from JobInventory in the next refresh cycle. Ghost jobs cannot survive twelve minutes here.

6. 06
   Salary-banded transparency.

   Every listing is normalized against our salary index. If a listing posts compensation, we display it; if it doesn't, we estimate the band from comparable roles and label it clearly as ours, not the employer's.

Where the money comes from

JobInventory is operated by BuzzVertical, a holding company that runs a network of forty utility-first vertical sites. The network is funded by a small number of context-appropriate placements (job-related products on JobInventory; truck/SUV products on CarCrawl; veterinary insurance on PetOneStop) — never by selling data, never by accepting employer payments to surface listings.

If that ever changes, this page will say so first.
