Job board niche explorer: how many jobs to start with?
Type the job title words and a country. See how many of the open jobs in JobClay’s source library match, which companies post them, and how many jobs a board on each plan would open with.
This answers one question: will my board look empty? It does not answer whether employers will pay, and the signals below are the ones it cannot measure.
What a board would start with
Choose a country, or a niche to count every country.
What this does not tell you
Three signals of a good niche that JobClay cannot measure. Each rule below is published by a company that sells job board software, and they disagree with each other, so read them as one view, not a standard.
Search demand
How many people search for these jobs. JobClay holds no keyword volumes, so this page cannot tell you.
- 5,000 or more monthly searches: Cavuno, updated October 11, 2026
- about 2,000 monthly searches, with keyword difficulty under 20%: Job Boardly, read November 3, 2026
Employers willing to pay
Whether employers in the niche will pay to post. A count of jobs does not show it: only asking employers does.
A community to reach
Whether you can reach the people who would read the board. JobClay cannot see your audience.
- a subreddit of 10,000 or a community of 5,000: Cavuno, updated October 11, 2026
What the count is, and is not
- The library is a fixed set of companies on the hiring systems JobClay reads (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable and SmartRecruiters). The count is the floor of what JobClay supplies on its own, not a census of the market.
- Counts come before a board’s own source rules (words, places, end dates), so a niche board keeps fewer of these jobs.
- The library is checked weekly, so every figure is the last weekly count, with its date.
- A count of jobs does not show what a board would earn, and the page measures what JobClay can supply, not the market.
How the counts are made
- Each week JobClay reads the open jobs of every company in its source library from the company’s public job board.
- It keeps the title, the countries and the company’s industry of each open job, only to count them. Titles are not shown on this page, and neither are links to jobs.
- Your words match whole words in the title, as a board’s own search does, so “nurse” finds “Nurse Practitioner” and not “Nursery Assistant”.
- A company whose last reads failed for more than two weeks is left out of every count. When a company’s last read was partial, the figure says “at least”.

Questions
What does “at the last weekly count” mean?
The library is read once a week. The figures are the open jobs at that read, with its date beside them, not a live count.
Does a big count mean the board will earn?
No. Jobs on a board and employers who pay to post are different things, and this page counts only the first. Use the revenue calculator for the money side.
Why does a search show companies and counts but no jobs?
The library is a count of what JobClay can supply, not a place to browse jobs. Once a board exists, its sources bring the jobs in and the board shows them.
Can I search for remote jobs?
Not yet. A hiring-system source cannot be limited to remote jobs, so a board could not keep the promise a remote count would make.
