How to build a niche job board in Bubble

In the Data tab, create these Data Types: Company (name, logo, description, website, industry, location, size — text like '1-10', '11-50', '51-200'). Job_Posting (company — Company, title, description, category — Option Set, location, salary_min — number, salary_max — number, employment_type — Option Set: Full-time/Part-time/Contract/Freelance, experience_level — Option Set: Entry/Mid/Senior, is_remote — yes/no, posted_at — date, expires_at — date, is_active — yes/no). Application (job — Job_Posting, applicant — User, resume — file, cover_letter — text, status — text: submitted/reviewed/shortlisted/rejected, applied_at — date). Job_Alert (user — User, categories — list of Option Set, keywords — text, frequency — text: daily/weekly).

Create a 'jobs' page with a search bar and filter panel. Add filter controls: a Dropdown for category (your niche-specific categories from the Option Set), a Dropdown for employment_type, a Dropdown for experience_level, a Checkbox for remote_only, and a location Search Input. Set up a Repeating Group with data source: Do a Search for Job_Posting with constraints matching each filter (use Ignore empty constraints so blank filters show all jobs). Sort by posted_at descending. Each job card shows the title, company logo and name, location, salary range, and tags for employment type and experience level.

Create a 'job' page (type: Job_Posting). Display the full job description with company logo, title, location, salary, employment type, and a formatted description. Add an 'Apply Now' button. When clicked, check if the user is logged in (redirect to signup if not). Show an application form with resume upload (File Uploader element), cover letter (Multiline Input), and a Submit button. The submit workflow creates an Application record linking the job, applicant, resume, and cover letter. Send an email to the company's contact with the application details. Show a confirmation message.

Create a 'company' page (type: Company) showing the company profile: logo, description, website link, size, location, and a Repeating Group of their active Job_Postings. Create an 'employer-dashboard' page for logged-in company users. Include a 'Post New Job' form with inputs for all Job_Posting fields, and a Repeating Group of their existing postings with options to edit, deactivate, or delete. Add an application viewer: when the employer selects a job, show all Applications in a Repeating Group with applicant name, resume download link, cover letter preview, and status update buttons (Review, Shortlist, Reject).

Create a 'job-alerts' page where logged-in users configure their preferences: select categories, enter keywords, and choose frequency (daily or weekly). Save as a Job_Alert record. Create a backend workflow called 'send-job-alerts' that searches for Job_Postings created since the last alert run, matching the user's categories and keywords. For each matching user-job pair, send an email listing the new jobs with links to their detail pages. Schedule this workflow to run daily. For weekly alerts, add a condition checking the day of the week.

In Bubble's Settings, configure your job detail page to use the Job_Posting's slug in the URL (set slugs via the 'Set a thing's slug' action when creating job postings). On the job page, go to the SEO/Metatags section in the page settings and set dynamic meta tags: Page title to the job title + company name, meta description to a truncated job description, and OG image to the company logo. This helps job listings appear in search results. Add a sitemap page that lists all active job URLs for search engine crawling.
