The Salesforce job board is broken — and I'm building a smaller, sharper one

The big job boards weren't built for the Salesforce community.

If you've ever searched "Salesforce Developer" on Indeed or LinkedIn, you know what I mean. You get 4,000 results. Most of them are not Salesforce roles. The ones that are, are buried under recruiter blast posts, three-month-old listings the company never closed out, and "Salesforce experience preferred" jobs where the real ask is something else entirely.

This isn't a generic frustration. It's a structural problem:

- ❌ Generic filters that don't know what a Salesforce certification is
- ❌ Apply paths that route through five middlemen before the hiring manager sees you
- ❌ Listings that stay live forever — half of what you're scrolling isn't real anymore
- ❌ Recruiter posts dressed up as employer posts
- ❌ No way to actually find the niche roles (Revenue Cloud, Data Cloud, MuleSoft, Agentforce) without scrolling past 200 unrelated postings first

I've been in the Salesforce community for almost a decade. I've trained 500+ developers through Cloud Code Academy. I've watched hundreds of my own students go through this exact slog every time they look for a role. And honestly… I got tired of it.

So I built something different.

## What I'm doing differently

The site is small on purpose. A curated register of Salesforce work — admins, developers, architects, consultants, ops. That's it. No "data analyst" jobs that happen to mention Salesforce in passing. No multi-level recruiter pyramids. Just real listings from real companies that actually need real Salesforce talent.

Here's how that translates into product decisions:

→ **Flat $99 for a 45-day listing.** Not a subscription. Not per-applicant. Not enterprise pricing. If you're hiring one Trailblazer for your team, you should be able to post a role without sitting through a sales demo.

→ **Direct apply.** Candidates click your apply URL. That's it. No middlemen. No "complete your profile to apply." No data resold to third parties.

→ **Anonymous browsing.** Job seekers don't have to sign up. Look around, find what fits, apply. The friction belongs on the employer side, not on the side of the person trying to find work.

→ **Listings expire.** 45 days and they're off the board. No zombie posts from positions that got filled last quarter.

→ **Curated, not crawled.** I'm not scraping LinkedIn or Indeed. Roles come from companies that chose to post here because they wanted Salesforce talent specifically.

## Why this matters

Here's what most people don't realize: the Salesforce ecosystem is one of the most specialized labor markets in tech. The skills you build for Sales Cloud are real. The certifications you stack are real. The communities and conferences and contributors are real. But the place you go to find work in this ecosystem isn't — it's a generic job board with a "Salesforce" filter bolted on.

We deserve better infrastructure.

I'm not pretending this is going to replace LinkedIn or Indeed. I don't need to. I just need to be the first place a Salesforce admin looks when they're ready for their next role — and the first place a Revenue Operations leader posts when they need to hire one.

That's the bar.

## What's next

I'm starting small. A few dozen curated listings. Weekly email digest going out Mondays. Voucher codes for companies in the community who want to try a posting at no cost.

If you're hiring a Salesforce role and you've been frustrated with the existing options — post here. The form takes maybe five minutes. The listing goes live the moment you pay (or redeem a voucher).

If you're looking for a role — browse the register. Subscribe to the brief. Apply directly. No middlemen.

And if you're someone in the Salesforce community who has thoughts on what would actually be useful here — tell me. I'm not building this in a vacuum. Drop a comment on the LinkedIn announcement, send me a DM, or reply to the weekly email. I read every one.

This is for the community. Let's build it together.
