I'm not running a job board, but I run a jobs website. That's a pretty small market for a job board. Companies that operate in markets that size usually have dozens/hundreds/thousands of properties. SEO is often huge for job boards. If you can out-SEO your competition (which could be very hard or very easy), then you'll have a huge advantage in gaining traction. The really tough part is selling job postings before you have an audience. You should use SimplyHired or Indeed to backfill with local results until you can get companies to post on your site. Competing on price isn't going to make you stand out much. HR offices are very risk-averse, so they'd rather spend what they've always spent than try something new. I'm not saying you should scrap, but you need to be fully aware of the challenges you will face. I'm happy to share more if you're interested - willy@onedayonejob.com.
