My understanding (note: limited) is that some of the more profitable job boards have been DIY - 37 Signals and Fog Creek [1] come to mind. It seems that they offer a small number of job ads at any one time - the boutique nature of the offering increases their value. So if you only want to sell, say, 5 - 8 job ads a month at a fair price, DIY might be the way to go. If, however, you want to ramp up the number of jobs shown and the overall revenue (as opposed to price per ad), then a 3rd party job board which also provides some job ads may be the way to go.
