Where it sits in the data

EJable's $15K a month is higher than 71% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

In my view, this needs real work because employers need relevant candidates and candidates need relevant listings. Distribution would have to come through searchable job pages, alerts, articles, employer relationships, and partner channels.

The difficult parts are maintaining a steady supply of relevant listings, keeping employer and job information current, handling support, and competing for attention in a job-board environment. Regulation and local hiring requirements would also need to be checked for each market.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

EJable combines a focused job board with job alerts, company pages, employer posting tools, candidate search, articles, separate registration paths, and business-partner invitations.
