What is Cavuno?

Cavuno is a job board platform that enables founders, associations, and communities to launch fully branded, automated job boards in under five minutes — with no coding required. Built by the team behind Himalayas (a job board for remote workers), Cavuno handles job sourcing, categorization, employer enrichment, and candidate search automatically, so operators can focus on growth and monetization instead of manual data entry.


AI-Powered Automation

Cavuno aggregates jobs from millions of listings and filters them by keywords, locations, job types, and companies. AI auto-tagging extracts skills, categories, seniority levels, and employment types from every listing. Company profiles are automatically enriched with logos, descriptions, market verticals, and social links — eliminating hours of manual work per day.


Hybrid Search & Discovery

The platform combines semantic vector embeddings (Voyage AI), BM25 keyword matching, and neural reranking (ColBERT) to deliver search results that understand candidate intent, not just keywords. Faceted filtering by location, salary, job type, and experience level updates in real time with result counts.


Candidate Accounts & Resume Database

Cavuno includes full candidate accounts out of the box — not just email collection. Candidates can sign up, build detailed profiles with work experience, education, and skills, save jobs to a personal dashboard, and set up personalized job alerts. For board operators, this creates a growing resume database of engaged candidates — a valuable asset for monetization and employer retention. Configurable registration walls let operators gate features like job applications or saved jobs to drive signups, and one-click candidate saving gives employers a streamlined way to shortlist talent. This turns a job board from a one-sided listings directory into a two-sided recruiting platform.


Real-Time Search Engine Indexing

Most job board platforms leave operators to manually submit URLs or wait for search engine crawlers. Cavuno automatically provisions a Google Cloud project and connects the Google Indexing API with one click — no developer setup, no service account configuration, no JSON key files. Combined with IndexNow support for Bing, Yandex, and other engines, new and updated job listings are pushed to search engines within minutes of publishing, not days. For job boards where listings are time-sensitive, this means significantly more organic traffic before positions are filled.


Programmatic SEO

Cavuno auto-generates category, location, skill, and combination pages optimized for search engines. Google for Jobs structured data, dynamic sitemaps, and Core Web Vitals optimization are built in. Operators report ranking for thousands of long-tail keywords within months of launch.


Monetization

Stripe Connect integration supports one-time and subscription job posting plans, featured listings, discount codes, and display advertising via Google AdSense. There are no transaction fees or revenue share on any plan — operators keep 100% of their earnings on a flat monthly subscription starting at $29/month.
