Job boards charge you whether or not you hire — per post, per click, per sponsored slot. Roven charges one placement fee when someone you hired through us actually starts. Until then, it costs nothing.
Why employers switch
Résumé floods, unqualified clicks you paid for, and candidates who never respond — because the incentive is volume, not fit. Roven flips the model.
No posting fees. No sponsorship auction. No per-click meter. Your listings compete on the role, not your ad budget.
Applicants are identity-verified people, not bots or bulk-apply scripts. Fewer applications, dramatically higher signal.
You pay a placement fee when a Roven hire starts. If you don't hire, you don't pay. Our revenue depends on your outcome.
Verification
Every employer on Roven passes automated business identity verification before posting. It's fast, it's one-time, and it's why candidates take Roven listings seriously — they know a real, checked business is behind every role. Your verified badge appears on your profile and every job you post.
Your accountability score works the same way in your favor: respond to applicants, and the record shows it. A strong score is the cheapest recruiting advantage you'll ever get — and it can't be bought, only earned.
Automated verification — legal entity, standing, identity. Minutes, not days.
Each role is confirmed open when posted. That's what keeps ghost jobs off Roven.
A pipeline built for answering: review, interview, offer, or pass — every disposition takes one click.
The placement fee applies when your hire starts. That's the whole bill.
Pricing
Free to post, search, and message. A single placement fee when someone you hired through Roven starts work. At launch, even that is waived — founding employers hire free while the marketplace grows, and pricing is published well before it ever turns on.
Questions employers ask
Basic business details — legal name, EIN or registration info — run through automated business identity verification. Most employers clear it in minutes. We never ask you to upload documents by hand unless automated checks can't resolve your entity.
When a candidate you met through Roven starts work. The fee and the guarantee window are stated upfront, before your first post. At launch, placement fees are waived entirely for founding employers.
Every placement carries a guarantee window. If the hire ends inside it, the fee is credited toward your next placement. We only get paid for hires that stick.
A published score computed from your actual behavior on Roven: how often you respond to applicants, how fast, and whether hires are confirmed. It isn't a review site — nothing is written by anonymous strangers, and nothing can be purchased. Respond to your applicants and the score takes care of itself.
Scores can't be edited — by you or by us — because they're computed from the record. What you can always do is change the record: scores weight recent behavior most heavily, so improved responsiveness shows up quickly.
Yes. Roven supports W-2 employment and 1099 contract roles equally — full-time, part-time, contract, and temporary. Every listing carries the same rules regardless of type: verified employer, confirmed open role, and a tracked answer for every applicant. The listing is labeled with its employment type so candidates know exactly what they’re applying to.
Because charging you before we've delivered candidates would make us every other job board. Founding employers hire free while the marketplace grows in Phoenix, and lock in priority standing when placement pricing turns on — with pricing published well in advance.
