Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Oru.
Getting Started
- Is Oru really free to start?
- Yes! There are no upfront monthly fees or setup costs. Instead, we take a percentage of each paid job posting, so your success is our success. If you want more features, we offer Oru Pro at $49/board/month.
- How long does it take to set up a job board?
- Most users have their job board live in under 5 minutes. Sign up, name your board, add your logo, and you're ready to accept job postings.
- Do I need technical skills?
- No coding required! Everything is point-and-click. Upload your logo, pick your colors, and customize your copy through a simple dashboard.
- Can I migrate from another job board platform?
- Yes! You can bulk import jobs from a CSV or TXT file, or paste URLs from any careers page—Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, or any job listing. Our AI extracts the job details automatically.
Payments
- How do I get paid?
- Payments go directly to your Stripe account. You'll need to connect Stripe (takes about 2 minutes), then payouts happen automatically on Stripe's schedule—typically daily or weekly depending on your country.
- What payment methods are supported?
- Job posters can pay with credit cards, debit cards, and Apple Pay. Stripe handles all payment processing securely.
- What are the platform fees?
- We take a percentage of each paid job posting based on your monthly revenue: 20% for $0-$1,000/month, 15% for $1,001-$5,000/month, and 10% for $5,001+/month. The more you earn, the lower your fees—automatically.
- Can I offer free job postings?
- Yes! You can set your posting price to $0 and run a completely free job board. You can also mix free and paid listings—for example, offering free basic posts and paid featured listings.
Customization
- Can I use my own domain?
- Custom domain support is coming soon! For now, you get a free subdomain like yourboard.oru.club.

- Can I customize the look and feel?
- Absolutely. Upload your logo, choose your brand colors, and customize all the copy on your board. You can also customize the application form fields.
