Starting a Job Board, need help getting users. (alien.top)

I have a job board, which is designed to help young people to find their first jobs. E.g. someone working at McDonalds, or their local supermarket. I too am around that age which I believe can be an advantage in terms of getting job seekers.

Aside from this, my site is fine, it's functional and all that (i used an envato theme & wordpress) but I'm not sure what the best way to get employers and candidates is.

I think I should post the jobs myself in the beginning and I also think that I should be very localised, e.g near where I live because the people I'm targeting want jobs near them.

How do you suggest that I should get my first users. Should I use social media, ads, content, post jobs myself, email companies, visit shops? Something else?

Thanks for reading this and I appreciate any/all advice.

Why have you decided to start a job board? What's the end goal? There are already a ton of job boards. Why do you think we need another one?

Yes, you should manually add the jobs to begin with. Then advertise the job board on social media and other places.

I wouldn't bother contacting companies until you have a lot of traffic. It would be a waste of a companies tie to add jobs if you don't have traffic.
