Founder of JobBoard.io here. Job boards can be a great way to supplement monetization of a niche audience. Expect it to take a while to build traction, but when you do it can be quite valuable. I agree you should start by not charging for posting.

Once the audience is built up, by specializing and being in a niche you should be able to charge MORE for postings than a more generic job board.

We put together a pretty comprehensive blog post a while back on the topic of job board marketing and promotion, you may find it useful:

It covers things like email marketing, social and using backfill to beef up your inventory....hope this helps!
