# Hirepin: a remote software job board with paid and featured listings

by [@chris](https://elements.dev/users/chris) · 2026-09-30

## Description

Remote jobs filtered by category, type and salary, a weekly new-jobs email, and $99 listings paid by card, $50 more to feature.

Hirepin needed a board that fills in as listings are paid for, employers who post and edit from an emailed link, card payments for publishing and featuring, expiry reminders and a weekly email. Each of those is a part of Elements, so the agent spent its 25 minutes on the job board itself.

**What Elements gave the app**

- **A live board.** Listings are a LiveTable, so a job appears on every open board the moment its payment lands, and the search, category, job type and salary filters run in the page over that live list.
- **Posting without an account.** The post form sends the fields and the logo to the server in one `@rpc` call, saves a draft and emails the employer a private link for editing and paying later.
- **Card payments.** Publishing for 30 days costs $99 and featuring costs $50, with prices from the app's config. The listing goes live once whether the return page or Stripe's webhook arrives first, and until a Stripe key is added the pay button opens a test checkout inside the app that records the payment just as a Stripe one is recorded. In production the app registers its own Stripe webhook on the first checkout.
- **Jobs and email.** A cron schedule checks every 15 minutes, takes listings off the board after 30 days and emails each employer a few days before. Every Monday at 9am a job emails each subscriber the new jobs in their categories, once per week.
- **Data from SQL files.** Migrations define the board and seed the admin and 25 live listings from 22 made-up companies with drawn logos, four of them featured.
- **Sessions and roles.** The admin's review and remove pages and their server calls share one guard on the admin role.

**What the project server gave the agent**

The project server runs alongside the agent and answers as soon as a file is saved: it type-checks the templates, TypeScript and SQL, applies migrations and reruns the tests, so every question came back right away and the agent kept building.

**What shipped**

The app type-checks with zero errors and all 26 tests pass. Every page works on desktop and phone. A real sandbox payment went through Stripe end to end.
