Why I Built React Native Jobs

I've been building apps with React Native for over five years. For the last three, I've been the solo mobile developer at Zapfloor, maintaining and shipping a production app used daily. Before that - and during - I spent a lot of time looking at job boards. And every time, the same frustration: searching for "React Native" and getting results for React web, generic mobile development, or listings that mention fifteen frameworks and expect you to know all of them. React Native isn't React. It isn't generic mobile development. It's its own ecosystem with its own tools, patterns, and community. But no job board treated it that way. ## The VueJobs Moment At Zapfloor, we once needed to hire a Vue developer. We tried LinkedIn first - got plenty of applicants, almost none relevant. Then we posted on VueJobs.com, a job board specifically for Vue developers. Within a week, we had a strong match. That's when it clicked. Vue has a dedicated job board. Angular has one. React has several. But React Native - a framework used by Instagram, Shopify, Discord, and thousands of companies worldwide - didn't have one. So I built it. ## What React Native Jobs Is A job board with one rule: every listing is a React Native position. **For developers:** No filtering through irrelevant posts. No "React/React Native/Flutter/whatever" listings. If it's on this board, it's React Native. **For companies:** Your listing reaches developers who have specifically chosen React Native as their career. Not generalists who list it as one of twenty skills. People who actually know the framework. ## Who's Behind This My name is Vincent. I run React Native Jobs as a product of [Dev in IT](https://devinit.be), my Belgian software consultancy. I'm not a recruiter. I'm not a marketing person. I'm a developer who's been in the React Native ecosystem long enough to know what both sides - developers and hiring companies - need from a job board. I attend React Native conferences and meetups. I've been to App.js Conf. I'm part of the React Native meetup community in Belgium. I use the framework every day. This matters because it means the job board is built by someone who can tell a legitimate React Native position from a vague "mobile developer" listing. That quality filter is the entire point. ## What's Next React Native Jobs is growing. We're adding features based on what developers and companies actually tell us they need - not what other job boards do by default. As the platform grows, the goal is to invest part of the revenue back into the React Native ecosystem - sponsoring meetups, conferences, and community initiatives. The community that makes this platform valuable should benefit from it. If you're a React Native developer, [browse current openings](https://reactnative-jobs.com/jobs). If you're hiring, [post a job](https://reactnative-jobs.com) and reach the right audience. And if you have feedback - what's working, what's missing, what would make this more useful - I want to hear it: hello@reactnative-jobs.com
