What each one does differently

Built In

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Tech employer brand if the buy is brand rather than a database.

Stands out: Employer-brand pages for a tech audience rather than a bare job listing.

Best for

Technology companies hiring in specific cities
Employer-brand teams in software
Talent teams that want a tech-specific audience

Wellfound

Free + paid seats Free tier

Why it comes up: Startup tech jobs if the company is early-stage.

Stands out: A free job post on a board early-stage candidates actually browse.

Watch out: Weak outside early-stage tech, and the paid tiers are a different product from the free post.

Best for

Startups hiring technical people
Teams that still recruit early-stage on Wellfound
Companies on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby or Workable

LinkedIn Recruiter

Quote-based

Why it comes up: The default graph if a niche board is an extra.

Stands out: It is the graph every other sourcing tool enriches from.

Watch out: It is supply, not a system of record, so you still need an ATS.

Best for

Almost every in-house talent team
Agency desks running InMail projects
Sourcers who work the graph daily

Stands out: Vetted developer supply instead of cold sourcing.

Watch out: Engineering only, no published price, and it is not a system of record.

Best for

Companies hiring software engineers quickly
