Where they pull apart
Dice
Stands out: Tech-only supply, so budget is not spent reaching the wrong candidates.
Watch out: No published price, and no use outside technical hiring.
Not the right fit for
- Non-technical hourly hiring
- Campus-only programmes
Levels.fyi Jobs
Stands out: The audience arrives already comparing compensation, and Levels.fyi says over half of its 1.5 million monthly visitors are senior in their roles. The free tier lets you post jobs and route applicants to your own ATS at no cost. The Premium plan bundles promoted jobs with access to a talent pool where candidates show verified level and expected pay upfront.
Watch out: Both paid plans were marked closed beta on the pricing page, so availability may be limited. The audience is tech roles, so it is a poor fit for non-technical or hourly hiring. If your pay is below market, candidates on this site will see that quickly.
Not the right fit for
- Hourly or non-technical hiring
- Employers who prefer not to show pay
- Teams needing wide job distribution to other boards
