Stands out: Tech-only supply, so budget is not spent reaching the wrong candidates.
Watch out: Subscriptions start at $549 a month billed annually, and it is no use outside technical hiring.

LevelUp IT
Stands out: The Unlimited plan has no download cap at $500/mo, well below most job board resume search subscriptions, and profiles show work authorization up front so you can skip candidates who need sponsorship. The free plan is generous enough to test the data quality on real searches before paying.
Watch out: Most of the database comes from one staffing firm's past candidates, so some resumes may be years old and the people in them may not expect other recruiters to contact them. The vendor also pitches unlimited mass email to candidates, which can damage your domain's deliverability if you blast cold lists. It is a young product with no outside reviews yet; test the free downloads on a current search before committing.
